The Effect of Alkali Treatment on Chemical and Physical Properties of Ichu and Cabuya Fibers

Ichu and Cabuya were characterized and the effect of alkali treatment on the chemical and physical properties of these fibers was studied. This treatment was carried out to remove non-cellulosic components in order to improve the adhesion of these fibers to be used as reinforcing composites since th...
