Improving the processability and performance of micronized fiber-reinforced gre...
Valente, Bruno F. A.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.; Neto, Carlos Pascoal; Vilela, Carla; Freire, Carmen S. R.Green composites made of bioplastics reinforced with natural fibers have gained considerable attention over recent years. However, the use of natural fibers in composites usually compromise some key properties, such as the impact strength and the processability of the final materials. In the present study, two distinct additives, namely an epoxidized linseed oil (ELO) and a sugar-based surfactant, viz. GlucoPur...
From regenerated wood pulp fibers to cationic cellulose: preparation, character...
Pereira, Bárbara; Matos, Filipe S.; Valente, Bruno F. A.; Weymarn, Niklas Von; Kamppuri, Taina; Freire, Carmen S. R.; Silvestre, Armando J. D.The global demand for sustainable textile fibers is growing and has led to an increasing research interest from both academia and industry to find effective solutions. In this research, regenerated wood pulp fibers were functionalized with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTAC) to produce modified regenerated cellulose with cationic pending groups for improved dye uptake. The resultant cationic cellulose wit...
