Abstract We report on a new process for the spinning of high-performance cellulosic fibers. For first time, cellulose has been dissolved in ionic liquid (IL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium octanoate ([C2C1im][Oc]) via thin film evaporator continuous process. Compared to other ILs, [C2C1im][Oc] shows no signs hydrolysis with water. dope preparation degree polymerization pulp was adjusted by electro...

The Department of Energy Freedom Car Program has shown that domestic vehicle fuel consumption can be dramatically decreased by reducing the overall weight of production vehicles. Carbon fiber composites provide an attractive route to this goal. Significant automotive use of carbon fiber technology will require substantial increases in fiber production coupled with decreases in fiber price to ~$...

This study presents an extensive survey of the many surface treatments that may be given to natural fibers for use in advanced composites. When put into reality, primary disadvantages working through biological are increased level moisture intake possess as well their low dimensional stability. The fundamental purpose applying is optimize bonding strength pressure transferability composites mad...

Banana besides its nutritive value the biomass can be used as resources for natural fibre. North east India and Assam in particular has a vast potential of extraction and value addition of natural fibre, especially from banana. Banana farming generates huge quantities of biomass most of which goes as waste due to non‐availability of suitable technology for its commercial utilization. Banana fib...

Abstract The paper is a review on the extraction processes of cellulosic fibers from flax and hemp. two lignocellulosic crops have long history use by humans for bast among other purposes. utility declined over time with industrial advances changes to economy, but late, an increase focus environmental impact sustainability, there renewed interest in these resources. biomass-based resource requi...

To enhance the mechanical and antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticle impregnated cellulosic fibers, carboxy-cellulose nanocrystals(CCNs) were grafted with chitooligosaccharide(COS), which was used as a stabilizer for nanoparticles (AgNPs). Nanofibrous membranes reinforced fibers(CCN-COS-AgNP) prepared via electrospinning using polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) matrix. The effects CCN-COS-AgNP con...

The performance of cellulose fiber-reinforced cement-based composites (CFCCs) depends not only on the characteristics cement matrix and fibers but also bonding property fibers. durability including various properties such as impermeability, frost resistance, carbonization resistance has an important impact long-term service life structure. presence a large number hydroxyl groups molecular chain...

Lyocell-type fibers often exhibit a high tendency to fibrillate under wet abrasion conditions, and fibrillation must be diminished for better quality of the textile product. In this study, we propose green route cross-linking regenerated cellulose using citric acid (CA) 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic (BTCA) prevent from fibrillation. We investigated influence process conditions additives on fibe...

The bioconversion of environmental wastes into energy is gaining much interest in most developing and developed countries. current study concerned with the proper exploitation some industrial wastes. Cellulosic fiber waste was selected as a raw material for producing bioethanol an alternative source. A combination physical, chemical, enzymatic hydrolysis treatments applied to maximize concentra...

This experimental study aims to explore natural lignocellulosic fibers from Jenfokie and Doby plants. The effect of the fiber (water-retted non-retted) extraction methods on physical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, crystallinity properties were experimentally investigated for collected eastern highlands Ethiopia. chemical composition (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, extractives, etc.) was det...
