The effect of oxidation–reduction potential on the degumming of ramie fibers with hydrogen peroxide
Zhaoling Li,Chongwen Yu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of original pH, hydrogen peroxide dosage, oxidation temperature, and reaction time on ORP variations and fiber degumming efficiency were investigated and a central composite design method was used to optimize the fiber process.

Tucum Fiber from Amazon Astrocaryum vulgare Palm Tree: Novel Reinforcement for Polymer Composites
Michelle Souza Oliveira,Fernanda Santos da Luz,Andressa Teixeira Souza,Luana Cristyne da Cruz Demosthenes,Artur Camposo Pereira,Fabio da Costa Garcia Filho,Fábio de Oliveira Braga,André Ben-Hur da Silva Figueiredo,Sergio Neves Monteiro +8 more
TL;DR: Results confirmed for the first time a reinforcement effect of the tucum fiber to polymer composites, and these composites exhibit superior cost effectiveness, taking into account a comparison made with others epoxy polymer Composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of OH bond energy for chemically treated alfa fibers.
TL;DR: It was proven that the free hydroxyl groups are weakened and tend to disappear with fiber treatment, and the same for intermolecular hydrogen bands between cellulosic chains that present a decrease in both intensity and frequency.

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.
