Microstructural and Mechanical Characterizations of Natural Long Alfa Fibers Obtained with Different Extractions Processes

This study investigates the morphological changes and tensile properties of Alfa fibers extracted mechanically after two treatments namely water retting and alkali treatment. The Scanning Electron Microscopy technique is used in this experimental work. The main observation reveals the decrease of no...
