| Abstract | This study aimed to determine the effect of alkaline treatment on Salacca zalacca midrib fiber (ZMF) in terms of fiber density, crystallinity index, thermal stability, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), interfacial share strength (IFSS), water absorption, tensile and flexural strength of composites. The mechanical properties of composites enriched with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as prosthetic sockets materials were also assessed. During the procedures, ZMF was removed from the stem and soaked in 5% sodium hydroxide for 3, 6, 9, and 12 hours. Subsequently, composites materials were molded by mixing with 10% MCC under controlled conditions of 150 rpm rotation speed, temperature 40 ?C, and 30 minutes mixing duration. The results showed that alkaline treatment yielded several favorable outcomes, including improved particle bonding, increased thermal compatibility, and a cleaner fiber surface due to the reduction of hemicellulose, lignin, pectin, and other impurities. In addition, the incorporation of MCC into composites increased their tensile and flexural strength. The water absorption test showed that the treated fiber had a lower absorption rate. |
