Mechanical properties of luffa sponge [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2012
The paper presents the first scientific study of the stiffness, strength and energy absorption characteristics of the luffa sponge with a view to using it as an alternative sustainable engineering material for various practical applications. A series of compression tests on luffa sponge columns have been carried out.

Effect of degree of silanization of luffa on the properties of luffa-epoxy composites

Colloids and Surfaces A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects, 2020
Abstract Luffa fibers were silane functionalized using varied concentrations of 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS) in methanol solution to investigate the relationship between the concentration of silanizing agent and the effective degree of silanization of luffa fibers. The aim of the present work was to identify the optimal silane concentration

On the Indifferentiability of Fugue and Luffa

2011
Indifferentiability is currently considered to be an important security notion for a cryptographic hash function to instantiate Random Oracles in different security proofs. In this paper, we prove indifferentiability of Fugue and Luffa, two SHA3 second round candidates. We also analyze the indifferentiability of a modified Luffa mode replacing multiple

Numerical investigation of compressive behaviour of luffa-filled tubes [PDF]

open access: yesComposites Part B: Engineering, 2015
The behaviour of luffa and luffa-filled tubes under uniaxial compression was investigated numerically using finite element analysis (FEA) and analytically by theoretical models. The FEA models were validated against experimental data.

Identification of suitable reference genes for quantitative reverse transcription PCR in Luffa (Luffa cylindrica)

Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants, 2022
Reverse transcription real-time quantitative PCR is widely used to quantify gene expression. Reference genes are usually used as internal controls to measure the target gene expression level. To date, there is no consensus on the use of systematically validated reference genes in different tissues of Luffa. This study evaluated the expression stability

Nutritional and oil characteristics of the seeds of angled Luffa Luffa acutangula

Food Chemistry, 1982
Abstract Luffa seeds (L. acutangula), a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, were investigated for their potential nutritional and oil characteristics. The yield of seeds from the fruit was 33ยท5%, while the kernel was found to possess 50% of the seed weight.
