Newest firstThe exploitation into new materials of even the smallest scraps of textiles would contribute to their possible success in sectors such as the automotive industry. In this work, alkaline treatment with low sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentrations was applied to flax and hemp textile residues, aiming to determine the most suitable process conditions as a function of the quality of the treated fibres. Several parameter…
Open article record in new tab ↗This research investigates an effective alkali (NaOH) treatment and fire-retardant coating to produce biocomposites from frost-retted hemp fiber and PLA. The fiber surface treatment with various NaOH concentrations was investigated throughout a range of soaking times. The results show that the extracted non-cellulosic fiber content increases with treatment duration and NaOH concentration, while the fraction of tar…
