Weibull analysis for the diameter dependence of the elastic modulus of curaua fibers [PDF]
Matéria (Rio de Janeiro), 2013 The curaua fiber is one of the strongest lignocellulosic fibers and is currently being considered as reinforcement of polymer composites for industrial applications such as automobile interior components and bicycle helmets. The tensile strength of the curaua fiber was found to display an inverse variation with its corresponding equivalent diameter ...

Curaua fiber reinforced high-density polyethylene composites: effect of impact modifier and fiber loading [PDF]
Polímeros, 2016 Abstract 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 produce a vegetal fiber reinforced composite with improved tensile and impact resistance ...

Curaua/polypropylene composites: Phase compatibilization and alternative micromechanics modeling
Industrial Crops and ProductsCuraua strands, a natural fiber scarcely explored for reinforcement applications, were investigated as the dispersed phase in polypropylene composites. Although maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) is widely used as a compatibilizer in natural ...

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 ...
