Hybrid composites have been prepared by reinforcing lingo-cellulosic oil palm fibers and glass fibers in phenol formaldehyde resin matrix. Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics has been studied by Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Parameters like enthalpy released and thermal stability of the composites have been evaluated using the DSC data. Activation energy of the composites has been evaluated by two different methods and compared. TPS technique has been employed to measure the effective thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity of the composites. Thermal conductivity of the fibers has been evaluated by a theoretical model and compared. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
