Abstract

The natural fibers have been received much more attention in research due the better compatibility, high strength, easy availability etc. The work addresses the moisture absorption on surface treated luffa fiber reinforced polyester composite. The fibers are treated with NAOH solution. The luffa fiber reinforced polyester composite were prepared by the compression moulding technique with optimum pressure of 17MPa. The composites were prepared for 50% fiber loading condition. The prepared composites are subjected to moisture absorption test for 1hr,5 hr and 10hrs. The result shows that the treated composite possesses the high hardness than the untreated composites.
