For the past 15 years, there has been tremendous interest and technological development
concerning biocomposites. Plant fibres can be derived from a multitude of natural agro …

ECC micromechanics relates material microstructures to the composite tensile behavior,
which enables backward component tailoring to achieve targeted tensile performance at the …

The exploration of new natural fibers in the field of polymer composites can contribute to
increase the invention of natural reinforcements and expand their use in possible …

This study aims to assess the morphology and properties of fibers extracted from a wild
natural plant largely available in Algeria known as Juncus effusus L.(JE). The morphology …

Natural fibers are emerging as best alternatives for synthetic materials in selective
applications. These fibers may not have the required properties in its raw form and hence …

Researches on novel natural fibers in polymer-based composites will help promote the
invention of novel reinforcement and expand their possible applications. Herein, in this …

The degradation mechanisms of natural fiber in the alkaline and mineral-rich environment of
cement matrix are investigated. Cement hydration is presented to be a crucial factor in …

Several researchers have shown how sisal fibres possess remarkable tensile properties that
yield them good candidates as reinforcement in biocomposite materials. This work aims to …

In the present work the morphology of natural fibers was correlated with their mechanical
properties via image analysis. Jute, sisal, curaua, coir and piassava fibers were tested under …

The aim of this paper is to study the possibility of using of Arundo donax L. fibers as
reinforcement in polymer composites. The fibers are extracted from the outer part of the stem …
