Newest firstUtilizing forestry and agricultural byproducts like wood and hemp residues advance sustainable additive manufacturing (AM), while reducing material costs. This study investigated the development and characterization of wood-sodium silicate composites incorporating hemp hurd and hemp fibers for AM applications. Formulations varied by wood fiber type (unsifted, 40 mesh, and pellet), sodium silicate concentration (50…
Open article record in new tab ↗As wood is still scarce in some countries, it is necessary to replace wood in the paper industry with other lignocellulosic raw materials, particularly agricultural residues. This study evaluated hemp, flax, and sisal postharvest biomass as alternative nonwoody fibrous feedstocks for pulp and paper production. Pulping was performed using soda and nitrate-alkaline methods under comparable degrees of delignification…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study investigates the use of carbonized hemp fiber (CHF) as a reinforcement for phenol resorcinol formaldehyde (PRF)-based fiber composites. The hemp fiber was carbonized slowly up to 1000 °C under N2 with a yield of 18%. Compression-molded composites were prepared with CHF and then compared to hemp (HF) and wood fiber (WF) at 0 to 50% loading with PRF resin. The flow characteristics of the uncured composite…
Open article record in new tab ↗The fire reaction of various types of flammable lightweight materials is investigated using a cone calorimeter. The influences of parameters such as sample density, sample mass, effective heat of combustion and heat flux on the mass loss after exposition are discussed. Interpretations of the hemp fibers’ tests results lead us to propose a phenomenological model able to calculate the peak of heat release rate (pHRR…
