A STUDY ON DIFFERENT CHEMICAL TREATMENTS FOR NATURAL FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITES
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper examines the chemical treatments of natural fiber reinforced composites to increase their performance. The natural fibers have the advantages of low density, low cost, and biodegradability or eco-friendly in nature. But, the main disadvantages of natural fiber composites are the poor compatibility between reinforcement and matrix. In the natural fibers the relative moisture sorption is high compared to others. Therefore, in this paper the chemical treatments are compared with respect to their compatibility.
