Hemicellulose Films from Curaua Fibers (<i>Ananas erectifolius</i>): Extraction and Thermal and Mechanical Characterization
With growing environmental concerns over synthetic polymers, natural polymeric materials, such as hemicellulose, are considered a good sustainable alternative. Curaua fibers could be an excellent source of biopolymer as they have a relatively high hemicellulose content (15 wt%) and only a small amou...
