Effect of chemical treatments on tensile properties and interfacial shear strength of unsaturated polyester/fan palm fibers
Surface treatment of fan palm fibers (FPFs) was investigated as a means of improving fiber tensile strength (FTS) and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of unsaturated polyester (UPR)/FPFs samples. The fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide, silane, and a combined sodium hydroxide and silane. FT-I...
