Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Improvement of water absorption behavior and mechanical properties of woven jute fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites with waste eggshell filler

Polymer International, EarlyView.
This study investigates the influence of waste eggshell powder on the water absorption and mechanical properties of jute fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites. Optimal eggshell filler content (2 wt%) significantly enhances composite performance by reducing water absorption and improving mechanical properties.

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 ...

Concrete with a very high number of load cycles—Identification of stress levels for efficient investigation of fatigue behavior

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fatigue stresses are receiving increasing attention in structural engineering, particularly in the design of increasingly slender structures. However, the mechanical response of concrete—particularly its fatigue behavior under very high numbers of load cycles—is still scarcely understood.

Apparent lack of toxicity of jute (Corchorus olitorius) seed for poultry Queensland Department of Primary [PDF]

, 1984
Following outbreaks of jute seed poisoning in pigs in northern Queensland (Johnson and Toleman 1982) it was discovered that quantities of the contaminated sorghum grain involved had been used for the preparation of poultry rations.
