Hemicellulose Removal in Curaua (Ananas erectifolius) Fibers for Polyester Composites
Introduction: Alkaline treatments extract hemicellulose from the fibers, which can be reused in the manufacture of other materials, and the cellulosic portion can be applied as reinforcement in a composite.

Processing and properties of continuous and aligned curaua fibers incorporated polyester composites
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.

Effect of reinforcement nanoparticles addition on mechanical properties of SBS/curauá fiber composites [PDF]
Composites of styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) matrix with curauá fiber and/or a nanoparticulate mineral (montmorillonite clay - MMT) used as reinforcing agents were prepared by melt-mixing.

Multi-objective optimization of carbon/glass hybrid composites with newly developed resin (NDR) using gray relational analysis [PDF]
Purpose: It is seen that little amount of work on optimization of mechanical properties taking into consideration the combined effect of design variables such as stacking angle, stacking sequence, different resins and thickness of composite laminates has
