摘要
The wettability of hemp fibers, to be applied in fiber-reinforced foams, can be improved with several chemical treatments. In this paper, a innovative treatment with sodium ascorbate was evaluated. Untreated and treated fibers have been characterized using FTIR spectroscopy and TGA measurements. Furthermore, the feasibility of treated fibers was evaluated preparing diatomite-based fiber-reinforced foams. These materials were finally characterized by mechanical compressive strength and thermal properties (thermal conductivity). The fiber-reinforced foams have been produced using a diatomite natural source as a matrix. A suitable amount of Si powder and vegetable surfactant were used as chemical and physical foaming agents while a polysilicate solution was used as reactive crosslinker. The foams highlight low density, around 350 kg/m(3), and low thermal conductivity (0.06 W/mK). (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
