Exploration of Mechanical Properties of Enset–Sisal Hybrid Polymer Composite
Fibers, 2022 Enset and sisal fibers are among the most widely used reinforcement to fabricate natural fiber-based composite materials. Hand lay-up techniques were employed in this study to fabricate enset–sisal (E/S) hybrid fiber composite with volume ratios of 100/0,

Nanocellulose as building block for novel materials [PDF]
, 2012 This thesis describes the fabrication of novel green materials using nanocellulose as the building block. Bacterial cellulose (BC) was used as the nanocellulose predominantly in this work. BC is highly crystalline pure cellulose with an inherent fibre

Studies of Sisal Fiber-Containing Composites
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2008 ABSTRACT The composite materials are of significant importance to the current technological development. Any type of fiber, mechanical properties of which make it exploitable, should be thoroughly studied from the point of view of its potential applications.

Development and Characterization of Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene Composite Materials
International Journal of Engineering and Management Sciences, 2019 In most of the developing countries, plastic polypropylene is not fully recycled and converted in-to use after it is once used. Sisal fiber is also widely available in different developing countries like Ethiopia.

Effect of fibre treatments on interfacial shear strength of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites [PDF]
, 2011 Surface treatment of hemp fibres was investigated as a means of improving interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. Fibres were treated with sodium hydroxide, acetic anhydride,

Composite Fiber Based on Sisal Fiber and Calcium Carbonate
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2014 The impregnation of a raw sisal fiber in a saturated solution of calcium hydroxide generated a fiber coated by a remarkable quantity of calcium carbonate and calcium oxide. However, some detachments of the inorganic coating were observed at microscopic level, and interstices in the external walls, filled by the precipitated material, were less visible ...

Coupling Agent Effect on the Tensile Strength Properties of Sisal Fiber-plastic Composites [PDF]
, 2005 The fiber-plastic composites were made from the compounding of plastic (polypropylene) and sisal (Agave sisalana)fiber with or without addition of coupling agent (Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene).
