INCORPORATION OF BIO BASED FLAX FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER SKINS FOR PACKAGING ENHANCEMENTS
This thesis provides an approach to incorporate natural composites like Flax Fiber using a resin with 30% bio-content to enhance the packaging boxes made of corrugated cardboard. The objective of introducing natural composite skins is to reduce/eliminate the compressive loading subjected to the boxes while stacking in warehouses.
