Influence of Surface Treatments on the Adhesion of Plant Fibers to Epoxy Resin
Abstract: Because of their primary benefits, moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and the fact that they are a renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally safe material, natural fibers are seen to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Since they are inherently hydrophilic, moisture can easily build up on them, weakening or plasticizing the fibers’ adhesion to the surrounding matrix and affecting the performance of composite materials used in …
