The adsorption of two commonly used pesticides, diuron and tebuconazole, on an organic substrate (hemp), which was chosen as an analogue for natural substrates often found in agricultural ditches, has been studied using three different contact schemes: 1) contact in a beaker using a modified batch method; 2) contact in an experimental flume, with a dry start substrate; and 3) same as 2) but wit...

This research is aimed at seeing how different stacking sequences and chemical treatments impact the mechanical characteristics of ramie–hemp composites. Hand-lay-up procedures were used to create a blend woven ramie hemp fibers. The was treated with diluted 6% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution compare properties preserved unpreserved hybrid According findings, tensile composites are better in t...

Hemp is finding a strong renewal of interest in the production fine fibers for garment textiles. This resource long-line would come as complement to highly demanded flax fibers, whose large north-west Europe cannot be extended. In Normandy, where complete industrial value chain exists flax, it intended adapt hemp, and this was demonstrated from field scutched with chain. region, early harvestin...

Novel, low density structures which combine biologically-based fibers with clay aerogels are produced in an environmentally benign manner using water as solvent, and no additional processing chemicals. Three different reinforcing fibers, silk, soy silk, and hemp, are evaluated in combination with poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix polymer combined with montmorillonite clay. The mechanical properties of...

Cr (III) removal from aqueous solutions by sorption in a fixed bed column filled with alizarin S impregnated hemp fibers has been studied. The effect of the initial metal ion concentration on the Cr (III) sorption process was investigated and the experimental breakthrough curves were obtained. The breakthrough time and saturation time decreased from 110 min to 80 min and from 300 min to 160 min...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to investigate biodegradation properties PLA (as a bio-based polymer), Hemp, Jute natural bast fibers) and Viscose cellulose regenerates) for agrotextile nonwovens production. For the purpose those investigations, an analysis time samples were performed by soil burial test (ISO 11721 – Textiles Determination resistance cellulose-containing textiles microorganis...

The development of environmental friendly engineering material has received top priority recently. Glass fiber (GF) reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites is one of the most widely used materials in the automotive industry due to its favourable properties. However, the presence of GF has become a major issue in the recycling of GF/PP composites. Considerable efforts have been devoted to find ...

This work presents an improved single fiber pull-out test for fiber/matrix interface characterization. This test has been used to study the Inter-Facial Shear Strength ‘IFSS’ of hemp fibers reinforced polypropylene (PP). For this aim, the fiber diameter has been carefully measured using a tomography inspired method. The fiber section contour can then be approximated by a circle or a polygon. Th...

“Hemp” refers primarily to Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae), although the term has been applied to dozens of species representing at least 22 genera, often prominent fiber crops. For examples, Manila hemp (abaca) is Musa textilis Née, sisal hemp is Agave sisalina Perrine, and sunn hemp is Crotolaria juncea L. Especially confusing is the phrase “Indian hemp,” which has been used both for narcoti...
