Coupling ESEM and microrobotics


Coupling
ESEM and microrobotics to study the diametral compression and flexion of individual cellulosic fibres

Optimisation of the use of natural fibres in materials

Need to have a better knowledge of the distribution of the hygromechanical properties of fibres

Building of a measurement system to analyse the compression and the bending of fibres in order to determine the kinematics deformation fields

Study of the influence of chemical and mechanical treatments on the fibre properties
