    Abstract In the current work, the effect of surface modifications of areca sheath fiber by chemical modifications such as alkylation, permanganate treatment, benzoylation and acrylation on the tensile and flexural behavior of areca sheath was studied. Both the surface modified and raw areca sheath fibers are studied in this investigation. It was found that the tensile and flexural strength are greatly influenced by surface modifications. From this study, it is concluded that chemical treatment of areca sheath will result in increasing the tensile strength and will reduce the bending strength. Further, the tensile strength increases with the surface modification and flexural strength decreases. It is concluded that the composites utilizing areca strands are promising elective materials, which can be effectively utilized in automobiles, packaging industry, parcel/panel boards, and so on
