Abstract Several agro-wastes are rich in natural fibers and finds scope to be used as reinforcement in
composite industry. These natural fibers have some advantages over man-made fibers, including
low cost, light weight, renewable nature, high specific strength and modulus, and availability in
various forms worldwide. In this paper, the effect of surface modification of leaf sheath coconut
fiber (LSF) (an agro-waste) reinforced in phenol formaldehyde matrix composites with silicon
carbide (SiC) nano particles as filler material were investigated for its mechanical characteristics.
The investigation portrays that coconut LSF (CLSF) modified with potassium permanganate
reinforced polymer composite with SiC nano particles… More >
