Biodegradation of Coir and Sisal Applied in the Automotive Industry
(Springer/plenum Publishers, 2011-09-01)
This paper discusses the results of biodegradability tests of natural fibers used by the automotive industry, namely: coir, coir with latex, and sisal. The biodegradation of coir, coir with latex, and of sisal fibers was ...
Characterization of banana, sugarcane bagasse and sponge gourd fibers of Brazil
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
In recent times, increasing attention has been paid to the use of renewable resources particularly of plant origin keeping in view the ecological concerns, renewability and many governments passing laws for the use of such ...
Biodegradation of hemicellulose-cellulose-starch-based bioplastics and microbial polyesters
(2021-01-01)
The volume of discarded solid wastes, especially plastic, which accumulates in large quan-tities in different environments, has substantially increased. Population growth and the consumption pattern of societies associated ...
Mechanisms involved in thermal degradation of lignocellulosic fibers: a survey based on chemical composition
(2020-06-01)
The aim of this study was to determine the Arrhenius parameters and degradation mechanism for each component of biomass, including extractives, water, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. A statistical tool (F-test) was ...
Composites made from lignocellulosics and thermoset polymers
(Gordon Breach Publishing, 2006-09-24)
Composites made from a stryrene/unsaturated polyester thermoset matrix and woodflours from different wood species have been prepared and tested. Pine (Pino Eliottis), eucaliptus (Eucaliptus Saligna) and marmelero (Ruprechia ...
Hybrid Vegetable/Glass Fiber Composites
(2014-11-24)
There is an ever-growing worldwide interest in the use of lignocellulosic fibers as reinforcement in either thermoset (mainly unsaturated polyester) or thermoplastic (mainly polyolefins) composites. However, the wider use ...
Unraveling a lignocellulose-decomposing bacterial consortium from soil associated with dry sugarcane straw by genomic-centered metagenomics
(2021-05-01)
Second-generation biofuel production is in high demand, but lignocellulosic biomass’ complexity impairs its use due to the vast diversity of enzymes necessary to execute the complete saccharification. In nature, lignocellulose ...
Characterization of high density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with banana peel fibers
(2013-05-01)
Lignocellulosic fibers from banana peels were washed with water in order to increase their compatibility with a polymeric matrix, and their properties were compared with unwashed fibers. Washed banana fibers were mixed ...

(2013-05-01)
Lignocellulosic fibers from banana peels were washed with water in order to increase their compatibility with a polymeric matrix, and their properties were compared with unwashed fibers. Washed banana fibers were mixed ...
Effect of chemical treatment of pineapple crown fiber in the production, chemical composition, crystalline structure, thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetic properties of cellulosic materials
(2021-01-01)
Recently, the growing environmental concerns and economic demands have driven the need to develop effective solutions for the treatment of vegetal fibers to be used as renewable source for various industrial applications. ...
