Influence of fibre-surface treatment on structural, thermal and mechanical properties of jute fibre and its composite (2009, background): “This may be due to the formation of new hydrogen bonds between certain of the cellulose chains as a result of the removal of hemicelluloses, which normally separates the cellulose chains (Ray et al 2001).”
