Abstract
The study examined the properties of bleached Schoutenia ovata Korth Fiber (SF) for prospective application in composite reinforcement. .The characterization of SF was done using FTIR and SEM-EDS techniques to examine the morphology of SF following treatment with NaOH and various concentrations of NaClO. The treatment improved the interaction between the fiber and the composite matrix. As a result, fibers require bleaching before they may be processed further.
