The effect of alkali treatment under various conditions on physical properties of kenaf fiber

Alkali treatment was known as one commonly used treatment for natural fiber and obtained a good fiber matrix adhesion, thermal and mechanical properties of composite. This paper reports the effect of alkali treatment conditions on the physical properties of kenaf fiber such as density, weight loss,...
