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

Enhancement on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of PLA Biocomposites Due to the Addition of Hybrid Sisal Fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2017
Hybrid sisal fibers (HSFs) were made by mixing untreated sisal fibers (USFs) with alkali treated sisal fibers (ASFs), and blended with PLA matrix to make PLA/HSFs composite.

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,

Study of alkali and acetylation treatments on sisal fibers compatibility with low-amine/epoxy stoichiometric ratio

Results in Engineering
Sisal fibers are one of the most commercially utilized as reinforcing agents in composite materials. However, sisal fibers are very hydrophilic because they contain many hydroxyl groups, so their interfacial bonding is low when mixed with a non-polar ...
