Characterization of New Natural Cellulosic Fiber from Acacia leucophloea Bark (2015, background): “The surface morphology of the ALFs shown in Figure 6 is similar to that of other natural fibers; it consists of several elementary fibers such as fibrils or fiber-cells joined together in the direction of their length by pectin and other non-cellulosic compounds([5]) to form a bundle of a certain di”
A review on synthesis and characterization of commercially available natural fibers: Part II (2019, background): “%) occurs at 310–390°C, which corresponds to the degradation of a-cellulose present in the fiber (Igor et al. 2010).”
High performance natural rubber composites with a hierarchical reinforcement structure of carbon nanotube modified natural fibers (2014, background): “the relatively poor thermal stability and especially the poor compatibility and interfacial bond strength with the hydrophobic polymer matrices, due to their basically hydrophilic nature [ 6 , 7 ].”
