Application of the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) Approach for Prediction of the Kinetic Parameters of Lignocellulosic Fibers

open access: yesTextiles, 2021
Lignocellulosic fibers are widely applied as reinforcement in polymer composites due to their properties. The thermal degradation behavior governs the maximum temperature at which the fiber can be applied without significant mass loss.

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

open access: yesColoration 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

open access: yesAdvances 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.

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

open access: yesInternational 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 ...
