Mechanical and water-absorption properties of sisal fiber (Agave sisalana)-reinforced polyester composite

Mechanical and water-absorption properties of composites made from sisal fiber and polyester matrix have been investigated. Test specimens were prepared with untreated fiber and treated with alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide. The amount of fiber content in the composites varied with values of 10...
