Designing bio-composites for structural applications requires a thorough understanding of their mechanical behavior. In this study, we examined the differences in tensile strength and drop-weight impact response between polypropylene reinforced with flax fibers that pinewood short fibers, as both differ composition (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin) length-to-diameter ratio. We found which have higher cellulose content are twice long pine increased stiffness shock resistance bio-composite...
The Cu(i)-catalyzed Huisgen cycloaddition click chemistry reaction is of particular interest in the production paper sheets or natural fiber composites since it leads to formation chemically stable bonds between two fibers. This study focuses on modification kraft pulp We based our approach prior research that treated fibers using chemistry, including propargylation and tosylation reactions. Our focus was enhancing these treatments achieve better final sheet properties. After azidation...
The design of biocomposite structures for outdoor applications should consider the influence ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on mechanical performances to more accurately determine their durability characteristics and prevent significant damage. Ultraviolet radiation causes discoloration, surface roughness, mass loss, degradation properties biocomposites. In this study, flexural strength low-velocity impact response polypropylene reinforced with short flax or pine fibers, which differed respect...
The mechanical characteristics of natural fibre composites (NFCs) are closely linked to fibre-matrix and fibre-fibre interactions. This work investigates the improvement tensile properties a flax/epoxy composite through application click chemistry reaction unidirectional-mat (UDM) reinforcement with modifications made on short mat unidirectional flax phases reinforcement. surface fibres was fibrillated increase accessibility hydroxyl groups for all preliminary reactions final cross-linking,...
Cellulose nanofibers can be produced using a combination of TEMPO, sodium bromide (NaBr) and hypochlorite, mechanical dispersion. Recently, this process has been the subject intensive investigation. However, studies on aspects treatment remain marginal. The main objective study is to evaluate high shear dispersion parameters (e.g., consistency, stator-rotor gap, recirculation rate pH) determine their influences nanocellulose production ultrasound-assisted TEMPO-oxidation Kraft pulp. All...
This study focused on the effect of an extractive treatment and application citric acid properties particleboard made from Salacca frond. In general, extractives have a negative bondability synthetic resin. However, bonding mechanism as biobased adhesive is unclear. Unextracted extracted frond were used raw materials. A hot water was conducted by boiling particles for 2 h. The boards manufactured under following conditions: content 0%; 10%; 20% weight percent (wt%), pressing temperature 180...
Proteinaceous amyloid fibrils are one of the stiffest biopolymers due to their extensive cross-β-sheet quaternary structure, whereas cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) exhibit interesting properties associated with nanoscale size, morphology, large surface area, and biodegradability. Herein, CNFs were supplemented assembled from Curli-specific gene A (CsgA) protein, main component bacterial biofilms. The resulting composites showed superior mechanical properties, up a 7-fold increase compared...
