The addition of two fillers in polymeric matrices has been shown as an alternative to the production of conventional polymer composites, as it allows to combine the properties of the individual components. Cotton línter ...

The development of new materials to fill the demand of technological advances is a challenge for many researchers around the world. Strategies such as making blends and composites are promising alternatives to produce ...

The effects of alkali treatment on the structural characteristics of cotton linters and sisal cellulose samples have been studied. Mercerization results in a decrease in the indices of crystallinity and the degrees of ...

Cotton linter is currently a by-product of the cotton industry, the fiber being closest to cotton seed. Failure to remove this fiber can cause problems, especially in machines that redo planting seeds in the field and can ...

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo determinar as propriedades físicas, químicas e anatômicas do linter residual de algodão (linter reciclado Blue 40, Blue 30, e Alvejado 30), oriundo da indústria têxtil. Para à ...

Viscose process is the most important method for industrial cellulose dissolution. The degree of substitution (DS) is an important parameter in cellulose derivatives, and it is usually expressed as a gamma number (γ No.). ...

Effluent organic matter (EfOM) is present in different domestic and industrial effluents, and its capacity to hold metallic ions can interfere in the wastewater treatment process. Due to the low quality of water, new ...
