Effect of Alkali Treatment on the Physical, Mechanical, and Morphological Properties of Waste Betel Nut (Areca catechu) Husk Fibre

Effect of Alkali Treatment on the Physical, Mechanical, and Morphological Properties of Waste Betel Nut (Areca catechu) Husk Fibre

This study aims to determine the properties of waste betel nut husk (BNH) fiber as a potential alternative for reinforcement in polymer composites. The BNH fibres were subjected to alkali treatment using 5% sodium hydroxide. In this work, husk fibres extracted from betel nut fruit were characterized...
