Low-density polyethylene was filled with cellulose fibres from sugar cane bagasse obtained from organosolv/supercritical carbon dioxide pulping process. The fibres were also used after chemical modification with octadecanoyl ...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the effect of surface modification of cellulose pulp fibres on the mechanical and microstructure of fibre-cement composites. Surface modification of the cellulose pulps was ...

Hair ingested by licking during cat grooming can eventually coalesce into solid masses in cat gastrointestinal tract. It is believed that dietary fibre might reduce formation of these trichobezoars (hairballs). The effects ...

Cellulose fibres obtained from sugarcane bagasse were submitted to a purification process, which consisted of an acid hydrolysis for elimination of the major part of lignin and hemicellulose. This was followed by a ...

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the effects of the surface properties of unrefined eucalyptus pulp fibres concerning their performance in cement-based composites. The influence of the fibre surface on the ...

In the last decades, cellulose nanoparticles have been widely used to reinforce polymeric materials due to their strength and their wide availability in nature. Cellulose nanoparticles are entirely compatible to reinforce ...

Cellulose fibres from sugarcane bagasse were bleached and modified by zirconium oxychloride in order to improve the mechanical properties of composites with high density polyethylene (HDPE). The mechanical properties of ...
