Curaua fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites: effect of impact modifier and fiber loading [PDF]
Polímeros, 2016 Short fibers are used in thermoplastic composites to increase their tensile and flexural resistance; however, it often decreases impact resistance. Composites with short vegetal fibers are not an exception to this behavior. The purpose of this work is to

Hemicellulose Removal in Curaua (Ananas erectifolius) Fibers for Polyester Composites
Nova Scientia, 2018 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.

Study of the dynamic fragility of polymer nanocomposites: Correlation with damping
Polymer Composites, Volume 44, Issue 9, Page 5619-5632, September 2023., 2023 The dynamic fragility and activation energy were calculated and analyzed on the basis of the dynamic mechanical data of a series of polymer nanocomposites. A general trend of a decreasing dynamic fragility with increasing Tg was found. No monotonic effect of the nanofiller loading on the fragility was detected. Abstract In this work, an extensive study

Mechanical and thermal properties of recycled polyethylene/surface treated hemp fiber bio‐composites
Polymer Composites, Volume 44, Issue 8, Page 4976-4992, August 2023., 2023 This study presents the production of economic, mechanically, and thermally stable polymer composites via their sustainable and reusable components with an environmentally friendly approach. Abstract Hemp is a good option for polyethylene additives because of its high cellulose and fibrous content. This study aims to modify natural hemp fibers with the

IET Nanobiotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 127-153, May 2023., 2023 Utilisation of residual biomass could act as green and sustainable approach to lessen the waste burden on Earth and fulfiling the demand for bio‐based goods. Using waste as a raw material through industrial symbiosis should be taken into account as one of the strategies to achieve more economic and environmental value through inter‐firm collaboration ...
