Study of the reuse potential of the sisal fibers powder as a particulate material in polymer composites

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2019
The present work studied the reuse of sisal fiber powder, contaminated by industrial oil, resulting from the activities of a Brazilian textile industry. With the objective of reusing the contaminated sisal fiber powder residue, harmful to the environment,

Toughening of wood particle composites—Effects of sisal fibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2006
AbstractSisal fibers were added to wood particle composites to enhance their toughness. The selected matrix was a commercial styrene diluted unsaturated polyester thermoset resin. Fracture tests were carried out using single‐edge notched beam geometries.

Additives Enhancing Biodegradability in Plastics and Potential Implications for Textiles: A Mechanistic Review

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 35, September 15, 2026.
Mechanistic insights from additive‐assisted plastic degradation guide the design of environmentally adaptive textile fibers. Functional additives enhance oxidative, hydrolytic, enzymatic, and microbial degradation pathways. Translating these strategies requires control of fiber architecture, additive distribution, and environmental interactions ...

Effects of different lengths and doses of raw and treated sisal fibers in the cement composite material

Scientific Reports
Sisal fiber moisture sensitivity and degradation are treated by alkaline and pozzolanic methods, such as silica fume and kaolin surface coating. However, it is novel that the treatment of sisal fiber by calcined bentonite slurry can coat sisal fiber from

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

Common coastal best management practice materials are a microplastic source

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract Coastal development has led to a reframing of shoreline protection best management practices (BMPs), which use geotextiles for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. One risk of geotextile use in dynamic coastal environments is degradation into microplastics.

Bt agave: why it is time to explore a new biotechnological frontier

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8053-8063, September 2026.
Drylands cover 41% of Earth, requiring sustainable crops. Agave, drought‐ and heat‐adapted, offers high‐value products with low water needs. Pests limit yield, yet Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry proteins, successful in other plants, remain unexploited in Agave.
