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).”
A review on the characterisation of natural fibres and their composites after alkali treatment and water absorption (2017, background): “8° and Iam is the minimum intensity diffraction peak measured at a diffraction angle of 2θ = 18° [27,37,38].”
Cellulose Chemistry and Properties: Fibers, Nanocelluloses and Advanced Materials (2016, methodology): “The authors found that the reactivity of donor and acceptor decreases with an increase in chain length [38].”
