Olives' consumption produces copious agricultural byproducts that have accompanied
humanity for millennia, but the increasing worldwide production complicates its …

The use of natural renewable fibers such as olive stone flour as novel organic fillers in
polymer matrices is investigated. Properties of olive stone flour such as abundance …

The production of olive oil leads to considerable amounts of solid waste mainly composed of
hard woody endocarp called olive stones. The aim of this work is to explore the possible use …

The usefulness of olive stone flour (OSF) from the solid residue of the olive oil extraction as a
reinforcement for the preparation of a cost-effective polypropylene-based composite was …

The outgrowing ecological and socio-economic awareness, high consumption of petroleum
resources and new environmentally strong regulations especially in European countries …

Olive nuts flour (ONF) from the solid waste of the olive oil extraction was used as a cost–
effective filler to reinforce unsaturated polyester resin matrix composites. Composites with …

Natural fibers are composed mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, with the
composition varying according to the type of plant and geographic region. Their low density …

Particulate composites with polylactide (PLA) as a matrix and wastes deriving from the wine
production have been formulated at different compositions. The microstructure and the …

In the last decade, continuous research advances have been observed in the field of
environmentally friendly polymers and polymer composites due to the dependence of …
