Effect of Chemical treatment on Flexure Properties of Natural Fiber-reinforced Polyester Composite (2011, background): “Several authors [1–5], have focussed the studies on the treatment of fibres to improve the bonding with resin matrix.”
A Review on Pineapple Leaves Fibre and Its Composites (2015, unknown): “In surface modification process reagents make fibres hydrophobic in nature and graft the fibres surface with resin matrix and some compatible polymers [134].”
Comparison of different natural fiber treatments: a literature review (2018, background): “It is reported that the alkaline treatment increased the surface tension of sisal fibers and hence improved its adhesion to the epoxy resin while improved the compressive strength and decreased the water uptake of the composite (Bisanda 2000).”
A review on the characterisation of natural fibres and their composites after alkali treatment and water absorption (2017, background): “the effective surface area for mechanical interlocking between the matrix and fibre, thus improving the interfacial bonding [13,15,16].”
Mechanical property improvement of unsaturated polyester composite reinforced with admicellar-treated sisal fibers (2009, methodology): “To investigate the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of the fiber surface, several techniques, such as the measurements of wetting and spreading phenomena, moisture absorption, and electrostatic charge, have been used [2,9,11–13].”
