Influence of Alkali Treatment on the Mechanical, Thermal, Water Absorption, and Biodegradation Properties of <i>Cymbopogan citratus</i> Fiber-Reinforced, Thermoplastic Cassava Starch-Palm Wax Composites.

However, when the NaOH concentration was increased by 9 wt.%, the tensile strength and the modulus demonstrated a decreasing trend to 13.24 MPa and 2558.81 MPa, respectively, and this was the lowest tensile strength and modulus produced out of all the NaOH concentrations used.

Nevertheless, comparable observations were previously noted on the treated ensete stem fiber-reinforced polyester that showed an increasing trend of the T g value at 5.0% NaOH concentrations, due to the stronger fiber–matrix bonding.
