Hybrid and nonhybrid laminate composites of sugar palm and glass fibre-reinforced polypropylene: effect of alkali and sodium bicarbonate treatments

In recent years, the hybrid composites of cellulosic and synthetic fibres are tailored to yield materials with reduced cost and weight. Prior to the fabrication of the hybrid composite, in most case, the cellulosic fibre needs surface modification for proper bonding. Therefore, this study investigat...
