Description
Summary:This paper reports the first attempt of characterizing several physical, mechanical and chemical properties of Quiscal fibres, usually used by the native communities in Chile and on investigations concerning the influence of atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma treatment on various properties such as diameter and linear density, percent of impurity, moisture regain, chemical elements and groups, thermal degradation, surface morphology, among others.
