✦ Synopsis

Banana ( Musa paradisica ), Hemp ( Hibiscus cannabinus ), and Agave (Agave jourcroydes ) fibers were treated with Novolac resin for the formation of their composites in the ratio of 50 : 50 (wt/wt). These fibers were also treated with maleic anhydride, and it was found that composites based on treated fibers showed higher absorption of steam (at 100ЊC) up to 12 h; and beyond 18 h, it is less than the untreated fiber composites. However, at ambient temperature, the absorption of water is lesser for composites based on maleic anhydride-treated fiber than for composites based on untreated fibers. The SHORE-D hardness was commonly higher for composites based on maleic-anhydride-treated fibers.

Hemp, banana, and agave fibers were employed for the preparation of wood-polymer composites using polystyrene in the ratio of 50 : 50 w/w. These fibers were esterified with maleic anhydride (MA) and the effect of MA was studied on the absorption of water at ambient temperature and steam in wood-poly
