Pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) which is rich in cellulose, relatively inexpensive, and abundantly available has the potential for polymer reinforcement. The present study investigated the tensile, flexural, and impact behavior of PALF-reinforced polyester composites as a function of fiber loading, fibe

Cyanoethylation of jute fibers in the form of nonwoven fabric was studied, and these chemically modified fibers were used to make jute-polyester composites. The dynamic mechanical thermal properties of unsaturated polyester resin (cured) and composites of unmodified and chemically modified jute-poly
## Abstract Three kinds of surface treatment, that is, the alkalization (5% w/v NaOH aqueous solution), the deposition of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) from toluene solution (1% w/v DGEBA), and the alkalization combined with the deposition of DGEBA (5% w/v NaOH/1% w/v DGEBA) were applied
## Abstract Banana fiber, one of the world's most important natural fiber obtained from the bast of the plant __Musa Saptentum Linn,__ is available in plenty in Kerala. Without reinforcement, polyester resins are hard and brittle and cannot be used for structural applications. In the present study,
