Abstract
In the present work coconut sheath fiber has been used to prepare the composite material with epoxy resin. First the untreated coconut fiber was used to prepare the composite material then the coconut sheath fibers were treated with NAOH to modify the fiber properties. Then the effect of fiber loading and alkali treatment were evaluated and investigated. The mechanical properties of alkali treated fibers found to be higher than the untreated coconut sheath fiber reinforced composite materials. The water absorption properties of alkali treated fibers were found to be higher than the untreated coconut sheath fiber reinforced composite materials.
