Using Natural Fibres and Indigenous Knowledge to Develop Alternatives to Plastic Ropes Used in Mussel Aquaculture

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Aquaculture relies extensively on plastic materials, creating a need for lower‐plastic alternatives that retain the functional properties required for production. This study combined mātauranga Māori and science to identify natural plant fibres suitable for manufacturing mussel ropes and to evaluate their ability to catch and retain Greenshell mussel ...

Nanofiber PVA‐Based Membranes Incorporating Functionalized Spanish Broom Derivatives for Sustainable Water Purification

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 6, November 2026.
This study investigates Spanish broom (Spartium junceum) as a renewable source for electrospun composite membranes in sustainable water purification. MCC and biochar were functionalized with eco‐friendly precursors and nanomaterials (i.e., HNT, β‐CDs) to develop hybrid PVA nanofiber composites.

Fiber association and network formation in PLA/lignocellulosic fiber composites. [PDF]

, 2013
PLA composites were prepared in an internal mixer with a lignocellulosic fiber having relatively large aspect ratio. Fiber content changed between 0 and 60 vol% and the homogenized material was compression molded to 1 mm thick plates.

Hydrological Controls of Methane Uptake in Biochar‐Amended Native Vegetation Green Roof Substrates

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2026.
Four years of field measurements showed that biochar amendment consistently enhanced atmospheric methane (CH4) uptake in high‐organic native green roof substrates. Biochar‐mediated changes in substrate moisture and gas exchange strengthened CH4 consumption, demonstrating biochar‐amended green roofs as a nature‐based strategy for enhancing urban CH4 ...
