Repository Copy of: Mechanical and Environmental Comparison of Natural Fibers and Glass Fiber in the L-RTM Method

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the mechanical and environmental properties of natural fibers and glass fibers using the L-RTM method.
• Comparison of mechanical properties of natural and glass fibers
• Analysis of environmental impacts associated with both types of fibers
• Utilization of the L-RTM (Light Resin Transfer Molding) method in evaluations
• Natural fibers demonstrated lower environmental impact compared to glass fibers.
• Mechanical properties varied significantly between the two fiber types, with glass fibers often outperforming natural fibers.
• L-RTM method proved effective for both types in terms of application and efficiency.
