Effects of Treatment-Duration on Mechanical, Chemical, Structural and Thermal Properties of Baobab-Pod Fibres

In this paper, the surface of baobab pod fibers (BPFs) is treated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at various (0 min to 100 min at step size of 20 min) soaking time. The samples are labeled A, B, C, D, E and F. The effect of mercerization on the fibers is investigated via structural, morphological, mec...
