Abstract

The primary objective of this work was to evaluate structural transformations in PA-BA impregnated industrial hemp fibers during thermo-oxidative stabilization at temperatures ranging from 150°C to 250°C, prior to carbonization and activation. Experimental investigations focused on understanding the PA-BA mixture's influence during 30-minute stabilization treatments. An integrated analytical approach combining physical measurements (thickness, linear density, and tensile properties) with advanced characterization methods (DSC, TGA, FTIR, XRD, SEM) was employed to systematically monitor structural evolution.
