Pre-treatment by water retting to improve the interfacial bonding strength of sugar palm fibre reinforced epoxy composite

The surface treatment of sugar palm fibres by a water retting process in which the fibres were subjected to prolonged immersion in sea water, pond water and sewage water, and the characterisation of their surface morphology before and after treatment by SEM, is described. The effects of fibre pre-tr...
