Cement composites reinforced by short curaua fibers [PDF]

open access: yesMatéria (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 ...

Study of the dynamic fragility of polymer nanocomposites: Correlation with damping

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 44, Issue 9, Page 5619-5632, September 2023., 2023
The dynamic fragility and activation energy were calculated and analyzed on the basis of the dynamic mechanical data of a series of polymer nanocomposites. A general trend of a decreasing dynamic fragility with increasing Tg was found. No monotonic effect of the nanofiller loading on the fragility was detected. Abstract In this work, an extensive study

Recent trends in nanocomposite packaging films utilising waste generated biopolymers: Industrial symbiosis and its implication in sustainability

open access: yesIET 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 ...

Experimental Investigation on Effect of Weight Fraction of Sisal Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Sisal‐E‐Glass Hybrid Polymer Composites

open access: yesAdvances 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 ...
