Evaluation of Wear Properties and Water Absorption Behavior of Banana and Sisal Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Hybrid Composites: Influence of Fiber Length

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
The natural fiber composites are emerging as replacement materials in wide engineering fields. In this work, banana, sisal, and banana-sisal fibers of three different fiber lengths namely 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm are used as reinforcements in the epoxy ...

Modification and Characterization of Hemp and Sisal Fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2014
This work is to investigate the effectiveness of the surface treatment technique of fiber impregnation in polymer solution in improving compatibility of natural fibers with matrix. Hemp and sisal fibers were treated through polymer coating in comparison to acetylation, alkalization/acetylation, and silanization.

Elements of Structural Masonry Reinforced with Sisal Fibers [PDF]

Journal 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 ...

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 ...

Studies of Sisal Fiber-Containing Composites

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2008
ABSTRACT The composite materials are of significant importance to the current technological development. Any type of fiber, mechanical properties of which make it exploitable, should be thoroughly studied from the point of view of its potential applications.

From Social Justice to Indigenous Peoples' Rights: Continuities and (Re)framings in Ejido Property Claims in Yucatán, Mexico

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines how long‐standing local conflicts concerning the nature of common property, the distribution of access and administrative rights associated with it, and more broadly the nature of the community and the forms of citizenship that organise its governance shape demands for justice regarding land transfers to outside investors
