These fibers were also treated with maleic anhydride, and it was found that composites based on treated fibers showed higher absorption of steam (at 100°C) up to 12 h; and beyond 18 h, it is less than the untreated fiber composites. However, at ambient temperature, the absorption of water is lesser for composites based on maleic anhydride-treated fiber than for composites based on untreated fibers. The SHORE-D hardness was commonly higher for composites based on maleic-anhydride-treated fibers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
