Natural fiber such as bamboo fiber, oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fiber, kenaf fiber, and
sugar palm fiber-reinforced polymer composites are being increasingly developed for …

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites play important roles in the production of eco-
friendly materials because of their high modulus, meticulous strength and reduced carbon …

The coconut (Cocos nucifera) fruits are extensively grown in tropical countries. The use of
coconut husk-derived coir fiber-reinforced biocomposites is on the rise nowadays due to the …

Reducing energy consumption and minimizing environmental impacts have been significant
factors in expanding the applicability of plant fiber-reinforced composites across a variety of …

Blends of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) have always been the subject of
intense reasearch for encouraging polymer waste recycling while producing new materials …

Natural fibres of plant and animal origin have been explored vastly over the last two
decades and are gaining importance over synthetic counterparts owing to their …

The properties of composites depend on type and properties of the fiber, fiber structure and
treatment. In this study, effects of NaOH treatment on the physical, chemical and mechanical …

In this work, biocomposites were produced by compounding polypropylene (PP) with spent
coffee grounds (SCG) obtained after soluble coffee preparation. The samples were prepared …

Cellulose was extracted from the banana stem by chemical method and the factors affecting
the extraction process such as concentration of NaOH and H 2 O 2, as well as the assisted …

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were prepared from Napier grass stems via alkalization,
bleaching and sulfuric acid hydrolysis treatments and subsequently characterized by various …
