Characterization of Untreated and Alkalized Eichhornia Crassipes Fibers and Its Composites

In this study, Eichhornia crassipes fibers (ECF) were treated in the 5% (w/v) NaOH for 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. The evaluation of chemical composition clearly concluded that 5% (w/v) NaOH solution with 60 min treating period optimally modified the chemical constitution of the ECF. The outcomes of ch...
