A tannin-phenolic resin (40 wt% of tannin, characterized by H-1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and C-13 NMR, Fourier transform infrared, thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry) was used to prepare composites ...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of hybridizing glass and curaua fibers on the mechanical properties of their composites. These composites were produced by hot compression molding, with distinct overall ...

In this work, composites based on a phenolic matrix and untreated- and treated sisal fibers were prepared. The treated sisal fibers used were those reacted with NaOH 2% solution and esterified using benzophenonetetracarboxylic ...

Cellulose fibers obtained from the textile industry (lyocell) were investigated as a potential reinforcement for thermoset phenolic matrices, to improve their mechanical properties. Textile cotton fibers were also considered. ...

The objective of the present work is to show the effect of accelerated carbonation on the transition zone of cellulose fibers in cement based composites. Accelerated carbonation increased the content of calcium carbonate ...

The objective of this chapter is to discuss some aspects that affect the interfacial transition zone between lignocellulosic fibers and cement matrix, such as raw materials, processing, and curing methods. A major advantage ...
