New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.Aquaculture relies extensively on plastic materials, creating a need for lower‐plastic alternatives that retain the functional properties required for production. This study combined mātauranga Māori and science to identify natural plant fibres suitable for manufacturing mussel ropes and to evaluate their ability to catch and retain Greenshell mussel ...

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries
Advanced 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
Key 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]
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 ...

Macromolecular 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
Mühendislik 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.
