The SFPT were conducted on universal test system (100 Q Standalone) to determine the inteifadal adhesion characteristics of treated betelnut fiber with the polyester matrix. Figure 2 shows the schematic drawing of the pullout test Further detail on the sample preparation and the test procedure were explained in the past publication done by the author (Nirmal and Yousif, 2009). The loading speed was 1 mm/min. It should be mentioned here that the tensile properties of single betelnut fiber were studied for dry and wet fibers. Under wet conditions, the fibers were soaked in tap water (hardness 120-130 mg/1) for 24 hr and then tested.
