ven for a day. They are afterwards tested for resistance, hydrophility (water absorption), heat and alkalinity.
Once treated, the fibres repelled water by up to 33.3% and their resistance to air moisture increased by 32.43%, extending their durability. Additionally, be means of micrographs made with scanning electron microscopes, it was observed that the surface was smoother, leading to a perfect adhesion to the polymer matrix, stated the researcher.
