The effects of alkali treatment on the mechanical properties, void contents and morphological of Pennisetum purpureum/glass-reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were studied. The composites were produced using the vacuum infusion method. Pennisetum purpureum fibres were treated with 5 and 10% dilute s...
