Fique Fiber Tensile Elastic Modulus Dependence with Diameter Using the Weibull Statistical Analysis

“…Today, in particular, the energy, pollution, cost and health problems of the glass fiber are motivating its replacement by lignocellulosic fibers [2][3][4] . Several review articles have discussed the advantages and drawbacks of the most important lignocellulosic fibers and related polymer composites [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] . Furthermore, specific publications were dedicated to already existing applications of lignocellulosic fiber composites in industrial sectors, from construction panels and doors 18 to automobile parts manufacturing [19][20][21] .…”

Surface modification and micromechanical properties of jute fiber mat reinforced polypropylene composites

“…Important issues such as recyclability and environmental safety need to be addressed when new materials and products are introduced. Lignocellulosic natural fibers such as flax, hemp, sisal and jute are an interesting, environmentally friendly alternative to the use of glass fibers as reinforcement in engineering composites because of the benefits that these fibers provide over conventional reinforcement materials, and the development of natural fiber composites has been a subject of interest for the past few years [1][2][3][4]. These fibers are renewable, nonabrasive, and can be incinerated for energy recovery since they possess a good calorific value and cause little concern in terms of health and safety during handling of fiber products.…”

<b>Improvements in Heat Resistance of Cellulose Fiber by Surface Silylation</b>

“…Ha Si 1, # , Haruhiro Ino 1 , Teruo Kimura 1 , and Akihiro Suzuoka cellulose, such as solubility in inorganic solvents or water, flexibility, fire resistance, and heat resistance [17][18][19]. Some previous reports have shown an improvement in the fire-retardant properties of the material when undergoing a treatment with boric acid and nano silicification [20][21][22].…”
