Influence of Treatments on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Sugar Palm Fibre Reinforced Phenolic Composites

Sugar palm fibre (SPF) was used to prepare composites with phenolic resin. The SPF underwent treatment with either sea water for 30 d or a 0.5% alkaline solution for 4 h. The composites contained 30% (vol.) SPF in a powdered form, and the composite samples were fabricated by a hot press machine. The...
