Elementary kenaf fibre extraction [PDF]
Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Performance-based and Life-cycle Structural Engineering (PLSE 2015), 2015 Elementary kenaf fibres were separated by the HNO3 treatment and the H2O2/CH3COOH treatment. It wasfound that the HNO3 treatment caused fibre fragmentation causing a decrease in the fibre length and an increasein the fibre defect density. However, the H2O2/CH3COOH treatment was not strong as the HNO3 treatment andthis had much less effect on the fibre ...

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials
Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
