Impact of chemical fiber treatments on physical and tensile properties of Rhectophyllum camerunense fibers/ cassava starch biocomposites
This study investigates the influence of chemical fiber treatments alkaline (NaOH), benzoylation, and acetylation on the physical and tensile properties of RC fiber/ cassava starch biocomposites. RC fibers were extracted using mechanical lamination followed by water retting, then chemically modified to reduce hydroxyl...
