Effect of surface treatments on the cross-section area and on the tensile properties of sisal fibers

This work deals with the effect that surface treatments can cause on the cross-section and on the tensile properties of sisal fibers. The simplest treatment of washing in tap water, at room temperature and at 60°C, was compared with mercerization treatment. The observed variation of the tensile prop...
