Slaked Lime Solution as a Viable Eco-friendly Treatment to Improve the Tensile Strength of Maize Stem Fibers
In this study, the effect of the environmentally friendly slaked lime solution on the tensile strength of maize stem fibers was investigated and compared with the tensile strength obtained with a 3% wt NaOH and 10% wt NaHCO3 solutions. Maize fibers from dried stems were manually extracted, cleaned,...
