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

Textiles, 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

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.

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.

Promising curaua fiber-reinforced polyester composite for high-impact ballistic multilayered armor

, 2017
A typical multilayered armor system (MAS) is composed of a harder front ceramic tile, which is able to erode heavy ammunition, such as the 7.62 mm bullet, followed by a second layer to further reduce the impact energy.
