Abstract
This work evaluates a new eco-friendly surface treatment method for coir fibres based on sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). The fibres are treated with 10 wt% NaHCO3 solution for different periods of time (24, 96 and 168 h). A 2141 Full Factorial Design is established to investigate the effect of the type of matrix (epoxy and polyester) and treatment time (24, 96 and 168 h) on the mechanical properties of coir fibre composites. X-Ray diffraction (XRD)...
