Strength Properties of Surface Modified Kenyan Sisal Fibres
This study aimed at determining and comparing the mechanical properties of natural, mercerized, and cornified sisal fibers. Sisal fiber morphology was modified by mercerization using a 0.06 Molar sodium hydroxide solution and by a seven-hour, seven cycle cornification at 100°C. The fiber strength pr...
