Erratum to: Surface grafting of bamboo fibers with 1,2-epoxy-4-vinylcyclohexane for reinforcing unsaturated polyester

Excerpt

In the original publication of the article, an error occurred in the calculation of crystallinity index (CrI) of bamboo fibers (BFs) based on the Segal method. The CrI values of untreated and 3 wt% EVC-treated BFs were calculated from the following equation: where I ₂₀₀ and I _Amorph are the maximum intensity of the (200) lattice diffraction and the diffraction at 18° of 2θ degree, respectively. The authors had mistakenly defined I _Amorph as the intensity of the peak at 2θ = 16° instead of the minimum intensity at 2θ = 18° contributed by amorphous phase. Another error is that the peak at 2θ = 16° was identified as the (001) reflection in Fig. 4 of the original publication. The peak should be attributed to the merged reflection of (1-10) and (110) patterns.
