Tensile Properties of Curaua-Aramid Hybrid Laminated Composites for Ballistic Helmet. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 A typical ballistic protection helmet for ground military troops has an inside laminate polymer composite reinforced with 19 layers of the aramid, which are neither recyclable or biodegradable and are relatively expensive.

Processing and properties of continuous and aligned curaua fibers incorporated polyester composites
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2013 AbstractThis paper presents systematic studies carried out on the processing and characterization of continuous and aligned curaua fibers-polyester composites. Laminates of these composites with (0 to 40 vol. %) curaua fibers were press-molded at room temperature, cured for 24hours and tested for strength properties.

Weibull analysis for the diameter dependence of the elastic modulus of curaua fibers [PDF]
Matéria (Rio de Janeiro), 2013 The curaua fiber is one of the strongest lignocellulosic fibers and is currently being considered as reinforcement of polymer composites for industrial applications such as automobile interior components and bicycle helmets. The tensile strength of the curaua fiber was found to display an inverse variation with its corresponding equivalent diameter ...

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 ...
