Natural Fiber‐Reinforced, Natural Resin‐Based Biocomposites: Fabrication, Properties, and Sustainable Applications

open access: yesAdvances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Natural fiber‐reinforced, natural resin (NFR‐NR)–based biocomposites are a sustainable set of materials developed to offset the ecological and environmental consequences resulting from the use of man‐made composites. The biocomposites are reinforced with the vegetable fibers such as jute, flax, hemp, kenaf, and so on with biodegradable polymeric ...

Enhanced Electrical Conductivity and Phenol Adsorption of Activated Carbon Fibers Derived From Palm Fiber Waste for Energy Storage and Environmental Applications

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were synthesized from palm fiber waste using a 15 w/v% KOH solution at varying activation temperatures. Structural characterization by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the amorphous nature of the ACFs.
