All-hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) cellulose composites were prepared by a mechanical blending technique followed by hot pressing and water–ethanol regeneration. The alkali treated fibres were ground and sieved to a size ranging from 45 μm to 500 μm. Introduction of fibres into 12% w/v cellulose N-methyl-morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solution was performed with low solution viscosity at 100 °C. The solid mixtures were cut and heat pressed between heated glass and PTFE plates at 85 °C to obtain a flat smooth-surfaced composite sheet of approximately 0.2 mm thickness. The cellulose was regenerated in a 50:50 water–ethanol mixture that subsequently removed NMMO and stabilizer (Irganox 1010, Ciba) from the composite. FTIR and X-ray diffraction measurements were performed to investigate the structural change of cellulose from fibre into partially regenerated composite. Composition and thermal stability of composites were investigated using thermogravimetry. A broadening of the scattering of the main crystalline plane (0 0 2) and a depression of the maximum degradation temperature of fibre were observed. The observations revealed a structural change in the fibres. The mechanical properties of composites depended on size, surface area, crystallinity and the structural swelling of fibres.
