Chemical Treatment of Waste Abaca for Natural Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Composite

Chemical Treatment of Waste Abaca for Natural Fiber-Reinforced Geopolymer Composite

The use of natural fibers in reinforced composites to produce eco-friendly materials is gaining more attention due to their attractive features such as low cost, low density and good mechanical properties, among others. This work thus investigates the potential of waste abaca (Manila hemp) fiber as...
