Properties of chemically modified Baobab pod/Sisal Fibre reinforced Low Density Polyethylene Hybrid Composite

ISA M. T^*, Shehu U., Aderemi B. O., Bello T. K., Audu H. I., Shittu U. M., ATTA A. Y

The present study determined the effect of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) treatment on the properties of baobab pod/sisal fibres reinforced low-density polyethylene (LDPE) hybrid composites. Used to treatment the fibres, were different concentrations of NaOH 2 -10 wt% at 2 wt% interval. The hybrid composites were compounded using two roll mills machine...

Assessment of dyeing and some fastness properties of nanocrystalline cellulose extracted from corn cob

BUKHARI M. M^*, SALEH YUSUF MAIGARI, ATTA A. Y, Mohammed K. Yakubu

The dyeing of nanocrystalline (NCC) cellulose powder extracted from corn cob (Saleh, 2015) was carried out using Reactive (Procion Violet H-3R), Disperse (Foron YellowS.E 2GL) and Direct (Solophenyl Yellow) dyes. The percentage exhaustion in each case was calculated to determine which of the dyes exhausted best. The fastness of the dyed NCC powd...
