“…The properties of natural fiber as composite reinforcement can be increased by pre-treatment. Immersion, chemical, alkali, silane, acetylation, benzolization, peroxide, ultrasonic, microwave, thermal, mechanical, and boiling processes are pre-treatment methods to enhance the property of natural fibers [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Numerous fiber pre-treatment techniques have been investigated to improve the mechanical properties and reinforcement characteristics of water hyacinth fibers in composites.…”
