Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.This study investigated the physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of Imperata cylindrica (IC) fibers extracted using 2 wt%, 4 wt%, and 6 wt% NaOH. Since 6 wt% NaOH yielded complete removal, fibers obtained from this concentration were furthermore treated with 1% concentration of silane before characterization.
