HEMP-BASED COMPOSITE MATERIALS AS A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR MODERN INDUSTRIES

Abstract

In the global effort to develop sustainable solutions, hemp-based composite materials have emerged as a viable, less toxic and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials. Due to its physical and mechanical properties, hemp is a renewable resource with significant potential in industries such as aerospace, construction, transportation, and energy. This article aims to investigate the manufacture and tensile strength of hemp roving, hemp coupled with fiber glass and fiber glass composites. Microscopic observations are also made to evaluate the failure of the test specimens.
