Characterization of Lignocellulosic Curaua Fibres
Curaua fibres have specific mechanical properties similar to inorganic fibres and are an important renewable raw material. Milled curaua fibres, submitted to different treatments, were characterized by mechanical and thermal properties, moisture content, water absorption, surface morphology, FTIR spectroscopy, density and X-ray diffraction.

Analysis of Curaua/Glass Hybrid Interlayer Laminates
This study compares the mechanical properties of curaua, glass and hybrid curaua/glass laminates evaluated experimentally with those obtained theoretically using commercial software for composites. Hybrids laminates were produced varying the fiber layer stacking sequence with the aim of optimizing the combination of vegetable and synthetic fibers ...

Characterization of Curaua Fiber
Abstract This paper describes the chemical, thermal and thermomechanical characterization of curaua fiber. The research of the thermal and thermomechanical properties of natural fibers is of major interest, considering their increasing utilization in several applications, and the large temperature range to which the fibers are submitted.
