Development and Characterization of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composite Materials

International Journal of Engineering and Management Sciences, 2019
In most of the developing countries, plastic polypropylene is not fully recycled and converted in-to use after it is once used. Sisal fiber is also widely available in different developing countries like Ethiopia.

Effect of fibre treatments on interfacial shear strength of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites [PDF]

, 2011
Surface treatment of hemp fibres was investigated as a means of improving interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. Fibres were treated with sodium hydroxide, acetic anhydride,

Composite Fiber Based on Sisal Fiber and Calcium Carbonate

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2014
The impregnation of a raw sisal fiber in a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide generated a fiber coated by a remarkable quantity of calcium carbonate and calcium oxide. However, some detachments of the inorganic coating were observed at microscopic level, and interstices in the external walls, filled by the precipitated material, were less visible ...

A Review on Degradation Improvement of Sisal Fiber by Alkali and Pozzolana for Cement Composite Materials

Journal of Natural Fibers
Sisal fiber employment in concrete improves its post-crack strength, but sisal fiber degrades due to moisture and cement mineralization. Many researchers used alkaline and pozzolanic techniques to treat sisal fiber in cement composite materials. However,
