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.
