Treatments of jute fibers aiming at improvement of fiber-phenolic matrix adhesion
Composites based on a thermoset phenolic matrix and jute fibers were prepared and characterized. The fibers were alternatively treated with ionized air or aqueous alkaline solution (mercerization) with the aim of introducing changes in the morphology, dispersive component of surface free energy, γS...
