IET Nanobiotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 127-153, May 2023., 2023 Utilisation of residual biomass could act as green and sustainable approach to lessen the waste burden on Earth and fulfiling the demand for bio‐based goods. Using waste as a raw material through industrial symbiosis should be taken into account as one of the strategies to achieve more economic and environmental value through inter‐firm collaboration ...

Cement composites reinforced by short curaua fibers [PDF]
Matéria (Rio de Janeiro), 2010 The development of an eco-friendly material that could reduce CO2 emission and that could aggregate value to a natural fiber, setting man at the countryside and raising the income of populations from poor regions is a challenge. Lignocellulosic fibers are cheap and are a readily available reinforcement, requiring only a low degree of industrialization ...

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Various environmental concerns motivate scientists and researchers to look out for unique new materials in science and technology. In order to address the demand for polymeric materials with partial biodegradability, the usage of lignocellulosic fibre in the polymer matrix has risen. Lignocellulosic fibres are a cheap, easily renewable resource that is

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Currently, hybridizing natural fibers with synthetic fiber is considered as the best solution for reducing the environmental pollution and the cost of materials. This is due to the lower mechanical properties and high water absorption capacity problems of natural fiber reinforced composites and nonbiodegradability and high‐cost problem of synthetic ...

Green-reinforced Sedimentary Silt with Natural Curaua Fiber
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Lime and cement as traditional binders need to be reduced in soil stabilization to avoid carbon dioxide emissions. Infrastructure development like paved structures, buildings, foundations, and dams involves exhaustive use of natural resources and serious concern for the environment.
