Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, background): “These studies focus on many different variables, including: comparison between NMT (natural fiber thermoplastic mat) and GMT (glass fiber thermoplastic mat) [19], the influence of fiber/matrix modification and glass fiber hybridization [20], the effect of fiber treatment on thermal and crystallizati”
Effect of surface treatment on thermal stability of the hemp-PLA composites: Correlation of activation energy with thermal degradation (2014, background): “The chemical modification of fibers can be further classified into two groups; chemicals that result in coupling, such as silanes [15,16] and anhydrides [17] and the once that result in mechanical bonding between polymer and fiber, such as sodium hydroxide [1,16,18].”
Mechanical and thermal characterization of epoxy composites reinforced with random and quasi-unidirectional untreated Phormium tenax leaf fibers (2010, background): “0%) [28,33,34], the second one TII (305–370 C) is attributed to the decomposition of the a-cellulose (weight loss 45.”
