Abstract Scope |
Curauá fiber (Ananas erectifolius) is a promising candidate to replace synthetic fibers such as glass and aramid fibers. The addition of graphene oxide (GO) on its surfaces proved to be an excellent solution to optimize properties through better compatibility between the (hydrophilic) fiber and the polymeric (hydrophobic) matrix. Due to the amphiphilic characteristics of the GO, the functionalization of these fibers makes them optimize the thermal properties of the fibers, thus allowing them to have more possibilities for novel engineering applications.
