International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 21, Issue 2, Page 1154-1169, March/April 2024.Abstract This study introduces an innovative method for efficiently integrating abaca fibers into a potassium‐based geopolymer (KGP) material. Geopolymers often suffer from brittleness, and composite designs have been explored as a solution to enhance their strength and ductility.

Cellulose Nanowhiskers Extracted from Tempo-Oxidized Curaua Fibers
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2019 The objective of this study was to obtain nanowhiskers from bleached and milled curaua fibers. Nanowhiskers were obtained via a TEMPO system. TEM micrographies proved the fibers were obtained. FTIR analysis showed characteristic peaks of the oxidation products for the samples submitted to the treatment, suggesting that the it was effective for ...
