Effect of Thermal Aging and Chemical Treatment on Tensile Properties of Coir Fiber
Effect of thermal aging and chemical treatment on the physical properties of coir fiber was investigated. Coir fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide and glutaraldehyde for 2 h. The influence of alkali and aldehyde treatment on tensile strength and elongation at break was studied in detail. Enhan...
