The impact of nanotechnology on textile coloration—A mini‐review

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 1, Page 26-51, February 2026.
Abstract Coloration is a key feature in the textile industry that adds value to the final apparels. This coloration of textile products is done by conventional methods which involve huge amounts of water pollution and wastages of textile colourants. Several approaches have been taken to eliminate these issues by advanced dyeing methods, however, due to

Use of Madhuca longifolia (Mahua) Bark‐Derived Fibers for Enhancing the Performance of Cement Mortar and Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In response to the growing demand for environmentally friendly construction practices, sustainable alternatives to conventional cement, aggregates, and reinforcement fibers (both steel and synthetic) are receiving increased attention. These alternatives often originate from mineral and biological wastes.

Curaua/polypropylene composites: Phase compatibilization and alternative micromechanics modeling

Industrial Crops and Products
Curaua strands, a natural fiber scarcely explored for reinforcement applications, were investigated as the dispersed phase in polypropylene composites. Although maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAPP) is widely used as a compatibilizer in natural ...

Advanced Studies of Plant/Animal Fibre‐Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Review of Mechanical, Thermal and Eco‐Functional Innovations

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The use of natural fibre‐reinforced polymer composites as substitutes for synthetic fibre systems has increased due to interest in sustainable engineering materials. Because they are easily accessible, lightweight and renewable. Natural (plant/animal) fibres frequently exhibit the property of eco‐friendliness, renewability and biodegradability with ...

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.
