A review on the characterisation of natural fibres and their composites after alkali treatment and water absorption (2017, background): “hypothesis for negligible change in tensile strength for various concentration levels of NaOH was due to the improved fibre/matrix adhesion [56].”
Polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with coir fibres: Evaluation of mechanical performance and multifunctional properties (2014, background): “The alkali fibre treatment often leads to the removal of the lignin and pectin from coir fibres, and thus the cellulose content can be relatively increased, resulting in the improvement of flexibility and elasticity of coir fibres [30].”
