Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 57, 13 October 2026.
We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Study of the Mechanical Properties of Concrete with Sisal and Polypropylene Fibers

open access: yesKey Engineering Materials, 2015
Fiber concretes have been revolutionizing the market, as well as lower operating costs, structurally act. The total or partial replacement of steel with natural fiber reinforced concrete could be an economical way to provide an alternative method to achieve greater security in concrete structures, as well as a way to use materials that are energy ...

Elements of Structural Masonry Reinforced with Sisal Fibers [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2013
Abstract: There is great interest in the use of natural fibers as reinforcement to obtain new construction materials due to its low cost, high availability and reduced energy consumption for its production. This paper evaluates the incorporation of sisal fibers of 20 mm and 40 mm in length and volume fraction of 0.5% and 1% for concrete masonry ...

The Impact of Agave (Agave Tequilana) Powder on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of PLA Bio‐Based Composites

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study investigated PLA composites containing untreated agave powder (3–20 wt.%) as a proof‐of‐concept baseline for evaluating the effect of filler content on material performance. Low AP contents (3–5 wt.%) largely preserved the main thermal degradation behavior of PLA, whereas higher contents shifted degradation toward lower temperatures ...

INVESTIGATING THE UTILITY OF SISAL IN HOT MIX ASPHALT AS A FIBER

open access: yesMühendislik Bilimleri ve Tasarım Dergisi, 2019
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) is very common as a highway construction material. Although investment costs are lower than other pavements, HMA needs maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) more often because of environmental conditions. The time needed for M&R can be extended by using fibers in the mixture.

Comparative Study on Structure and Thermal Properties of Sisal Fiber and Lotus Petiole Fiber

open access: yes, 2011
In this study, sisal fiber and lotus petiole fiber were compared in structure and properties. SEM photos showed that the sisal fiber surface was rough, but lotus petiole fiber was smooth. The thermal properties of lotus petiole fiber and sisal fiber were

A Spatial Clustering Approach of Economic Activities: An Application to the Agribusiness Sector in Brazil's Midwest Region

open access: yesGeographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The spatial distribution of economic activities is central to regional economics. However, empirical tools for comparing industries based on the similarity of their spatial distributions remain limited. Traditional cluster analysis typically ignores geographical distance and connectivity, while spatial methods focus on clustering places rather
