Study of alkali and acetylation treatments on sisal fibers compatibility with low-amine/epoxy stoichiometric ratio

Results in Engineering
Sisal fibers are one of the most commercially utilized as reinforcing agents in composite materials. However, sisal fibers are very hydrophilic because they contain many hydroxyl groups, so their interfacial bonding is low when mixed with a non-polar ...
