The Effect of the Drying Temperature on the Moisture Removal and Mechanical Properties of Sisal Fibers

Abstract:

Vegetable fibers have been used in most several applications, as raw material, for manufacturing of different products or directly as reinforcement in composite materials. Green fibers are wet, what requires its drying before their use.In this sense, the aim of this work is to study drying of the sisal fibers in oven. Drying experiments were carried out at different drying condition. It was evaluated the curves of moisture content, drying and heating rates and temperature, as well as the influence of the drying temperature on the mechanical properties of the fibers. It was found that the drying temperature (60 - 105°C) had no significant influence on the tensile mechanical properties, elongation at rupture and modulus of elasticity of the sisal fibers.
