Effects of enzymatic treatment of sisal fibres on tensile strength and morphology
This study explored the use of enzymes as an alternative method of hydrolysing cementing layers in sisal fibres. Sisal fibres were treated with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hemicellulase enzyme and the effects of treatment on the morphology and tensile strength were examined. Pre-treatment was done u...
