Among the various advanced materials, flame-retardant cellulosic textiles are important as they directly relate to human health and hazards. The use of environmentally friendly coatings is currently one major concerns in textile coating industry. In this work, acrylic acid was grafted onto surface cotton using plasma technology enhance attachment acrylate phosphate monomer. Surface analyses, su...

This study characterizes the acoustical behavior of natural fiber composites. Regenerated cellulose fibers (Lyocell), hemp fibers, and flax fibers were embedded in an epoxy-matrix. These unidirectional composites were tested for their logarithmic damping decrement, the resonance frequency, the ultrasound velocity, the dynamic and static modulus of elasticity, and bending strength and density. G...

Besides its growing impact on the Chemical fiber market, the amine Oxide process, employing a melt of N-methyl-morpholine-N-Oxide (NMMNO) as solvent for cellulose, is both a Stimulus to research in cellulose structure formation from Solution and a catalyst in getting People from fundamental and applied research together for joint effort [ 11. It is well known that cellulosic fibers of the ,,Lyo...

The surface concentration of CBD-FITC conjugates, adsorbed on cellulose fibers, was determined by image analysis. The program consists of two scripts, the first dedicated to the elaboration of the calibration curve. The emission of fluorescent light, detected by image analysis, is correlated with the concentration of CBD solutions. This calibration is then used (second script) to determine the ...

Wood-derived cellulosic fibers prepared in different ways were successfully employed to absorb simulated crude oil, demonstrating their possible use as absorbents in the case of oil spills. When dry fibers were used, the highest sorption capacity (six parts of oil per unit mass of fiber) was shown by bleached softwood kraft fibers, compared to hardwood bleached kraft and softwood chemithermomec...
