Influence of Alkali Treatment on Physicochemical, Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Hibiscus Vitifolius Fibers

Hibiscus vitifolius was found to possess the promising potential required for reinforcing polymer matrices. In this study, Hibiscus vitifolius fibers were immersed in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8% NaOH solution for 1 hr and the effects of alkali treatment on chemical, mechanical and thermal characteristi...
