- Applications of Natural Fibers and Its Composites: An Overview (2016, background): “low cost, low weight, less damage to processing equipment, improved surface finish of moulded parts composite, good relative mechanical properties, abundant and renewable resources [3].”
- Mechanical properties of kenaf fibre reinforced polymer composite: A review (2015, positive): “Treatment of kenaf fibres with 6% NaOH, splitted the kenaf fibre bundles into fine fibres resulting in the permissible entrance of the epoxy resin which pierce in the fibre bundles causing to high intertwining of the fibres in the matrix thus leads to greater interfacial adhesion [26].”
- Tensile mechanical properties and surface chemical sensitivity of technical fibres from date palm fruit branches (Phoenix dactylifera L.) (2015, result): “It is also worth of notice that the alkaline treatment of natural fibres has been also used by other authors [2,5,11,19,20,22].”
- A review on the characterisation of natural fibres and their composites after alkali treatment and water absorption (2017, background): “, the NaOH-treated kenaf/epoxy composite showed breakage only at the end of the fibres, whereas untreated kenaf/epoxy composite showed de-bonding, tearing, detachments and pull-out of fibres due to the low interfacial adhesion of fibres with the matrix [64].”
