Surface Modification of Areca Fibre by Benzoyl Peroxide and Mechanical Behaviour of Areca-Epoxy Composites

Natural fibre composites are playing great role in current life scenario where the focus is more on replacing synthetic fibre composites with natural fibre composites. In this current study, investigation was done on tensile and flexural behaviour of benzoyl peroxide treated areca sheath fibre epoxy composites. The surface modification of the fibre was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Treatment concentration was the major criteria which effects...
