Effective Utilisation of Halophyte Biomass from Saline Soils for Biorefinering Processes
Molecules, 2021 The salinity of European soil is increasing every year, causing severe economic damage (estimated 1–3 million hectares in the enlarged EU). This study uses the biomass of halophytes—tall fescue (grass) and hemp of the Białobrzeskie variety from saline ...

Chopped basalt fibres: A new perspective in reinforcing poly(lactic acid) to produce injection moulded engineering composites from renewable and natural resources [PDF]
, 2012 This paper focuses on the reinforcing of Poly(lactic acid) with chopped basalt fibres by using silane treated and untreated basalt fibres. Composite materials with 5–10–15–20–30–40 wt% basalt fibre contents were prepared from silane sized basalt fibres

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023 Abstract Natural fibres are highly desirable in composites as they are renewable, biodegradable, and cost-effective. They are also abundant in nature with many different types available all over the world. However, despite their advantages, key challenges such as poor fibre-matrix interfacial bonding and moisture absorption limit their ...

New Polish cultivars of flax resistant to Fusarium wilt
Plant Protection Science, 2002 The breeders consider the lack of resistance of fibrous flax cultivars to Fusarium wilt the main problem in flax cultivation in Poland. The resistance to diseases, lodging, the quality of fiber and adaptation to local climatic conditions are the main ...

Research on New Technology of Fiber Flax Harvesting
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2018 Modifications of combine harvester were introduced. Flax harvesting with the modified combine harvester following the dessication with Roundup did not affect the yield and weight of flax seeds when compared to the conventional pulling harvesting.
