The effects of treated fibers on tensile strength, young modulus, breaking elongation and impact strength of different composites were determined. The evaluation was done by comparing the mechanical properties of treated composites versus untreated composites. Composites had different fiber loading started from 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%.

Results showed that impact strength and tensile strength of treated composites were enhanced which contributed by the better chemical and mechanical bonding. Only silanated composites enhanced the young modulus while NaOH treated was not. The breaking elongation showed that both treatment possessed higher elongation than untreated one.
