Effects of Alkali Treatment on the Mechanical Properties and Moisture Absorption Behavior of Flax/polypropylene Composites
Flax fiber is one of the strongest natural fibers. However, it is highly susceptible to moisture absorption and has poor adhesion with polymer matrix. Alkali treatment of flax fiber was considered in this study aiming to overcome this issue. Four alkali solutions with different NaOH concentrations,...
