Characterization of new cellulose sansevieria ehrenbergii fibers for polymer composites

Characterization of a novel natural cellulose fabric from Manicaria saccifera palm as possible reinforcement of composite materials

“…However, as the spectrum of these fibers is narrow, the identification of new natural fibers/fabrics has turned into an active research challenge in the bio-composites materials community. For example, in the last years fibers/fabrics such as: Arundo donax L. [26]; Cissus quadrangularis [27]; Abelmoschus esculentus [28]; Ferula communis [29]; Cynara cardunculus L. [30]; Althaea officinalis L. [31]; Sansevieria ehrenbergii [32]; Prosopis juliflora [33]; and Polyalthia cerasoides [34], have been suggested as interesting alternatives to reinforce novel composites.…”

A new eco-friendly chemical treatment of natural fibres: Effect of sodium bicarbonate on properties of sisal fibre and its epoxy composites

“…Furthermore, some scientific works analysed the feasibility of using less common natural fibres in the last decade (e.g. okra [3], isora [4], artichoke [5], arundo [6]- [8], ferula [9], althea [10], sansevieria [11] and buriti [12]). …”

Effect of sodium hydroxide on the tensile properties of sugar palm fibre reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane composites

“…Previous work used different sisal fibre loadings of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4% by weight of reinforced polyester. This fibre was treated with different concentrations of NaOH ranging between 4 and 10% at room temperature, and the results reported that 4% of NaOH gained the maximum tensile strength properties [30]. During alkali treatment, the fibre's physical structure changes as a result of the alkali bleaching action, which removes waxy materials and impurities.…”
