Flax and jute fabrics are adopted to reinforce epoxy matrix composites in order to explore the feasibility of replacing wood in percussion instruments. The fabrics are treated with alkaline solutions to improve interfacial adhesion between fibers and epoxy. The composites are fabricated using the ha...
