Abstract

The impact of several chemical treatments, including NaOH, polyethyleneimine, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, Ca(OH)2 and CaCl2 onto the composition and structure of hemp fibres was evaluated using differential thermal analysis, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Comparison of results obtained with the last two techniques allows us to quantify the impact of the chemical treatments onto the crystallinity index.
