  Abstract

sed from 1.32 e10 廓 to 22.6 e10 廓 after reinforcing with control coconut fiber. But, the fibrillation process reduced the surface resistivity due to uniform distribution of FCF in the epoxy matrix avoiding the formation of air voids. Similar trend was observed for volume resistivity also. The damage force and tensile load increased significantly for the FCF reinforced composites, 61 % and 12 %, respectively, when compared to the RCF reinforced composites. Hence, as an alternative of conventional alkali treatment, fibrillation of coconut fibers could significantly improve the performance of epoxy composites.
