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 ...
