Impact of Fiber Buildup Stacking Sequence on Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour of Natural Fiber–Reinforced Anamide Composites by M. Subramanian, M. Diviya, S. Kaliappan, A. Deepak, Kuldeep K. Saxena, Nasim Hasan

“…The findings showed that a glass transition temperature close to 100°C can be achieved at 1 Hz to increase the fiber orientation of the basalt fiber-enhanced anamide compounds. Through the thermo-gravimetric analysis experiments, the excellent thermal stability of composite laminates at temperatures above 600°C was conspicuous. …”
