  Abstract

Improving the mechanical properties and reduced damage of natural fiber-reinforced composites can contribute to their increased use in various fields. In this paper, an experimental study describes the effect of alkaline treatment of two different concentrations of 2 % and 5 % NaOH for one hour on the mechanical performance and damage of luffa fiber composites. Three different composites reinforced with treated and untreated luffa fibers were developed using the resin transfer molding (RTM) process. The specimens were coupled with acoustic emission during tensile tests, to monitor and evaluate damage mechanisms. The tensile test results showed that the alkaline treatment of 5 % improved tensile strength, which reached 81.08
