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 ...
