Sisal fibers were subjected to various chemical and physical modifications such as
mercerization, heating at 100° C, permanganate treatment, benzoylation and silanization to …

In this study, effect of fibre surface treatment on tensile, flexural and chemical resistance
properties were studied for sisal fibre reinforced composites. Natural ligno cellulosic sisal …

There has been a growing interest in the utilization of sisal fibres as reinforcement in the
production of polymeric composite materials. Natural fibres have gained recognition as …

Composites of woven sisal in polyester matrix using three different weave
architectures:(plain, twill, and matt) were prepared using a resin transfer molding technique …

Sisal fiber was treated by admicellar polymerization with a poly (methyl methacrylate) film
coating in order to enhance the interfacial adhesion of the fiber/polymer composite for …

Sisal fiber (SF)/polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared at fiber content of 10, 20, and
30wt.% and their mechanical, thermal, morphological, and water absorption properties were …

Resin transfer moulding (RTM) is a novel technology, which bridges the gap between labour
intensive hand lay-up process and capital-intensive compression moulding. The present …

The surface of sisal fibres has been modified by mercerization and silane treatment to
improve adhesion characteristics and moisture resistance. Silane treatment is most effective …

In the present work, a novel physical treatment (PLA coating) of sisal fibres and its influence
on the water absorption, static and dynamic mechanical properties of its composites has …

Natural fibers are increasingly being used as composite reinforcement for both thermoplastic
and thermoset resin, mainly for automotive application. Due to their hydrophilic nature …
