Woven sisal textile fiber-reinforced composites are used to evaluate tensile and fracture toughness properties. All specimens are produced that were repeated water absorption on 5 times in this study. The specimens are immersed in pure water during 9 days at room temperature, and dried in 1 day at 5
## Abstract The chemical modification of oil palm empty fruit bunches (EFB) using nonβcatalysed reaction with acetic, propionic and succinic anhydrides were investigated. Proof of modification was indicated by the increase of weight and was confirmed by Fourierβtransform infrared analysis (FTβIR).
The new standard in preserving the environment has contributed to increase in the interest in the substitution of synthetic fibers by natural fibers. In this context, polymeric composites with biofibers appear to be a good alternative for engineering applications. The aim of this work was to investi
