Hydrophobic surface functionalization of lignocellulosic jute fabrics by enzymatic grafting of octadecylamine.
Enzymatic grafting of synthetic molecules onto lignins provides a mild and eco-friendly alternative for the functionalization of lignocellulosic materials. In this study, laccase-mediated grafting of octadecylamine (OA) onto lignin-rich jute fabrics was investigated for enhancing the surface hydrophobicity. First, the lignins in jute fabrics were isolated and analyzed in the macromolecular leve...
متن کاملImpact Properties of Jute and Jute Hybrid Reinforced Composites
The use of natural fiber reinforced composites has continuously increased during recent years due to their low density, low cost and environmental friendliness. At current study, a preliminary investigation on the impact properties and morphologies of unsaturated polyester reinforced by jute woven fabric from the used coffee bags with different moisture contents were carried out. Additionally, ...
متن کاملSurface modification and micromechanical properties of jute fiber mat reinforced polypropylene composites
A new treating method using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and Maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MPP) emulsion was introduced to treat jute fiber mat in order to enhance the performance of jute/polypropylene (PP) composite prepared by film stacking method. The surface modifications of jute fiber mat have been found to be very effective in improving the fiber-matrix adhesion. It was shown that tr...
متن کاملEnzymatic Polishing of Jute/Cotton Blended Fabrics
Jute is a strong, stiff, natural fiber. When blended with cotton it makes a sturdy but prickly fabric due to protruding surface jute fibers. Samples of jute-cotton blended fabric were treated with commercial cellulases, xylanases and pectinases individually and in combination at various concentrations in order to smooth and soften the fabric. Enzyme treatment was carried out at 50°C in the pres...
متن کاملHydrophobic photonic crystal fibers.
We propose and demonstrate hydrophobic photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). A chemical surface treatment for making PCFs hydrophobic is introduced. This repels water from the holes of PCFs, so that their optical properties remain unchanged even when they are immersed in water. The combination of a hollow core and a water-repellent inner surface of the hydrophobic PCF provides an ultracompact dissolv...
