Characterization of Lignocellulosic Curaua Fibres

open access: yesCarbohydrate Polymers, 2009
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

open access: yesJournal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 2014
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

open access: yesMolecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 2000
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.

Enzymatically Treated Curaua Fibers in Poly(Butylene Succinate)-Based Biocomposites

open access: yesJournal of Environmental Chemical Engineering, 2018
The aim of this work is to elucidate the reinforcing potential of enzymatically treated curaua fibers in biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)-based composites. The effect of two different enzymes, i.e.

Sugar Cane Bagasse and Curaua Lignins Oxidized by Chlorine Dioxide and Reacted With Furfuryl Alcohol: Characterization and Stability

open access: yesPolymer Degradation and Stability, 2004
Sugar cane bagasse and curaua acidolysis lignins were used to get a better understanding of the mechanism involved in a new chemical modification of sugar cane bagasse and curaua fibres, consisting in a selective oxidation of lignin by chlorine dioxide ...
