Rising energy concerns, rapid infrastructure development, and greater environmental
awareness have fueled the demand for sustainable materials. In this direction, sustainable …

Application of natural fiber‐polymer composites (NFPCs) in different industrial applications
provides competitive edge due to their lightweight, higher specific mechanical properties …

The aim was to explore the utilization of tea leaf waste fibers (TLWF) as a source for the
production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). TLWF was first treated with alkaline, followed by …

Oil palm biomass is a readily available raw material for production of green chemicals such
as levulinic acid and ethanol. One of the major problems on the conversion of this biomass …

In this study, the effects of benzoylation treatment on SPF were discussed. Five different
parameters of SPF were compared, which were untreated, NaOH-pretreated, and benzoyl …

Sugar palm fiber (SPF) as one of the attractive natural fibers to reinforce matrix is gaining
attention. This is largely due to its similar properties when compared with other established …

Polylactic acid-based (PLA) composites are widely used in biomedicine, electrical
components, food packaging and other fields, but their unsatisfactory mechanical properties …

Plants are the primary sources of cellulose. This paper is aimed at isolating cellulose from
Oxytenanthera abyssinica via chemical treatments. The thermal behavior, functional group …

This paper investigated the contribution of plant fibers recovered from date palm waste to
modify bitumen properties. Palm fibers were characterized to determine their chemical …

This work investigated the effect of maleic anhydride (MA)-modified poly (lactic acid)(PLA),
which is melt-blended with different untreated and aqueous borax (BR)-treated hybrid oil …
