Resol–Vegetable Fibers Composites

2022
In this chapter, we provide a detailed review on the reinforcement effect of a broad range of vegetable fibers (VFs) in thermosetting phenolic resin (resol type) based composites. The different varieties of VFs, surface modification techniques, processing conditions and their effects on the overall performances (i.e., the strengths and weaknesses), are

Fermentative characteristics of cereal brans and vegetable fibers

Nutrition and Cancer, 1990
Dietary fiber has been suggested to alter the colonic environment and protect against colorectal diseases, but several recent epidemiological studies indicate that cereal and vegetable fibers may not confer the same benefit. To address this issue, five common cereal brans (barley, corn, oat, rice, and wheat) and five vegetable fiber isolates (broccoli,

Antioxidative activity of animal and vegetable dietary fibers

BioFactors, 2004
AbstractSome dietary fibers originated from insects such as silkworm (Sericin) and others along with constituents of several representative seaweeds such as wakame Undaria pinnatifida; hijiki Hizikia fusifome; and kombu Laminaria japonica, were found to have fairly large reaction rates determined by quenching experiments of emission spectra in the near‐

Dietary fiber constituents of selected fruits and vegetables

Journal of the American Dietetic Association, 1985
This study compared the dietary fiber (DF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin content of selected fruits and vegetables. Apples and peaches (fresh and canned), oranges (fresh), strawberries (fresh, canned, and frozen), carrots, green beans, and potatoes (fresh, fresh cooked, canned, and frozen), and tomatoes ...

Airborne endotoxin in industries processing vegetable fibers

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1982
Airborne lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels were determined at various working sites in industries processing vegetable fibers. On several occasions the amounts assessed with the Limulus assay exceeded those presumed to cause human reactions i.e. about 0.5 microgram/m3. Low values were often found in areas for weaving.

Biodegradable Polyesters Reinforced with Surface‐Modified Vegetable Fibers

Macromolecular Bioscience, 2004
AbstractSummary: Flax fibers are investigated as reinforcing agents for biodegradable polyesters (Bionolle and poly(lactic acid) plasticized with 15 wt.‐% of acetyltributyl citrate, p‐PLLA). The composites are obtained either by high temperature compression molding fiber mats sandwiched between polymer films, or by batch mixing fibers with the molten ...

Properties and modification methods for vegetable fibers for natural fiber composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1996
SYNOPSIS Studies on structure and properties of natural vegetable fibers (NVF) show that composites made of NVF combine good mechanical properties with a low specific mass. The high level of moisture absorption by the fiber, its poor wettability, as well as the insufficient adhesion between untreated fibers and the polymer matrix lead to debonding with

Natural Vegetable Fibers: A Status Report

1986
Natural fibers are a major renewable resource material through the world, specifically in the tropics. For the past 60 years they have faced competition with the man-made fibers. Research on natural fibers was expanded to minimize market losses and this has resulted in modification of natural fibers to give improved properties e.g., wrinkle resistance,
