Sirisart Ouajai,Robert A. Shanks +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal degradation behavior of hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) fibres under a nitrogen atmosphere was investigated by using thermogravimetry (TGA), and the kinetic activation energy of treated fibres was calculated from TGA data by using a varied heating rate from 2.5 to 30°C/min.
