What is it about?
In this study, Balanites aegyptiaca fibers were extracted using Water retting process. then the fibers are treated with different concentrations of alkaline solution. These fibers are reinforced into epoxy resin using Hand lay-up process. The effect of adding Balanites aegyptiaca fibers treated with NaOH to measure mechanical properties such as tensile, bending, and impact, as well as absorption of water and chemical resistance, and SEM morphology was studied.

Why is it important?
To preserve the ecosystem, civilization, and the entire planet, eco-friendly products are necessary. Since there are an endless amount of natural fibers on earth, it is important to confirm which ones are affordable, lightweight, and environmentally friendly.
Perspectives
It was a delight to conduct the research and write the article, and the co-authors' assistance with proofreading was really helpful.
