Curaua-Aramid Hybrid Laminated Composites for Impact Applications: Flexural, Charpy Impact and Elastic Properties. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 Curaua, as a leaf-based natural fiber, appears to be a promising component with aramid fabric reinforcement of hybrid composites. This work deals with the investigation of flexural, impact and elastic properties of non-woven curaua–aramid fabric hybrid epoxy composites.

Hemicellulose Films from Curaua Fibers (Ananas erectifolius): Extraction and Thermal and Mechanical Characterization. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 With growing environmental concerns over synthetic polymers, natural polymeric materials, such as hemicellulose, are considered a good sustainable alternative. Curaua fibers could be an excellent source of biopolymer as they have a relatively high hemicellulose content (15 wt%) and only a small amount of lignin (7 wt%).

Dynamic and Ballistic Performance of Graphene Oxide Functionalized Curaua Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Nanocomposites. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 Graphene oxide (GO) functionalized curaua fiber (CF) has been shown to improve the mechanical properties and ballistic performance of epoxy matrix (EM) nanocomposites with 30 vol% fiber. However, the possibility of further improvement in the property and performance of nanocomposites with a greater percentage of GO functionalized CF is still a ...

Cement composites reinforced by short curaua fibers [PDF]
Matéria (Rio de Janeiro), 2010 The development of an eco-friendly material that could reduce CO2 emission and that could aggregate value to a natural fiber, setting man at the countryside and raising the income of populations from poor regions is a challenge. Lignocellulosic fibers are cheap and are a readily available reinforcement, requiring only a low degree of industrialization ...

Study of the dynamic fragility of polymer nanocomposites: Correlation with damping
Polymer Composites, Volume 44, Issue 9, Page 5619-5632, September 2023., 2023 The dynamic fragility and activation energy were calculated and analyzed on the basis of the dynamic mechanical data of a series of polymer nanocomposites. A general trend of a decreasing dynamic fragility with increasing Tg was found. No monotonic effect of the nanofiller loading on the fragility was detected. Abstract In this work, an extensive study

Mechanical and thermal properties of recycled polyethylene/surface treated hemp fiber bio‐composites
Polymer Composites, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 4976-4992, August 2023., 2023 This study presents the production of economic, mechanically, and thermally stable polymer composites via their sustainable and reusable components with an environmentally friendly approach. Abstract Hemp is a good option for polyethylene additives because of its high cellulose and fibrous content. This study aims to modify natural hemp fibers with the

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Various environmental concerns motivate scientists and researchers to look out for unique new materials in science and technology. In order to address the demand for polymeric materials with partial biodegradability, the usage of lignocellulosic fibre in the polymer matrix has risen. Lignocellulosic fibres are a cheap, easily renewable resource that is
