Investigation of the Physicochemical, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties of a Single Fiber Extracted From Imperata Cylindrica Plant

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
This study investigated the physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties of Imperata cylindrica (IC) fibers extracted using 2 wt%, 4 wt%, and 6 wt% NaOH. Since 6 wt% NaOH yielded complete removal, fibers obtained from this concentration were furthermore treated with 1% concentration of silane before characterization.

Recent Progress on the Physical, Thermal, and Mechanical Properties of Expanded Polystyrene Waste–Based Composites

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) waste also known as Styrofoam is a common material found in packaging and insulation applications and presents significant environmental challenges due to its nonbiodegradable nature. To address this issue, researchers have explored EPS waste as a potential polymer matrix for developing composite materials.

Poliolefinas reforçadas com fibras vegetais curtas: sisal × curauá Polyolefins reinforced with short vegetal fibers: sisal vs. curauá

Polímeros, 2011
É crescente o interesse nos compósitos poliméricos reforçados com fibras vegetais curtas em substituição às fibras de vidro, pois as fibras naturais provêm de fontes renováveis, não são abrasivas aos equipamentos de processamento, são biodegradáveis, e ...

Valorization of coffee silverskin by cascade extraction of valuable biomolecules: preparation of eco‐friendly composites as the ultimate step

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 524-542, March/April 2024.
Abstract This study presents a multidisciplinary approach for dealing with the environmental problems related to agro‐industrial coffee residues. The exploitation of these residues allows biomolecules to be obtained from renewable sources and enables the preparation of CO2‐neutral biocomposites, with the advantages of reducing fossil depletion ...
