The mallow fiber (Urena lobata, linn) is demonstrating a great potential as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites. The difficulty in the use of the mallow, as in other natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLFs), is its hydrophilic compatibility with polymeric matrices that are typically hydrophobic. In order to improv…
