Preparation of Polypropylene/Sisal Fiber Composites and Study on the Fiber Orientation

Advanced Materials Research, 2014
The polypropylene/sisal fiber composites were prepared by twin screw extruder and vane extruder, respectively. The tensile test specimens perpendicular to the extrusion direction and parallel to the extrusion direction were prepared from the extruded composites, respectively.

The effect of alkaline and silane treatments on mechanical properties and breakage of sisal fibers and poly(lactic acid)/sisal fiber composites

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2016
Abstract The main goals of this work were to study the effect of different chemical treatments on sisal fiber bundles tensile properties as well as on tensile properties of composites based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix and sisal fibers. For this purpose, sisal fibers were treated with different chemical treatments.

Investigation on Mechanical Behavior of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polylactic Acid and Sisal/Epoxy Composites

Key Engineering Materials, 2020
. Natural fibers have been found to be an alternative resource for synthetic materials. Natural composites are found to be a one hundred percent bio degradable product. Natural composites are also found to be having a great strength to weight ratio. In this process, hybrid sisal and polylactic bio composites are reinforced together by using the hand ...

The Effect of Chemical Treatment on Sisal Fiber Property

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
The aim of this work was to research the effect of chemical treatment on the structure and property of sisal fiber. The changes of the surface morphology, chemical composition and wettability of different alkali concentration treated sisal fibers were studied using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Optical ...

Some structural aspects of sisal fibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1976
A critical account has been presented of the recent investigation on the chemical modification of lignocellulosic sisal fibers. The molecular structure of the paracrystalline cellulose, which forms the major constituent of the fiber, was studied by x-ray diffraction technique.

Sisal and Henequen as Binder-Twine Fibers

1919
Excerpts: During the year 1917 more than 100,000,000 acres were planted in the, United Stales to the small-grain crops, wheat, oats, barley, rye, and rice. The total production of these crops amounted approximately to two and one-half billions of bushels, the greater part of which was harvested with harvesting machines.

Interfacial Characteristics of Sisal Fiber and Polymeric Matrices

The Journal of Adhesion, 2006
Sisal-fiber-reinforced composites, as a class of eco-composites, have attracted much attention from materials scientists and engineers in recent years. In this article, the effects of fiber surface treatment on fiber tensile strength and fiber-matrix interface characteristics were determined by using tensile and single fiber pullout tests, respectively.

Sisal Fiber Based Polymer Composites and Their Applications

2011
The natural resources of the World are depleting very fast due to the high rate of exploitation and low rate of restoration, leading to an increase in global warming and pollution hazards. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the substitution of synthetic fibers in reinforced plastic composites by natural plant fibers such as jute ...
