Static Mechanical, Interfacial, and Water Absorption Behaviors of Alkali Treated Oil Palm Mesocarp Fiber Reinforced Poly(butylene succinate) Biocomposites

Static Mechanical, Interfacial, and Water Absorption Behaviors of Alkali Treated Oil Palm Mesocarp Fiber Reinforced Poly(butylene succinate) Biocomposites

In this work, oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF) was surface-treated with varying NaOH concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7, or 9%) and soaking times (1, 2, 3, or 4 h) at room temperature aiming to enhance its adhesion to the thermoplastic matrix for biocomposite application. The biocomposites from alkali treated...
