  Abstract: This research project is an extensive experimental study on bio-extracted husk fiber polymer composites with a focus on silane surface treatment. Bio-extracted rice husk fibers underwent an alkali-enzymatic hybrid extraction process followed by a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) treatment for improved interfacial adhesion and matrix compatibility. Resin composites with treated and untreated fibers were fabricated with a weight ratio of 10%, 20%, and 30% via hand lay-up methods. A battery of mechanical …
