Water Absorption and Thickness Swelling Behaviour of Woven Roselle Fibre Epoxy Composites
International Journal of Vehicle Structures and Systems, 2022 The effect of roselle fabric weave pattern on water absorption and thickness swelling behaviour of woven roselle fibre composites has been investigated. Roselle fabrics with various weaving design such as plain, twill, satin and basket are used in this study. All composites are produced using hand layup process.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.
