Quantitively Characterizing the Chemical Composition of Tailored Bagasse Fiber and Its Effect on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid-Based Composites.
TL;DR: The silane coupling agent played a more important role than alkali treatment did in improving the interfacial compatibility of PLA/BF composites and changed the structure of BF and their bonding modes.

Optimization of Cellulose Extraction from Jute Fiber by Box-behnken Design
Lizandro Manzato,Mitsuo Lopes Takeno,Wanison André Gil Pessoa-Junior,Luis André Morais Mariúba,John Simonsen +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optimal conditions for cellulose extraction of jute fiber, using the response surface method, were determined. And the results showed a significant variable in the linear and quadratic terms of the temperature and also a significant level of interaction in the effect between the variables of temperature and time.

Biopolyamide hybrid composites for high performance applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance characteristics of wood/short carbon fiber hybrid biopolyamide11 (PA11) composites were investigated. And the results showed that mechanical properties, such as tensile and flexural strength and modulus of the wood fiber composites, were significantly higher than the PA11 and hybridization with carbon fiber further enhanced the performance properties, as well as the thermal resistance of the composites.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
