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

Performance Assessment of Areca Leaf Grids for Soil Reinforcement Applications

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
This paper presents the suitability of geogrids made from areca leaf sheaths, as soil reinforcement. The performance of areca geogrids was evaluated through the model footing tests and the same has been compared with the performance of synthetic polymer ...

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.

New era for the coconut sector. What prospects for research? [PDF]

, 2016
For years and years, the main output of the coconut sector on the international market was copra, crude coconut oil (CNO) and its derivatives. However, since approximately 10 years, we see new products so called “non-traditional” products entering global

The influence of woven geotextiles on ponding time and overland flow

Soil and Water Research, 2016
Nowadays, both synthetic and natural geotextiles are used to mitigate water erosion processes on hillslopes. Jute and coir are most suitable materials for the production of woven geotextiles.

The effectiveness of jute and coir blankets for erosion control in different field and laboratory conditions [PDF]

Solid Earth, 2016
Vegetation cover is found to be an ideal solution to most problems of erosion on steep slopes. Biodegradable geotextiles (GTXs) have been proved to provide sufficient protection against soil loss in the period before vegetation reaches maturity, so ...
