Abstract
null null Coconut fibre has been used as reinforcement in low-density polyethylene. The effect of natural waxy surface layer of the fibre on fibre/matrix interfacial bonding and composite properties has been studied by single fibre pullout test and evaluating the tensile properties of oriented discontinuous fibre composites. The waxy layer provided good fibre–matrix bond such that removal of the layer resulted in drastic decrease of the fibre...
