The use of natural materials in place of synthetic materials has been the focus of research in
sustainable geotechnics. In this context, use of natural plants/weeds as randomly distributed …

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 …

The demand for high-performance engineering products made from natural resources is
increasing because of the low-cost, low-density, biodegradability, renewable nature and …

Objective: A Kenaf composite was prepared by using hand lay-up process. The effect of
weather on mechanical, morphology and thermal properties of kenaf composite was studied …

Cement, concrete and ceramic products are generally brittle and perform poorly when
subjected to flexural and tensile loading, hence the need to incorporate reinforcing materials …

Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest in the use of natural fibers in
biocomposites both in industrial applications and fundamental research due to its many …

In this research, we prepared pure kenaf composites and kenaf/glass fibre hybrid
composites using the hand lay-up procedure. Also, we studied the weather effects on the …

The innovation in material science reveals more materials day by day and the material
database grows exponentially. The conventional material selection systems fail to handle …

A Kenaf composite was prepared by using hand lay-up process. The effect of weather on
mechanical, morphology and thermal properties of kenaf composite were studied. Tensile …

Green composites using cellulose fibers as a reinforcement material provide a sustainable
and renewable alternative to petroleum-based polymers. However, controlling the usage of …
