  • Abstract

    Palmyra( Borassus flabefllier )palm leaf base fibre, a natural fibre extracted from palmyra palm tree   was chosen and chemicals such as sodium hydroxide , benzoylchloride , and potassium permanganate for pre treatment procedures .  Effect of these treatments on the  thermal properties  were determined experimentally.
