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 ...

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,

The performance of curauá fiber as sorbent of the diesel and biodiesel oils
Acta Scientiarum: Technology, 2016 Curauá (Ananas erictifolius) fiber was investigated as sorbent of diesel and biodiesel oils, and compared with peat, which is used commercially. The sorption tests were carried out for the unclassified fiber and within the granulometry ranges £ 180; 180 ...
