Durability of Natural Fibers for Geotechnical Engineering
Key Engineering Materials, 2014Fibrous structures based on natural fibers have gained a key space when it is required to perform functions like separation, drainage, filtration, protection and soil reinforcement. The use of natural fibers turns engineering work more sustainable, since they are renewable, biodegradable, energy efficient and non-toxic raw materials.

Teeth: Among Nature's Most Durable Biocomposites
Annual Review of Materials Research, 2010This paper addresses the durability of natural teeth from a materials perspective. Teeth are depicted as smart biocomposites, highly resistant to cumulative deformation and fracture. Favorable morphological features of teeth at both macroscopic and microscopic levels contribute to an innate damage tolerance.

Field Tests of Naturally Durable Species
Forest Products Journal, 2011Six wood species generally accepted to represent a range of natural durability were exposed in American Wood Protection Association (AWPA) E7-09 (ground-contact) and AWPA E25-08 (aboveground) decay tests at field sites located near Maple Ridge, British Columbia, and Petawawa, Ontario, in Canada and Gainesville, Florida, and Hilo, Hawaii, in the United ...

Durability of concretes containing natural pozzolan
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2008In this study, the effects of tuff natural pozzolan on properties of Portland cement were investigated. The durability and mechanical properties of concrete made by these cements were studied. It was found that using the natural pozzolan does not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the Portland cement.

Durability assessment of natural stone
Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology, 2013Durability is one of the most significant aspects of the behaviours of natural stone in the real environment. As it is not a fundamental property, it cannot be measured in situ or by using any simple laboratory test.

Natural Gas Converter Performance and Durability
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1993<div class="htmlview paragraph">Natural gas-fueled vehicles impose unique requirements on exhaust aftertreatment systems. Methane conversion, which is very difficult for conventional automotive catalysts, may be required, depending on future regulatory directions. Three-way converter operating windows for simultaneous conversion of HC, CO, and NO&

What natural variation can teach us about resistance durability
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2020Breeding a crop variety to be resistant to a pathogen usually takes years. This is problematic because pathogens, with short generation times and fluid genomes, adapt quickly to overcome resistance. The triumph of the pathogen is not inevitable, however, as there are numerous examples of durable resistance, particularly in wild plants.
