In order to increase the robustness of natural fiber (NFR), hybridization with synthetic fibers
is crucial. The widespread usage of hybrid composites (HCs) in modern structural …

With the increase of crude oil prices, environmental concerns and growing global waste
problems drive the interest on sustainable and eco-friendly products, including natural …

The conventional composites are replacing such well-established structural materials as
steel, iron, and aluminum very fast. The conventional composites are not easily disposable …

In this work, treated and untreated Urena lobata fibers were characterized for use in polymer
composites. The Urena lobata fibers were extracted by the water retting method and treated …

Studies on modeling and optimization of alkali treatment, investigation of experimental
uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of alkali treatment factors of natural fibers are important …

This study aims to determine the properties of waste betel nut husk (BNH) fiber as a potential
alternative for reinforcement in polymer composites. The BNH fibres were subjected to alkali …

Marine angiosperms could inevitably offer considerable potential resources for their fiber,
yet little research has been conducted, especially in Malaysia. Fiber characteristics of five …

The composites based on fiber are commonly used in the high performance building
materials. The composites mostly use petro-chemically derived fibers like polyester and e …

This study evaluates the utilization of rice straw as a reinforcement material in dredged
slurry, focusing on sustainable" waste-to-waste treatment" practices. Unconfined …

Green composites recently have attracted the attention of the researchers due to the
advantages of low cost, renewable resource usage and biodegradability. In general, natural …
