Growing environmental concerns have made more people aware of waste utilization and
management. Agro-waste is becoming to be one of the main contributors to the …

The nano-TiO 2 modified foamed wheat straw fiber/polypropylene (F-WSFs/PP) hierarchical
composites were fabricated by a hot-extrusion process. To improve the dispersion of nano …

Performance assessment of nuclear waste disposal options requires implementation of
effective buffer materials. Buffer materials must meet longevity requirements and scavenge …

Mechanical properties considerably reduce in wood-plastic composites (WPCs) due to the
use of wood particles, so the structural applications of these composites are scarce. Thus …

Continuous-fiber reinforced WPCs were prepared using an extruder with a special die. The
effects of the amount (1–7 bundles) and type of fiber (aramid rovings and yarns and carbon …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) composites reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)
are promising biodegradable materials. However, the poor compatibility and dispersion of …

Natural modifiers have become an excellent choice for wood modification. In this study,
industrial alkali lignin and organic-montmorillonite (OMMT) were synergistically applied to …

A new type of flexible bamboo fiber (BF) was extracted by using an environmentally friendly
solvent‐extraction technique. A series of mats with different mass ratios of BFs and …

Abstract Szargut et al.[1] proposed an appropriative equation for calculating the exergy of
woody biomass. Cumbersome work is involved in calculating the exergy of woody biomass …

High‐performance composites reinforced with natural fibers are next‐generation structural
materials due to their recyclability and light weight. Manufacturing composites with high …
