Effect of surface modification on the mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties of waste citrus grandis pectin and Chrysopogon zizanioides fiber-reinforced vinyl ester composites
This study investigates the development of sustainable hybrid biocomposites reinforced with silane-treated Chrysopogon zizanioides root fibers and pomelo peel-derived pectin filler in a vinyl ester matrix. The composites were fabricated using the conventional hand lay-up technique with a constant fiber loading of 40 vo...
