Thermochemical and structural characterization of promising carnauba novel leaf fiber (Copernicia prunifera)

Periquiteira (Cochlospermum orinocense): A Promising Amazon Fiber for Application in Composite Materials

“…The peak at 22.78 • , which indicates the crystalline part of the fiber was used to evaluate the MFA and calculated as 7.32 • . This value is similar to MFA values of other lignocellulosic fibers [25,34,38]. According to Junio et al, [38] low MFA values are considered to be favorable indicators of good mechanical properties, providing better fiber strength results.…”

“…Several studies have revealed an increase in the search for NLFs that can be used to reinforce polymeric composites, among which those found in the Amazon region stand out [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]; for instance, curaua [23,29], buriti [19,30], mallow [27,35], carnauba [38] and titica vine [39]. In addition to Amazon fibers, several other NLFs are being studied as possible reinforcements for polymer composites.…”

Characterization of novel natural cellulose fiber from Ficus macrocarpa bark for lightweight structural composite application and its effect on chemical treatment

“…The next endothermic peak was observed in the range of 242.96 °C for the UT-FMB and 254.65 °C for the T-FMB, representing the degradation of amorphous constituents present in the fiber. Similarly, it was noted that the ΔH values of the untreated fiber was 64.3 J/g and was higher when compared to the T-FMB due to the presence of more amorphous constituents [ 42 ]. It was evident that the chemical treatment significantly reduced the amorphous constituents by breaking the hydroxyl groups.…”
