A review on the properties of natural fibres and its bio-composites: Effect of alkali treatment (2020, methodology): “Reddy et al.(96) performed alkali treatment of borassus fibre with a 5% concentration of NaOH with varying time periods of 1, 4, 8 and 12 h and obtained improvement in tensile strength, tensile modulus and percentage elongation of the fibres with alkali treatment for 8 h.”
Isolation of cellulose nanocrystals from onion skin and their utilization for the preparation of agar-based bio-nanocomposites films (2015, background): “The intense peaks of OSP noted at 1,730 and 1,236 cm correspond to the acetyl ester and carbonyl aldehyde group (C=O) stretching of hemicelluloses and lignin (Reddy et al. 2013).”
Effect of surface modification of bamboo cellulose fibers on mechanical properties of cellulose/epoxy composites (2013, background): “between the cellulose fiber and the matrix is quite high, which leads to the peeling off the fibers, and increasing of the porosity in the composites [24,25].”
Characterization of the Chemical, Physical, and Mechanical Properties of NaOH-treated Natural Cellulosic Fibers from Corn Husks (2018, methodology): “The percentage improvement in the fiber tensile properties after alkali treatment was calculated using Equation 3, (Reddy et al. 2013):”
