Hence researchers from France conducted a study to improve the properties of cellulose fibres by modifying the cellulose fibres with trialkoxysilane from castor oil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Characteristic studies were carried out for the modified cellulose-castor oil polyurethane composites. Results showed that compared with the crude cellulose fibres, the organosilane treatment reduced the hydrophilicity of the natural fibres and increased the fiber\/matrix compatibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jmaterenvironsci.com\/Document\/vol7\/vol7_N10\/412-JMES-2107-Ganetri.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cellulose fibre reinforced composites are considered suitable alternative to plastic products due to the environmental problems caused by the latter.
