Abstract
Fiber-matrix adhesion was promoted by fiber surface modifications using an alkaline treatment and (3-Glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane coupling agent. The mechanical behaviour of epoxy matrix composite reinforced with woven hemp was studied and mechanical test results show that silane treatment of hemp fibers improves, both tensile and flexural properties of the composites, although no high values are obtained.
