Effect of surface treatment and fiber loading on the physical, mechanical, sliding wear, and morphological characteristics of tasar silk fiber waste-epoxy composites for multifaceted biomedical and engineering applications: fabrication and characterizations

In the present study, waste of tasar silk fiber was used as reinforcement in the epoxy resin. Tasar silk fiber waste (TSFW) was pre-treated with NaOH coupling agent before reinforcing it with epoxy matrix. Treated and untreated TSFW-epoxy composites were made using the compression moulding technique...
