Abstract

The first step in obtaining new composite materials from wood fibres is the surface analysis and treatment of fibres. Chemical treatments carried out on fibres modify their surface, increasing the adhesion between fibres and matrix, respectively increasing the mechanical properties of the composite material. The treatment of wood fibres with alkaline solutions in different concentrations shows that the mechanical properties increase significantly with the concentration of alkaline solution.
