Influence of natural fibers on physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examined the influence of natural fibers on the physical, mechanical, and fire‐resistant properties of microconcrete, in comparison with conventional polypropylene fibers used in cement composites. The fibers were characterized by FTIR and TGA/DSC to assess their composition and thermal stability, and FTIR was also performed after ...

Industrial Cannabis sativa (Fiber or Hemp): Hemp made Leather

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews
Industrial Cannabis sativa (hemp or fiber type) is mainly used to produce leather, paper, ropes, food, medicines, cosmetics, hempcrete, leather, bioplastic, biochar, 3D printing housing and textiles. This wide range of applications makes hemp a unique plant that can have positive impacts in many industries including leather production.

Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy in New Zealand: A Review of Coronial Recommendations

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) remains a leading cause of post‐neonatal mortality in Aotearoa New Zealand. We analysed New Zealand coronial findings and recommendations to identify recurring modifiable risks, social determinants of health, and system‐level failures that might inform prevention strategies.

Preparation and characterization of flax, hemp and sisal fiber-derived mesoporous activated carbon adsorbents

Adsorption Science & Technology, 2018
The first aim of this study was to investigate mesoporous activated carbon adsorbents from sisal, hemp, and flax fibers by cost-effective methods. Fibers were impregnated with low concentration (20 wt.%) phosphoric acid.

An evaluation of hemp fiber for furnishing applications

, 2011
By all accounts, petroleum resources currently used as raw material for manufacturing synthetic fibers are rapidly depleting. It is urgent that professionals in the textile industry begin to consider alternative resources for raw material used for fiber.

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Green degumming of industrial hemp fibers: Property enhancement and application in hemp/cotton blended yarns

Industrial Crops and Products
Waste fibers generated during hemp fiber processing (hemp noil) are often disposed of as solid waste due to inadequate treatment technologies, causing resource waste and failing to meet the demand for high-quality fibers in yarn production.

Cannabigerol reverses mechanical allodynia through α2A‐adrenergic modulation of thalamocortical signaling in chemotherapy‐induced neuropathy

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.

Investigating the synergistic impact of freeze-thaw cycles and deicing salts on the properties of cementitious composites incorporating natural fibers and fly ash

Cleaner Engineering and Technology
In cold climates, concrete structures confront durability challenges due to harsh conditions. This study evaluates the effects of incorporating natural fibers, such as hemp and flax fibers (at 1 vol%), and partially replacing cement with fly ash (at 25 ...

Protective effects of extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles derived from Cannabis sativa adventitious roots against UVB‐induced damage in human keratinocytes

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Cannabis sativa root‐derived extracellular vesicle‐like nanoparticles (CA‐NPs) were isolated from adventitious root cultures and subjected to physicochemical characterization. Upon UVB exposure, keratinocytes exhibited increased ROS generation, apoptosis and MAPK activation, leading to oxidative stress and skin damage.
