An Investigation on the Interfacial Adhesion between Amine Functionalized Luffa Fiber and Epoxy Resin and Its Effect on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Their Composites

The objective of this work is to develop a natural fiber-reinforced epoxy composite with enhanced compatibility between resin and the fiber, achieved by amino silane treatment of Luffa fiber. Amine modification on the surface of the Luffa fiber is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy...
