Description
The laminated woven kenaf composites were produced to compare with the existing lamination structure (of prosthetic leg socket) in terms of their mechanical (tensile, flexural and impact) and physical (density and moisture content) properties in identifying both strengths and weaknesses. These composites were prepared using sandwich layering or lamination technique - a similar technique used to fabricate sockets of prosthetic legs. The preparation of samples of Kenaf laminated composite for the physical and mechanical tests is shown in Figure 2. One or two layers of woven kenaf fibre is used, depending on the lamination structure (Figure 3), as the replacement for glass fibres in the production of the prosthetic leg socket. Prototype of a complete prosthetic leg set, with the socket made of kenaf laminated biocomposite.
