Tensile mechanical properties and surface chemical sensitivity of technical fibres from date palm fruit branches (Phoenix dactylifera L.)

Cellulose microcrystal improved interphase of ramie fiber‐reinforced epoxy resin composites

“…To improve interfacial adhesion of natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites, natural fibers are generally modified by chemical modifications such as alkaline , amino silicone oil , and maleic anhydride treatment, and physical methods such as plasma , carbon nanotube coating , and cellulose microcrystal (CMC) powder deposition treatment . CMC possesses high strength and stiffness combined with lower density than 1.5 g/cm 3 , renewability, and good compatibility with resin and natural fiber.…”

Preparation of ZIF‐8/natural Plant Fiber Composites via Biomimetic Mineralization for Highly Efficient Removal of Formaldehyde

“…The double peak observed at 2861 and 2918 cm –1 is attributed to the CH stretching vibration from CH and CH 2 in cellulose and hemicellulose, respectively. The peak at 3318 cm –1 belongs to OH stretching . The FT‐IR spectra of the H‐JE fibers treated with ZIF‐8 or ZIF‐8‐BSA exhibit distinct peaks compared to the nontreated H‐JE fibers.…”

“…Gradual mass loss steps of 57.46 and 48.95% are observed for the ZIF‐8/H‐JE and ZIF‐8‐BSA/H‐JE fiber composite up to 358.5 °C, respectively, which correspond to the removal of guest molecules (these should primarily be H 2 O) from the cavities and unreacted species (e. g., 2‐MeIM) from the nanocrystal surface, and the degradation of cellulose. A board plateau in the TGA curves occurs in the 358.5–633.2 °C range, indicating the high thermal stability of the samples …”

Impact of Surface Treatment of Flax Fibers on Tensile Mechanical Properties Accompanied by A Statistical Study

“…The two-parameter Weibull distribution was applied for the mechanical properties ie the tensile stress and the Young's modulus which showed a large dispersion of the results (Figure. 4), so the Weibull equation is as follows [4,16]:…”

“…Thus, there is a strong interest in cellulosic fibers for the purpose of substituting mineral fillers (glass fibers) and for reinforcing polymer matrices in order to obtain a bio-composite. The most used cellulosic fibers in bio composites are: flax, hemp, kenaf, banana, palm and sisal [1][2][3][4][5][6]. To improve fiber / matrix adhesion ecological treatments are applied.…”
