Improvement of the Degradation of Tensile and Impact Strength of Water-aged Sisal Fiber-reinforced Polyester Composites: A Comparative Study on the Effects of Hybridizations, Hybrid Layering Sequences, and Chemical Treatments

This research aims to reduce the degradation of sisal fiber-reinforced polyester composites due to water absorption through chemical treatments and hybridizations. Sisal fibers were treated using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and baking soda (NaHCO3). Unidirectional glass and carbon fibers were chosen as...
