Modification and Characterization of Hemp and Sisal Fibers
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2014 This work is to investigate the effectiveness of the surface treatment technique of fiber impregnation in polymer solution in improving compatibility of natural fibers with matrix. Hemp and sisal fibers were treated through polymer coating in comparison to acetylation, alkalization/acetylation, and silanization.

Short-Term Durability of Hemp Fibers
Procedia Engineering, 2017 Abstract Short-term durability tests on hemp-fiber confined concrete cylinders made up of one layer of hemp-fiber bundles were conducted to study their behavior. Compression test was performed after wetting and drying cycles in both water and seawater. Moreover, uniaxial tension test on hemp-fiber bundles was conducted to study the effect of extended

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Sequential blending improved the mechancial properties of PHB/PBAT/cellulose composites as compared to the one‐step batch mixing method. ABSTRACT Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural and biodegradable polymer generated by bacteria. While its applications to potentially replace petroleum‐based plastics are severely limited due to its brittleness and ...
