The aim of this paper is to study the effect of bis [3(triethoxysilyl) propyl] tetrasulfide (Si69) and 3-Glycidoxypropyl trimethoxy silane (GPS) on the properties of unidirectional enset fiber reinforced Polypropylene (PP) composite. For this purpose, enset fiber was weaved into the mat and treated...
