Physical and Chemical Modifications of Plant Fibres for Reinforcement in Cementitious Composites (2019, background): “During the treatment, lignin, wax, and oils that conceal the exterior surface of the fibre cell wall will be partly removed, as well as hemicellulose, and that will trigger the cellulose decomposition and expose short length crystallites [147].”
Characterization of Alkali-Treated and Untreated Natural Fibers from the Stem of Parthenium Hysterophorus (2019, background): “…− 1 for the untreated and alkali-treated specimen, respectively, which was due to the stretching of O-H thus denoting the presence of α -Cellulose (Chandrasekar et al. 2017) the second stretch was found at 2916 cm − 1 and 2923 cm − 1 for the untreated and alkali-treated specimen, respectively,…”
Investigation on the mechanical behavior of areca sheath fibers/jute fibers/glass fabrics reinforced hybrid composite for light weight applications (2018, background): “hydrogen-bonded O–H due to the presence of a-cellulose [20].”
