Effects of Physical and Mechanical Properties of Coir Fiber and Reinforced Epoxy Composites Treated with Acetic Anhydride and Alkali

ABSTRACTModified coir fiber improves compatibility between fiber and matrix. To explore a better fiber treatment approach and enhance the mechanical properties of composites, this study conducted alkali treatment and acetic anhydride treatment on long and short coir fibers. The effects of different...
