Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties

Polymer International, EarlyView.
The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...

Effect of Process Parameters on Grafting Ratio and Thermal Stability of Lactide-Grafted Sisal Fiber

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2017
Polylactide (PLA) was grafted onto sisal fiber (SF) on the basis of the principle of lactide coordinative ring-opening polymerization. The orthogonal test was done to investigate which process parameter affected the grafting ratio mostly.

Biobased composites from glyoxal–phenolic resins and sisal fibers

Bioresource Technology, 2010
Lignocellulosic materials can significantly contribute to the development of biobased composites. In this work, glyoxal-phenolic resins for composites were prepared using glyoxal, which is a dialdehyde obtained from several natural resources. The resins were characterized by (1)H, (13)C, 2D, and (31)P NMR spectroscopies. Resorcinol (10%) was used as an

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1582-1605, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.
