On a constaté la croissance de la demande de fibres naturelles (comme le chanvre) au sein des industries des fibres composites et autres. Par contre, l'équipement de traitement actuel possède une capacité limitée de production de fibres de chanvre d’une pureté suffisamment élevée pour répondre aux besoins de ces industries. Un des principaux obstacles est […]

With increasing interest in the use of natural fibres, quality characterization is needed to provide benchmarks and uniform standards in order to use the abundance of natural fibre products in niche and higher value markets. Natural fibres are inexpensive, biodegradable and leave no waste, and are sustainable and readily available throughout Canada. By utilizing natural […]

Natural fibres are abundant in Canada and have the potential to be used in a wide variety of biocomposites and industrial bioproducts. In order to develop a thriving biomaterials sector, the quality and consistency of this vast resource must be continually assessed and monitored to ensure a quality product can be delivered to end-users on […]
