The effect of sodium hydroxide treatment and fiber length on the tensile property of coir fiber-reinforced epoxy composites

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of surface modification through sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment and fiber length on the tensile strength of coir fiber of reinforced epoxy composites. The coir fibers were treated with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% concentration of NaOH separately for 1...
