Compendious Characterization of Chemically Treated Natural Fiber from Pineapple Leaves for Reinforcement in Polymer Composites
TL;DR: In this article, the research is more focused on natural fibers because of their comparable properties of biodegradability, environment friendly, ease of access, lightweight, and low cost.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of the type of lime on the hygric behaviour and bio-receptivity of hemp lime composites used for rendering applications in sustainable new construction and repair works.
TL;DR: Results show that hemp-natural hydraulic lime mixes exhibit the highest transpirability and drying rate, the lowest water absorption by immersion and capillary uptake and the least intense microbial attack and chromatic change.

Thermogravimetric characterization of polyester matrix composites reinforced with eucalyptus fibers
Marcos Vinícius Fonseca Ferreira,Anna Carolina Cerqueira Neves,Caroline Gomes de Oliveira,Felipe Perissé Duarte Lopes,Frederico Muylaert Margem,Carlos Maurício Fontes Vieira,Sergio Neves Monteiro +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the thermogravimetric (TG/DTG) behavior of polyester matrix composites reinforced with relatively higher volume fractions, 30, 40 and 50 vol%, of eucalyptus fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the performance of hemp hurd/polypropylene composites using pectinase pre-treatments
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for using pectinase as a pretreatment to improve the properties of hemp hurd for use in a hemp/polypropylene composite was compared with the addition of a silane coupling agent.

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.
