“…These plant include but are not limited to nettle [10], flax [11], hemp [12], and jute [13]. The fibres of the vascular tissues can be located in the culms (bamboo) [14], in the leaves of the monocotyledons (sisal or abaca) [15], in the mesocarp of the fruit (coir) [16] or around the trunks (palm trees) [17].…”

International audienceThis work proposes a multi-scale study of the properties of leaf sheath date palm fibres currently considered as agricultural waste. Firstly, by using optical and electronic microscopy, two main types of bundles were identified which have profoundly different structures. Biochemical analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a low degree of crystallinity but a significant lignin content of about 17% giving the bundles a very cohesive structure as well as a good thermal stability in addition to a singular behaviour in dynamic vapour sorption. An average cell wall stiffness in the order of 16 GPa was highlighted by Atomic Force Microscopy in mechanical mode but tensile tests on bundles have revealed low stiffness and strength but a high elongation. These results combined with the cellular structure of these bundles, provides the potential of these wastes as cost effective and environmentally friendly composite reinforcements for high energy absorption and improved acoustics functions.

“…[4,22] Montmorillonite (MMT), hectorite, saponite, and vermiculite (VMT) are typical clays commonly used to reinforce polymers and fibers. [23] These clay silicates are commercially available at relatively cheap costs. [15] The crystallinity and morphology of semicrystalline polymers are substantially influenced by the introduction of silicate platelets.…”

This study demonstrates the effects of impregnation of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), styrene, and nanoclay on the compositional, mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties of bamboo and its nanocomposites (NCs). Design Expert software was used to optimize the materials and modulus of elasticity as well as the modulus of rupture of the composites. Models were obtained with R2 of 0.9999 and 0.998 for the modulus of elasticity (MOE) and the modulus of rupture (MOR), respectively. The MOE and MOR were found to increase significantly after the formation of NC that indicated improvement of mechanical properties of the bamboo NCs. The polymerization of PVA-co-styrene and dispersion of nanoclay were confirmed by the compositional analysis. The Xray diffraction analysis showed that the degree of crystallinity was slightly improved upon impregnation with PVA-co-styrene, while reduction in the hydroxyl groups was observed using the Fourier transform infrared. The scanning electron microscopy observation showed tightly filled cell cavities of the bamboo matrix. The thermal stability of the formed NCs were found to be slightly less stable than the raw bamboo (RB) with the differential scanning calorimetry showing low glass transition temperature and the thermogravimetric analysis showed lower decomposition temperatures for the NCs compared to RB as a result of plastic property of the styrene.

“…7 and 8, we can observe the high standard deviations from elastic modulus and tensile strength properties, originated by the high heterogeneity in shape and size of the fiber bundles. In addition, these bundles evidence [11,27] high diameter variability, which is a fundamental tensile strength parameter. In addition, the results are very sensitive to variables, such as the processing method, cultivation conditions, type of surface treatment, and percentage of humidity, which determine the final characteristics of this type of natural material [21][22][23][24].…”

In this article, bamboo fibre bundles of "Guadua Angustifolia Kunth" specie were isolated from different locations of the basa zone: upper, middle and lower, through mechanical extraction method. The elastic modulus and the tensile strength were obtained with preliminary tensile tests. Applying the statistical analysis known as ANOVA, it was determined that the mechanical properties are similar in all the extension of the basa zone. From there, fibre bundles were extracted randomly, and a part of the fibre bundles was treated with NaOH (mercerization). Later, tensile tests with different calibration lengths were made for calculate the elastic modulus and the tensile strength of the treated and untreated fibre bundles. Best results belonged to the treated fibre bundles. A good correspondence between the results obtained in this work and the results reported in the literature was concluded.
