- •
Untreated and alkali-treated coir were used as reinforcement for epoxy and cement composites.
- •
Alkali treatment improved tensile and flexural modulus and strength of coir/epoxy composite.
- •
Alkali treatment improved compressive and flexural strength of coir/cement composite.
- •
SEM studies confirmed improved fibre/matrix interfaces by alkali treatment.
