Abstract | Outdoor application of natural fibre reinforced composites is restricted mainly due to its capability to absorb moisture which can lead to physical and mechanical degradation. In this work, bamboo fibre/polyester composites subjected to alkalization at 0, 4, 6, and 8 wt.% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), as well as neat polyester, were immersed in water at room temperature (25ºC) for 60 days and at 80ºC for two days. |
