Mechanical Properties of Hybrid PVA–Natural Curaua Fiber Composites [PDF]
Materials, 2022 This work presents the experimental study of hybrid cement-based composites with polyvinyl alcohol fiber (PVA) and alkali-treated, short, natural curaua fiber. The objective of this research is to develop composites reinforced with PVA and curaua fiber to present strain-hardening behavior with average crack width control.

Dynamic and Ballistic Performance of Graphene Oxide Functionalized Curaua Fiber-Reinforced Epoxy Nanocomposites [PDF]
Polymers, 2022 Graphene oxide (GO) functionalized curaua fiber (CF) has been shown to improve the mechanical properties and ballistic performance of epoxy matrix (EM) nanocomposites with 30 vol% fiber. However, the possibility of further improvement in the property and performance of nanocomposites with a greater percentage of GO functionalized CF is still a ...

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 ...

Processing and properties of continuous and aligned curaua fibers incorporated polyester composites
Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2013 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.
