The development of novel materials and their application as adsorbents to improve water
quality is one of the branches of materials science that has advanced significantly in the last …

Abaca is a strong competitor among natural fibres for use as the reinforcement of polymer
composites. Due to its high durability, considerable fibre length, flexibility and mechanical …

The present study explores the potential of the alkali-treated Furcraea foetida (FF) fibers as
reinforcement materials in polymeric composites. The fibers were treated and soaked for 3 h …

Sustainable development involves the usage of alternative sustainable materials in order to
sustain the excessive depletion of natural resources. Plant fibers, as a “green” material, are …

According to the sustainable development concept, it is necessary to solve the issue of
replacing fiber from synthetic materials with natural, environmentally friendly, and cheap …

This study focuses on develo** eco-friendly building materials by valorising construction
and demolition waste (CDW) in geopolymer matrices. Various CDW-based materials …

Individual applications of coir and hemp as reinforcement in composites have been
exhaustively studied; however, their hybridization must also be investigated. In this context …

This study explores the synergistic effects of incorporating coir fibers and nanoclay into
epoxy resin composites. Coir, a renewable and cost-effective natural fiber, undergoes an …

In this work, the adhesion behavior of chemically treated banana and coir Colombian fibers
embedded in polylactic acid (PLA) and unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrices was …

In recent years, the utilization of various fibers in cementitious composites gained
remarkable popularity worldwide. Unlike well-known fibers, this study focused on examining …
