Recent Developments in Chemical Modification and Characterization of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Maya Jacob John, +2 more
- 01 Feb 2008 - 
TL;DR: A review of the literature on the various aspects of natural fibers and biocomposites with a particular reference to chemical modifications is presented in this article, where the importance of chemical modifications and the resultant enhancement in the properties of the composites have also been reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extraction of nanocellulose fibrils from lignocellulosic fibres: A novel approach

Eldho Abraham, +6 more
- 15 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a simple process was developed to obtain an aqueous stable colloid suspension of cellulose nano fibrils from various lignocellulosic fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Flammability of Natural Fiber-reinforced Composites and Strategies for Fire Retardancy: A Review

Stephen Anthony Chapple, +1 more
- 05 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the flammability of natural fiber-reinforced composites and some of the more recent strategies used to improve their fire performance is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Environmental friendly method for the extraction of coir fibre and isolation of nanofibre.

Eldho Abraham, +7 more
- 15 Feb 2013 - 
TL;DR: The objective of this work was to develop an environmental friendly method for the effective utilization of coir fibre by adopting steam pre-treatment, which demonstrated that the treatments lead to the gradual removal of lignin and hemicelluloses from the fibres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermal and sound insulation materials from waste wool and recycled polyester fibers and their biodegradation studies

Asis Patnaik, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this article, waste wool fibers were mixed with recycled polyester fibers (RPET) in 50/50 proportions in the form of a two layer mat. And the results showed that the RPET/waste wool mats have adequate moisture resistance at high humidity conditions without affecting the insulation and acoustic properties.
