This article presents the effects of alkali treatment (NaOH) on mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced polyester composites. In the current study composite specimens are prepared using treated and untreated jute fiber and teak wood powder as reinforcement phase and polyester resin as matrix through hand layup technique as per the ASTM D256, ASTM D638 standards. The fabricated specimen was subjected to tensile and impact testing for both treated and untreated. The mechanical properties were analysed through load -displacement curves. The mechanical properties increased with increasing fiber content. Further, the densities of composites were decreased with increasing fiber content. The fracture surface analysis on failure region was studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the nature of failure was reported.
