The Development And Characterization Of Curaua Fibers/ Glass Fibers Polyester Composites
International Journal of Advance in Scientific Research and Engineering (IJASRE), 2020 The curaua fiber is one of the strongest ligno cellulosic and is being currently considered as reinforcement of polymer composite for industrial application. The present work investigates the properties of polyester matrix composites reinforced with continuous curaua fiber and E glass fiber. The developed composites will be tested for tensile, bending,

Ionized‐Air‐Treated Curaua Fibers as Reinforcement for Phenolic Matrices
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2008 AbstractCuraua fibers were treated with ionized air to improve the fiber/phenolic matrix adhesion. The treatment with ionized air did not change the thermal stability of the fibers. The impact strength increased with increase in the fiber treatment time.

Materials prepared from biopolyethylene and curaua fibers: Composites from biomass
Polymer Testing, 2012 AbstractComposites of high-density biopolyethylene (HDBPE) obtained from ethylene derived from sugarcane ethanol and curaua fibers were formed by first mixing in an internal mixer followed by thermopressing. Additionally, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (LHPB), which is usually used as an impact modifier, was mainly used in this study as a ...
