A novel approach to design sustainable fiber reinforced materials from renewable sources: mathematical modeling for the evaluation of the effect of fiber content on biocomposite properties

The paper reports a sustainable, fast and efficient methodology to treat natural hemp fibers (HF) using a mechanochemical approach. Mechanical milling was used to carry out an alkaline attack on HFs for 30 min at ambient temperature. Composites HF/pectins were prepared by varying the fiber weight fr...
