Cellulose coating and chelation of antibacterial compounds for the protection of flax yarns against natural soil degradation. [PDF]

, 2017
Natural cellulosic fibres such as flax fibres present interesting mechanical properties as well as biodegradability, and by-products, such as short flax fibres, could be used to produce geotextiles to stabilise soils. Today, geotextiles are often made of

Sewn boats in the Qatar Museums collection, Doha: baggāras and kettuvallams as records of a western Indian Ocean technological tradition

International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 371-405, September 2020., 2020
Abstract Vernacular sewn boats from southern Iran and Kerala, India, in the collection of Qatar Museums are documented and their construction described. The Iranian baggāras are unique preservations of sewn boats from the Arabian‐Persian Gulf, notable for their previously undocumented keel‐garboard sewing technique and extensive use of bitumen coatings.
