Effect of alkali treatment on the water absorption of hybrid pineapple leaf/ glass fibre reinforced epoxy composites

In this research, the Pineapple Leaf fibre (PALF) have been previously treated with various Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) concentration percentages in the range between 0% to 10% at 1hour Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) solution immersion time and dried in oven at 80°C for 24 hours. The influence of Sodium Hydrox...
