Interface and bonding mechanisms of plant fibre composites: An overview (2016, background): “surface would lead to a better mechanical interlocking and adhesion with the matrix, both of which are in charge of the interfacial strength of the composite[91,92].”
Chemical composition, crystallinity, and thermal degradation of bleached and unbleached kenaf bast (Hibiscus cannabinus) pulp and nanofibers (2009, background): “The alkaline and bleaching treatments were believed to degrade the amorphous region in the cellulose and increase the degree of crystallinity (Troedec et al. 2008; Ouajai and Shanks 2005).”
Effect of alkali treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties of individual bamboo fibers (2016, background): “It is widely reported that alkali treatment can remove hemicellulose at certain NaOH concentrations (Ariawan et al. 2015; Ouajai and Shanks 2005; Rajulu et al. 2003; Saha et al. 2010; Zuluaga et al. 2009).”
