Shrikant Khot,John J. LaScala,Erde Can,Shantaram S. Morye,George I. Williams,Giuseppe R. Palmese,Selim H. Küsefoğlu,Richard P. Wool +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile and flexural properties of natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced composite materials are compared. And the results show that the properties exhibited by both the natural-and synthetic fiber reinforced composites can be combined through the production of hybrid composite materials.

Effect of fibre surface modification on water-sorption characteristics of oil palm fibres
M.S. Sreekala,Sabu Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation on the water sorption characteristics of oil palm fibres has been carried out and various fiber surface modifications such as mercerization, latex coating, gamma irradiation, silane treatment, isocyanate treatment, acetylation and peroxide treatment were tried to reduce the hydrophilicity and thereby decreasing the sorption characteristic.
