In this work the thermal analysis of raw and defatted sisal fiber and its chemical constituents
(cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) was performed by thermogravimetric analysis, and …

In this study, we investigated the use of short sisal fibre with and without polyethylene-graft-
maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA) as a strategy to reinforce cork–polymer composite (CPC) …

In recent years, the interest of scientists and engineers has turned over on utilizing all plant
fibers as effectively and economically as possible to produce good quality fiber-reinforced …

Nos últimos anos, o interesse pelo uso de fibras naturais em materiais compósitos
poliméricos tem aumentado significativamente. Neste trabalho foram investigadas as …
