No.Fibre Matrix CompositesApplied treatment methodResultant propertiesRef.
1.Abaca fibre reinforced compositesAlkali treatment with 5 wt.% NaOHIncrease in tensile strength of ~8% and interfacial shear strength of 32%[45]
2.Coir-fibre reinforced polymer composites5wt.% NaOH alkali treatment at 20°C for 30 minutesIncrease in tensile strength and flexural strength of 17.8% and 16.7%, respectively[46]
3.Benzoxazine resin reinforced with alfa fibresAlkali treatment with 5wt.% NaOH for 5 hoursEnhancement of microhardness, flexural strength, and modulus by 29, 37 and 10%, respectively.[47]
4.Oil palm/bagasse fibre reinforced phenolic hybrid composites2% v/v silane treatment and 4% v/v hydrogen peroxideIncrease in tensile strength and flexural strength of ~56 and 120%, respectively[48]
5.Acacia tortilis fibre reinforced natural compositeAlkali treatment with 10 wt.% NaOHEnhancement of tensile strength by 27.5%.[49]
6.Flax/banana/industrial waste tea leaf fibre reinforced hybrid polymer composite5 wt.% NaOH treatment for 12 hours at 27°C.Tensile and flexural strength were enhanced by ~7% and ~5% respectively.[50]
7.Mutingia Calabura bark fibre reinforced green-epoxy composite2-hour alkali treatment with 5% NaOH.2% silane treatment for 2 hours.Crystallinity index enhancement of 41.01% with NaOH and 14.86% by silane treatment.Tensile strength improvement of 37.75% and 28.92% with NaOH and by silane treatment, respectively.Thermal stability improvement of 14.15% and 4.81% for NaOH and silane treatment, respectively[51]
8.Coir and oil palm empty fruit bunchAcetylation with a mixture of toluene, methanol, and acetone (4:1:1 volume ratio) for 5 hours at 100°CIncrease of tensile strength by 8% and 10.8% for coir and oil palm fruit bunch respectively[52]
