Impact of Alkali Treatment on the Internal Microstructure, Surface Topography and the Resulting Mechanical Properties of Single Sisal Fibers

Sisal fibers were extracted and treated in alkali solutions of varying pH concentrations to alter their physical properties for the study. The study explores the effect of the pH concentrations on the internal microstructure using computed tomography, the changes in fibers surface topography using l...
