Comprehensive characterization of spathe fibres extracted from Cocos nucifera: physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, and acoustic properties for insulation applications

Materials Research Express
In this study, a complete characterization of fibres extracted from the spathe of the Cocos nucifera plant and the properties of spathe fibres are compared with coir fibre extracted from the outer husk of coconut. Coconut spathe fibre is available as bio

Helium Atmospheric‐Pressure Plasma Jet Enables Macromolecule Introduction in Tomato Stem Sections While Maintaining Short‐Term Graft Adhesion

Plasma Processes and Polymers, Volume 23, Issue 1, January 2026.
Helium atmospheric‐pressure plasma jet treatment enables the introduction of exogenous molecules into the cross‐section of plant stems. This method maintains high cell viability and preserves the initial mechanical adhesion of the graft union, providing a valuable tool for molecular delivery at the graft interface without compromising short‐term ...

Miscanthus‐Derived Products for Material Applications: Can They Contribute to Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation?

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
Miscanthus is a promising lignocellulosic biomass for diverse material applications. Biobased products are generally expected to offer greenhouse gas advantages over fossil alternatives, yet assessments vary due to methodological choices. This study systematically reviewed 20 peer‐reviewed studies covering 188 comparisons of miscanthus‐derived and ...

Integrating Load‐Cell Lysimetry and Machine Learning for Prediction of Daily Plant Transpiration

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 410-429, January 2026.
ABSTRACT We conducted research to predict daily transpiration in crops by utilising a combination of machine learning (ML) models combined with extensive transpiration data from gravimetric load cells and ambient sensors. Our aim was to improve the accuracy of transpiration estimates.

Influence of randomly mixed coir fibres and fly ash on stabilization of clayey subgrade

International Journal of Geo-Engineering, 2019
This paper discusses the stabilization of clayey subgrade when mixed with coir fibres (CF) randomly and fly ash (FA). The tests were carried out on the locally available clay soil with different proportions of randomly mixed CF and FA.

Non conventional low-cost cellulose and keratin based biopolymeric sorbents for oil/water separation and spill cleanup - A review [PDF]

, 2017
Oil spills remain an inevitable risk in the exploration, production and transportation of hydrocarbons. Their impacts on the environment are usually severe, hence effective and efficient response strategies are essential to minimise environmental damage.
