| Description |
In this work, the alkali-treated roselle and sisal fibers
were used as reinforcement fillers for thermosetting
matrix with aim of obtaining better mechanical properties
and machinability of natural fiber hybrid polyester
composite. However, their mechanical properties and
machinability were compared with untreated fiber composites.
The roselle and the sisal fibers were subjected
to a 10% sodium hydroxide solution treatment at different
duration of 2, 4, 6, and 8 h. Besides, the fractured
surfaces of composite specimen were investigated
using scanning electron microscopy. Drill hole profiles
were analyzed using profile projector and machine
vision inspection system. An improvement in strength
and stiffness combined with high toughness was
achieved by treating the fibers using 10% NaOH solution.
