Abstract
  In composite production, hydrophilic nature of plant fibres results in poor interfacial adhesion between polar-hydrophilic fibre and non-polar-hydrophobic matrix and dimensional instability of the resulting product. Therefore, there is need to reduce the percentage of water absorption of natural fibres ...  Read More
