Discussion

This analysis reveals enhanced mechanical properties in palm fibre composites, suggesting better alternatives to traditional materials.

The maximum tensile strength achieved was 165 MPa in the 30% palm fibre composite, emphasizing its superior performance.
Testing followed ASTM standards to evaluate flexural strength, tensile strength, and interlaminar shear strength of the composites.
The alkaline treatment using sodium hydroxide significantly improved the mechanical properties of the palm fibre composites.
Composite formulations using 30% reinforcement outperformed others in tensile, flexural, and interlaminar shear strength measurements.

Rao et al. (2025) studied this question.
