摘要: ABSTRACT: In the present work, mechanical properties of compositesobtained by using areca fibers in epoxy matrix have been investigated. The arecafibers extracted from husk are alkali-treated with potassium hydroxideto get better interfacial bonding between and matrix. test specimens areprepared different values weight ratio fiber to matrix, beingrandomly oriented. cured for periods time tostudy effect curing on properties. results testssuch as water absorption, tension, compression, bending, impact, hardnessconducted herein reported. It is found that themechanical composites tested greatly influenced (i) alkalitreatment fiber, (ii) fiber–matrix, (iii) time. C 2011Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
