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 paper presents the potential for an alternative use of structural polymer composite reinforcement, made from natural industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) fibres, in the manufacture of selected products in the shipbuilding industry. This research used fabrics made from unmodified and chemically modified industrial hemp fibres. The primary research focus was on determining the impact strength of the new eco-fri…
The physical and mechanical properties of hemp-fibre-reinforced alkali-activated (AA) mortars under accelerated carbonation were evaluated. Two matrices of different physical and chemical properties, i.e., a low Ca-containing and less dense one with fly ash (FA) and a high Ca-containing and denser one with FA and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS), were reinforced with fibres (10 mm, 0.5 vol% and 1.0 vol%). Unde…
The Achilles heel of thermoplastic natural fibre composites is their limited durability. The environmental degradation of the mechanical properties of hemp and hemp/basalt hybrid-reinforced high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites has been investigated with a special focus on the effects of water ageing and accelerated ageing, including hygrothermal and UV radiation. Modification of the matrix was carried out u…
