The removal of surface components with alkali that allowed such fibers absorb an even greater volume of water, due to exposure to OH groups belonging to cellulose, making the fibers treated more hydrophilic, mainly with the removal of soluble substances that can lead to an increase in their mechanical strength, as it promotes the removal of the lignin and the increase in the amorphous cellulose portion[17,18]
Summary
The search for new construction technologies in the construction industry that have such as impetus, economy, and speed of execution, are determining factors to produce sustainable building materials, and alternatives using renewable resources[1]. Based on this premise, the raw material must be viable from an ecological point of view and waste disposal. The use of vegetable fibers, with characteristics like, or superior to, mineral and synthetic fibers, becomes viable, to produce sustainable materials, once that come from a renewable source, biodegradable and have high availability, and its cost is considered relatively low. The use of vegetable fibers, with characteristics like or superior to mineral and synthetic fibers, becomes viable to produce sustainable materials and Brazil is one of the largest natural fiber producing countries in the world[2,3]
