## Abstract Banana fiber, one of the world's most important natural fiber obtained from the bast of the plant __Musa Saptentum Linn,__ is available in plenty in Kerala. Without reinforcement, polyester resins are hard and brittle and cannot be used for structural applications. In the present study,
This paper reports the effect of water absorption behavior on the dynamic mechanical properties of pultruded kenaf fiber reinforced composites (PKRC). Water absorption tests were conducted by immersing PKRC specimens into three different conditions at room temperature for a period of 24 weeks. Water
