The development of carbonaceous materials such as biochar has triggered a hot spot in
materials application. Carbon material derived from biomass could be a vital platform for …

The push for sustainability in the construction sector has demanded the use of increasingly
renewable resources. These natural fibers are biodegradable and non-toxic, and their …

“Biochar”(BC) is the solid residue recovered from the thermal cracking of biomasses in an
oxygen-poor atmosphere. Recently, BC has been increasingly explored as a sustainable …

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) has gained a lot of interest in the last few years for the
process production of hydrochar from the different kinds of biological materials such as …

Highly order-structured carbon-based materials such as graphite, graphene, and carbon
nanotubes hold promise in delivering the next generation of carbon-based advanced …

Natural fibers are an excellent alternative since they are inexpensive and easily accessible
in fibrous form. Several researchers claim that jute fiber (JTF) can be used in concrete to …

Chitosan (CS) is a linear polysaccharide biopolymer, one of the most abundant biowastes in
the environment. This makes chitosan a potential material for a wide range of applications …

Coir is one of the most important natural fibers having significant potentiality in structural
biocomposites production. The long coir fiber (LCF) and short fibrous chips (CFC) were …

Concrete is a commonly used building material; however, it is subject to abrupt failure and
limited energy absorption when yielding. The use of short discrete fibers has displayed a lot …

Biochar produced from various biomass has been widely used in environmental
applications owing to its ability to immobilize or remove the contaminants from soil, water …
