Effect of alkali-silica treatments of miscanthus fibres on chemical and micro-morphological modifications

Chemical treatments can remove waxes and sugar components from the surface of bio-fibres, increasing their compatibility with mineral binders. This paper investigates the effects of alkali solutions treatments on miscanthus shives. For 8, 24, and 48 h, fibres were immersed in NaOH solutions at 1.5,...
