Life cycle assessment of sisal fibre – Exploring how local practices can influence environmental performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the environmental performance of sisal fiber production by quantifying the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy use of producing sisal fibre in Tanzania and Brazil using life cycle assessment (LCA), based on region-specific inventory data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural Fibre/PA6 composites with flame retardance properties: Extrusion and characterisation
TL;DR: In this paper, an optimization is carried out for extruding thermoplastics like polyamide 6 (PA6) with natural fiber like flax or kenaf and flame retardant (FR) to meet the requirements such as in electronic industries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure–property relationships of elementary bamboo fibers
Erwan Castanet,Quanxiang Li,Ludovic F. Dumée,Christopher J. Garvey,Rangam Rajkhowa,Jin Zhang,Bernard Rolfe,Kevin Magniez +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the inner microstructural organization of fibers (including the micro-fibrils angle) and physico-chemical factors such as the cellulose content and crystallinity index, on the tensile performance of these fibers is discussed in detail.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Development of natural fiber/engineering plastics composites with flame retardance properties
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study is carried out for optimising the compounding process of the three constituents namely the thermoplastic, the natural fibre and the FR, and a mixture of halogen-free phosphor based intumescent and inorganic hydrates is used as the FR system.

Sisal fibre and its composites: a review of recent developments
Yan Li,Yiu-Wing Mai,Lin Ye +2 more
TL;DR: Sisal fiber is a promising reinforcement for use in composites on account of its low cost, low density, high specific strength and modulus, no health risk, easy availability in some countries and renewability as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of sisal/oil palm hybrid fiber reinforced natural rubber composites
TL;DR: The effects of concentration and modification of fiber surface in sisal/oil palm hybrid fiber reinforced rubber composites have been studied in this paper, where the rubber/fiber interface was improved by the addition of a resorcinol-hexamethylene tetramine bonding system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tensile behavior of high performance natural (sisal) fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, the failure mechanisms of sisal fiber failure were described and discussed in terms of the fiber microstructure as well as defects in the fibers, and the cross-sectional area of the fibers was measured using scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs and image analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of chemical treatment on the properties of hemp, sisal, jute and kapok for composite reinforcement
L. Y. Mwaikambo,Martin P. Ansell +1 more
TL;DR: Two chemical treatments were applied to hemp, sisal, jute and kapok natural fibres to create better fiber-to-resin bonding in natural composite materials as mentioned in this paper, and four characterisation techniques namely XRD, DSC, FT-IR and SEM were used to elucidate the effect of the chemical treatment on the fibres.
