Composites of natural rubber with curaua fibers [PDF]
PolímerosThis paper analyzed the thermal and mechanical properties of natural rubber/curaua fiber composite with different weight contents (2.5% to 15%). Alkali treatment was used to modify the surface of curaua fiber and improve interfacial bonding.

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2017 For personal protection against high kinetic energy projectiles, multilayered armor systems (MAS) are usually the best option. They combine synergistically the properties of different materials such as ceramics, composites and metals. In the present work,

Curaua/polypropylene composites: Phase compatibilization and alternative micromechanics modeling
Industrial Crops and ProductsCuraua strands, a natural fiber scarcely explored for reinforcement applications, were investigated as the dispersed phase in polypropylene composites. Although maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) is widely used as a compatibilizer in natural ...

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 ...
