Effect of alkali treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of individual bamboo fibers (2016, background): “Therefore, when NaOH concentration exceeded 15%, cellulose II was the major component in the fiber (El Oudiani et al. 2011).”
Untreated and alkali treated fibers from Alfa stem: effect of alkali treatment on structural, morphological and thermal features (2015, background): “In fact many studies have shown that the conversion of natural fibers from cellulose I to cellulose II during alkali treatment occurs between 10 and 15 wt% NaOH concentration (Oudiani et al. 2011; Guptaa et al. 2013; Yan et al. 2014).”
Morphology, Structure, and Mechanical Properties of Natural Cellulose Fiber from Mendong Grass (Fimbristylis globulosa) (2014, background): “For raw MFs, the spectrum contains three peaks at 2θ = 16.31◦ (broad), 34.7◦ (broad), and 22.35◦ (sharp), crystallographic planes and corresponds to the (1 0 –1), (0 4 0), and (0 0 2) crystallographic plane reflections, respectively (El Oudiani et al. 2011).”
