Studies on lignocellulosic fibers of Brazil. Part II: Morphology and properties of Brazilian coconut fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the chemical, physical, thermal and mechanical properties of curaua fibers, one of the unique fibers of the country, were determined for the first time, where the tensile strength and Young's modulus (YM) decrease while % strain at break remained constant as fiber diameter increases.
