A review on the properties of natural fibres and its bio-composites: Effect of alkali treatment (2020, background): “From TGA graph, it was noted that the treated fibres presented low moisture content than the untreated fibres owing to the elimination of hemicellulose, lignin and ash components from the surface of the fibres.(95) Reddy et al.”
A review on the characterisation of natural fibres and their composites after alkali treatment and water absorption (2017, background): “for Alfa fibres, there was no transformation of cellulose I into cellulose II [27].”
Effect of alkali treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of individual bamboo fibers (2016, background): “Lattice transformation fromcellulose I to cellulose II have been reported occurring inmany alkali treated plant fibers such as wood (Borysiak and Doczekalska 2005; Ishikura et al. 2010; Nakano and Nakano 2014), ramie (Kobayashi et al. 2011), abaca (Cai et al. 2015), Alfa (Borchani et al. 2015).”
A comprehensive review of techniques for natural fibers as reinforcement in composites: Preparation, processing and characterization. (2019, methodology): “…techniques to investigate the natural fibers surface characteristics such as the nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) analysis (Borchani et al., 2015; Chadlia, 2010; Reddy et al., 2014), inverse gas chromatography(IGC) (Heng et al., 2007), and X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy…”
