“…In addition, a slight increase in the aspect ratio was observed with an increasing liquid/solid ratio (i.e. from 4 to 6) in the digester reactor and Waldron-Sprout defibrator, and such phenomenon was previously observed for twin-screw extrusion (Table 4) but also in the case of a steaming plus a mechanical defibration treatment (Alila et al, 2013;Flandez et al, 2012;Theng et al, 2015a). Such aspect ratio increase resulted mainly in the slight increase of the mean length of fibers, from 371 μm to 386 μm (i.e.…”

“…In a previous work a comparative investigation on the nanofibrillation behavior of different non-woody plants was carried out, and the extracted NFC were characterized [16]. In the present work, the reinforcing potential of NFC extracted from abaca, sisal, hemp, jute and flax was studied and correlated with the morphology of the NFC.…”

In the present work the reinforcing potential of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) from five different non-woody plants, namely; abaca, sisal, hemp, jute and flax was investigated. Nanocomposite materials were prepared by casting a mixture of NFC suspension and a polymer waterborne latex dispersion, and their mechanical properties in both linear and nonlinear ranges as well as the optical properties of the ensuing films were analyzed. Irrespective of their origin, the incorporation of the NFC within the polymer matrix brings about a huge reinforcing effect above the glass transition. The percolation approach has been shown to give a reasonably accurate prediction of the stiffness over the whole range of volume fraction investigated. The evolution of the magnitude of tan d vs. the NFC content was also analyzed and discussed in term of the effective interfacial thickness. The optical transparency of the nanocomposite film at different NFC content was also studied and compared according to the NFC origin. POLYM. COMPOS.,

“…Microfibrillated cellulose(MFC) were extracted by Alila et al [23] from of several non-woody plants (basts of flax, hemp, jute, leaves of sisal and abaca) under high pressure homogenization process at a pressure lower than 600 bar. The pretreatment of alkaline pulping process and TEMPO-mediated oxidation were assistance for the fibrillation process.…”

Abstract. Jute is the second most important fiber in the world, which is easy to grow on all types of soil from clay to sandy loam. The popularity of jute is attributable to its abundant and cheapness, and jute fiber is mainly used in the manufacture of coarse fabrics like bags, hessian, sacking, canvas and twines. Jute is rich in cellulose, which could be served as promising candidates for nano materials production. Nano cellulose features concerned its high strength and stiffness, renewability, low density, biodegradability, low thermal expansion coefficient and high aspect ratio. Fields of use of nanocellulose include reinforcement of nanocomposite materials, thickening agents, tissue engineering scaffolds, dry-strength additive for paper, filtration media, adsorbents, etc. This review summarizes progress in nanocellulose preparation and also discusses recent developments in nanocomposite fabrication based on jute fibers.
