Sodium hydroxide treatment on natural fibers for better fiber morphology: A review / Nor Farhana Jasmi, Nur Farahin Yusoff and Jamaludin Kasim

Lignocellulosic fibers seem to be among the best alternative substitution fillers in biocomposite. Among its usages includes as particleboard (PB) and wood polymer composite (WPC) as it is abundantly available and its woody properties offers great usability. However, several problems arise due to...
