Effects of plasma treatment on the sorption properties of coconut fibers
(2017-01-01)
This work compares the effects of plasma treatment on the sorption capacity of untreated and treated coconut fibers. Non-woven mats of coconut fibers were firstly molded by hand, than washed with boiling water, dried, and ...
Permeability of untreated and atmospheric plasma treated coconut fiber mats
(2019-07-19)
Composites manufactured by resin transfer molding depend on appropriate processing parameters to ensure adequate reinforcement-matrix adhesion. Permeability predicts the fluid flow resistance through reinforcement. The ...
Mechanical characterization of the green coconut fiber for application in the footwear industry
(Center for Enhancing Knowledge (CEK)South Shields, 2013-10)
In the tropical countries, the green coconut water consumption generates a great problem with the fruit
final destination. To minimize this problem, it is necessary to find applicability to the residues. In this
sense, ...
Mechanical Properties of Coconut Fibers Reinforced Polyester Composites
(Elsevier B.V., 2011-01-01)
Actually, studies about the utilization of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymeric composites are increasing due to the improvements that fibers can provide to the product. In this work, chemical modification of the ...
Effect of fiber chemical treatment of nonwoven coconut fiber/epoxy composites adhesion obtained by RTM process
(2017-11-01)
In this work untreated and alkali treated nonwoven coconut fiber mats/epoxy resin composites were manufactured using the resin transfer molding process. The alkaline solution removes some impurities present on fibers ...
Seed with and without Partial Tegument Removal and Substrate Affect Germination of Castanea sativa
(Int Soc Horticultural Science, 2009-01-01)
Portuguese chestnut (Castanea sativa) is used for forest products, raw nuts and processed flour, paste, and candy. We studied the influence on germination efficiency of seed with and without partial tegument removal combined ...
