The objective of this study was to determine the effects pre-treated flax fibers on performance fiber-reinforced composites. Lack good interfacial adhesion and poor resistance moisture absorption make use natural composites less attractive. In order improve fiber/matrix properties, were subjected chemical treatments, namely, mercerization, silane treatment, benzoylation, peroxide treatment. Selective removal non-cellulosic compounds constitutes main treatments Flax derived from...
Conventional cannabis drying is time-consuming and energy intensive. A quick dependable of essential to ensure high-quality products meet increasing demands. This study explored a combined microwave infrared (MI) on comparing with control environmental (CE) drying. MI was very efficient short time 16–200 min, high moisture diffusivity 7.95×10−09-8.70×10−08 m2/s, low consumption 390.49–1611.42 kJ. The Page Modified models fitted well describe predict the characteristics cannabis....
The physical quality of alfalfa pellets can be optimized by control the manufacturing process. Process conditions studied were conditioning and pellet temperature, die geometry (length-to-diameter or l/d ratio), hammer mill screen size used in grinding dehydrated hay chops, speed. As temperature increased, durability also increased. Pellet increased with temperature. has a significant effect on durability. ratio directly affects high produced more durable pellets. Differences due to chops...
Flax straw and flax fibers are renewable resource have potential for use in the manufacturing industry. In this study, fiber (including 58% shives by weight) was studied as a material to be added into polyethylene (high density linear low polyethylene) 10% mass processed through extrusion injection molding biocomposites. Five surface modification methods on were carried out scanning electronic micrographs taken analyze characteristic. The biocomposite tensile strength increased moisture...
