N2 - Exploring new lignocellulosic fiber as a reinforcement for polymer composites will extend their use in potential applications. Lipstick palm (LP) fiber is one of the unexplored natural fibers, available in Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand as a landscaping plant. The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of the sodium hydroxide treatment on the mechanical behavior of LP stalk fibers, as a fiber reinforcement. The fiber were treated with 1, 3 and 5 wt% NaOH concentration at 1 and 2 h periods. The treated fiber were tested for tensile strength, interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and morphology. The ideal properties of NaOH were found for fiber treated at 3% NaOH concentration at 1 h soaking time, with increment of 130% and 423% of tensile strength and interfacial shear stress respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed that lumen shrinkage to the NaOH treatment leads to strengthen the fiber, however, at 5 wt% of NaOH at 2 h lead to sodium deposit on the fiber surface hence, weakened the adhesion bonding. The ideal, 3% NaOH for 1 h soaking time, treated fiber is potential as reinforcement in phenolic composites for lightweight applications.
