The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 0.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00004 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.08 SJR: 0.153 SNIP: 0.178 CiteScore™:: 1 H-Index: 12

ABSTRACT

Polymer matrix composite materials play a vital role in product development, and it is a best alteration for metals. In the present scenario, natural fibers are considered more important than synthetic fibers as reinforcements in polymer matrix composites due to the environment pollution and other hazards. This paper deals with the kenaf fabric-reinforced hybrid polymer matrix composite material. A hybrid polymer is a mixture of synthetic and natural resins. Cardanol is used as natural resin and vinyl ester resin, isophthalic polyester resin, and general purpose resin are used as synthetic resins. The tensile and flexural strengths of the kenaf fabric-reinforced hybrid polymer matrix composite based on different parameters like percentage of cardanol in a hybrid polymer, type of synthetic resin in a hybrid polymer, and orientation of the kenaf fabric are found out. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is employed to find the level of different parameters that affects the tensile and flexural strengths.
