Tensile properties of individual fibers.

INI treatment conditions	Modulus (GPa)	LSD Test	Strength (MPa)	LSD test
Untreated fiber	13.5	A	810	A
100°C, 1 : 2	14.7	A	1001	B
160°C, 1 : 2	14.6	A	1032	B

1 : 2 means the molar ratio of Na₂CO₃ to CaCl₂. Average of 30 samples. Means with the different letter are significantly different at 𝛼=0.05.
