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

Advances 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 ...

Purification of alpha-cellulose from ex-white oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) baglog using NaOH

Menara Perkebunan, 2019
Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches (OPEFB) are the largest cellulose waste produced by oil palm plantations. Each processing of one ton of Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB) will produce OPEFB as much as 22-23% or 220-230 kg.

Solvent‐Mediated Control of Ethanolysis Pathways: Dimethyl Carbonate–Assisted Conversion of Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches to Ethyl Levulinate

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study investigates dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as a polar aprotic cosolvent in the direct ethanolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) to produce ethyl levulinate. Among several tested cosolvents, DMC significantly improved selectivity and suppressed humin formation, thereby increasing ethyl levulinate yield from 18.69% to 24.49% under ...

Fluidised Bed Gasification and Chemical Exergy Analysis of Pelletised Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunches

Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2017
The National Biomass Strategy was envisioned to foster the efficient valorisation and management of Oil Palm Waste (OPW) in Malaysia. However, the proposed Circular Energy Economy is hampered by poor OPW fuel properties, inefficient conversion techniques,

Impacts of Goat Horn/Ammonium Polyphosphate on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Epoxy Composites

Engineering Reports, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2025.
Ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is mixed with epoxy to fabricate APP/epoxy goat horn nanocomposites. Both mechanical and thermal properties of APP/epoxy goat horn nanocomposites are assessed where the lower percentage of water absorption in composites can be attributed to the improved interfacial bonding between the fibers and matrix.

Xylooligosaccharides from lignocellulosic biomass and their applications as nutraceuticals: a review on their production, purification, and characterization

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 13, Page 7765-7775, October 2024.
Abstract Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are considered a potent source of prebiotics for humans. The global prebiotic market is expanding in size, was valued at USD 6.05 billion in 2021, and is expected to grow at a 14.9% compound annual growth rate between 2022 and 2030, indicating a huge demand.

A two‐stage analysis for the role of fiber size in terms of length distribution on the performance under accelerated weathering tests of oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber‐reinforced vinyl acrylic composites

Polymer Composites, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 2232-2252, 20 February 2024.
The performance under accelerated weathering tests of natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) can be markedly affected by fiber length, to the extent that a sole mean value and standard deviation fail to accurately represent its overall dispersion.

CELLULOSE PHOSPHATE FROM OIL PALM BIOMASS AS POTENTIAL BIOMATERIALS

BioResources, 2011
The present study investigates cellulose phosphate from oil palm biomass (OPEFB-CP) as a potential biomaterial. To this effect, oil palm biomass microcrystalline cellulose (OPEFB-MCC) was phosphorylated using the H3PO4/ P2O5/ Et3PO4/ hexanol method ...

Enhanced Carboxymethyl Cellulose Based on Empty Fruit Bunches in a High Degree of Substitution and Thermal Stability as a Biocomposite Film Backbone

International Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), a water‐soluble cellulose, can be derived from oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFBs). In addition to being highly soluble, it is essential for CMC to exhibit excellent thermal stability when utilized in biocomposites. Reactants in the alkalization and etherification steps to provide high DS of CMC‐based OPEFB have not ...
