Nowadays, natural fiber has play important role as reinforcements for polymer based- composites.The fiber reinforced polymer have been applied in variety of application due to high tensile strength and modulus. In this work, coir fiber were treated with sodium hydroxide solution (3 wt% and 5 wt%) fo...
