Bamboo fiber and its reinforced composites: structure and properties (2012, methodology): “Subsequent neutralizing with H2SO4 removes the linked Na-ions and converts the cellulose to a new crystalline structure, i.e., cellulose-II, which is thermodynamically more stable than cellulose-I (Das and Chakraborty 2006a).”
Effect of alkali treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of individual bamboo fibers (2016, background): “Granular structure was observed, which might be due to the transformation of cellulose I to cellulose II (Das and Chakraborty 2006; Liu and Hu 2008) or the damage of fine fiber structure as the alkali concentration increased more than 10% (Cai et al.”
Multi-scale hybrid biocomposite: Processing and mechanical characterization of bamboo fiber reinforced PLA with microfibrillated cellulose (2009, background): “In order to improve the mechanical properties of bamboo fiber composites, many researchers have sought to tailor the fiber/matrix interfacial properties [7–16], modify the fiber morphology [17,18], and develop biodegradable polymer matrix materials [19].”
Comparative properties of cellulose nano-crystals from native and mercerized cotton fibers (2012, background): “This is because hydrogen bonding breaks down more readily at higher temperatures and the suspension could not avoid the imposed deformation (Deguchi et al. 1999; Kundu and Singh 2008; Chen et al. 2009).”
