Manufacturing Of Robust Natural Fiber Preforms Utilizing Bacterial Cellulose as Binder [PDF]
, 2014 We present a novel method of manufacturing rigid and robust short natural fiber preforms using a papermaking process. Bacterial cellulose acts simultaneously as the binder for the loose fibers and provides rigidity to the fiber preforms.

Fabrication of sisal fibers/epoxy composites with liquid crystals polymer grafted on sisal fibers
IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2016 In this word, microcrystalline cellulose fibers (MCFs), extracted from sisal fibers, were treated with function end-group hyperbranched liquid crystals (HLP). This work brought some insights into the successful surface modification in epoxy composite with HLP. The HLP-MCFs/epoxy composites are studied systematically.

Experiment Study: Sisal Fiber Reinforced Concrete
, 2023 One of the main fields of research that is becoming more and more relevant is fibre reinforced concrete. Fibers are used to enhance the tensile qualities of concrete without reducing its compressive strength. This study attempted to examine the impact of natural sisal fibre on concrete by partially substituting cement.
