Abstract Scope |
Natural lignocellulosic fibers composites have been used in different applications, such as in the automotive industries, civil construction, sports equipment and packing. Among the natural lignocellulosic fibers (NLF), the hemp fiber has several applications and is historically used in textile industries, papers and even as medicine. However, only scarce applications of hemp fibers exist as engineering materials due to its highly variable mechanical performance, thermal stability and chemical characteristics. Thus, this work aimed to analyze chemically the graphene oxide (GO) coating on hemp fiber and compare to the NaOH treated and the neat hemp fibers through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, aiming at engineering composites application. The results showed the presence of functional groups that make up most natural fibers and the GO. In addition, the XRD analysis made it possible to calculate the material's crystallinity level. |
