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 D638, ASTM D790 and ASTM D256 standards. The fabricated specimen was subjected to tensile, flexural and impact testing for both treated and untreated. The mechanical properties were analyzed through load -displacement curves. The fracture surface analysis on failure region was studied through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the nature of failure was reported.
