Characterization of Curaua Fiber
Molecular 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.

Thermal and mechanical characteristics of polyurethane/curaua fiber composites
Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry, 2008 Polyurethane composites reinforced with curaua fiber at 5, 10 and 20% mass/mass proportions were prepared by using the conventional melt-mixing method. The influence of curaua fibers on the thermal behavior and polymer cohesiveness in polyurethane matrix was evaluated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and by differential scanning ...

Recycled polypropylene reinforced with curaua fibers by extrusion
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2009 AbstractCuraua fibers were studied as reinforcing agents for postconsumer polypropylene. The composites were processed by extrusion. The composite properties were investigated by mechanical tests, thermal methods, melt flow index, surface morphology, and water uptake.

Mechanical Behavior of Unidirectional Curaua Fiber and Glass Fiber Composites
Macromolecular Symposia, 2012AbstractSummary: This work intends to promote the use of natural fibers by comparing the behavior of isophthalic polyester matrix composites reinforced with unidirectional curaua fibers with that of unidirectional glass fiber composites. The composites were produced varying the reinforcement angle (0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90°) with the aim of ...

Hybridization effect on the mechanical properties of curaua/glass fiber composites
Composites Part B: Engineering, 2013 The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of hybridizing glass and curaua fibers on the mechanical properties of their composites. These composites were produced by hot compression molding, with distinct overall fiber volume fraction, being either pure curaua fiber, pure glass fiber or hybrid.
