Flexural Strengthening of RC Beams with Sisal Fiber Composites and Sisal Fiber Rods
Materials Science Forum, 2016The present study is conducted to examine the effectiveness of sisal fiber in flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. In order to obtain this objective, two different strengthening configurations are adopted (use of sisal fiber composites and use of sisal fiber rods). A total of five flexural strengthened reinforced concrete beams are

Polymer Composites, 2017
Sisal fiber (SF) and waterborne polyurethane adhesive were used to prepare SF‐based sound absorption material through hot press molding. SF with elastic polyethylene (PE) film interlayers was also fabricated as a new type of sound absorbing composite. The effects of SF treatment methods and PE film on sound absorption coefficient were evaluated.

Effect of Sisal Fiber Surface Treatments on Sisal Fiber Reinforced Polypropylene (PP) Composites
Advanced Materials Research, 2014Abstract: The Interface of sisal fiber which was treated by using alkali, potassium permanganate, atmospheric plasma and silane reinforced polypropylene composites were investigated by single fiber pull-out testes and surface morphology were studied. The results indicated that the morphological changes observed on the sisal fiber surface were obviously

Preparation and characterization of benzylated sisal fibers
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2003AbstractSisal fibers were benzylated under different conditions and were characterized with infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The benzylation reaction was monitored by the mass gain as a function of the reaction time. In the first stage, there was a mass loss associated with the loss of lignin

Review on Modifications of Sisal Fibers for Textile Applications
Tanzania Journal of Engineering and Technology, 2023Properties of sisal fibers such as high coarseness and poor drapability made the fibers less suitable in production of conventional textiles compared to synthetic fibers. The environmental consciousness and depletion of petrochemical resources have attracted researchers on investigating the use of natural fibers in the industrial production of ...

Interfacial Characteristics of Sisal Fiber and Polymeric Matrices
The Journal of Adhesion, 2006Sisal-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.
