A method for the determination of the surface tension γ S of cellulosic fibres has been
developed. A number of fibres are placed on a liquid surface with a surface tension γ L. The …

To tailor the interaction across composite interfaces especially for the development of green
composites, ie composites made completely from renewable materials, information about …

Natural cellulose fibers comprise several non-cellulose compounds and cationic trash which
causes problems during different adsorption processes such as dyeing, printing, final fiber …

The wetting behavior of several flax (cellulose as reference) and polypropylene fibers is
characterized by measuring the wetting rates (penetration velocities) of a series of liquids …

The wetting and moisture up-take behaviour, as well as the electrokinetic properties of
various lignocellulosic fibres were characterised. Knowledge of surface and water uptake …

Fibers with various amounts of carboxylic acid functionalities as determined with FTIR and
conductometric titration were prepared by chemical modification of high bleached kraft pulp …

Average advancing and receding contact angles made against cotton and glass fibers by a
set of probe liquids are determined using the Wilhelmy technique. The dispersive and polar …

Wetting properties and capillary parameters are of first interest for composite and especially
bio-composite manufacturing, interface compatibility between reinforcement and matrix, and …

The wetting properties of wood polysaccharides were characterized by Zisman's empirical
parameter, the critical surface tension of wetting, γc. Cellulose was tested in the form of …

Surface (air− fluid) and interfacial (fluid− fluid) tensions of coexisting isotropic and
anisotropic aqueous suspensions of microcrystalline cellulose have been investigated as a …
