Global warming and climate change have emerged as pressing issues closely associated
with human activity and the manufacturing sector, significantly contributing to climate …

In this study, tensile properties of abaca-reinforced HDPE and BioPE composites have been
researched. The strength of the interface between the matrix and the reinforcement of a …

Polyethylene (PE), a highly prevalent non‐biodegradable polymer in the field of plastics,
presents a waste management issue. To alleviate this issue, bio‐based PE (bio‐PE) …

The use of bio-based matrices together with natural fibers as reinforcement is a strategy for
obtaining materials with competitive mechanical properties, costs, and environmental …

In this work, different contents (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1 phr) of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) are
incorporated into the bio‐based high‐density polyethylene (bioPE)/kraft lignin (KL) blends …

The pruning of sweet orange trees (Citrus sinensis) generates large amounts of
lignocellulosic residue. Orange tree pruning (OTP) residue presents a significant lignin …

Stiffness of material is a key parameter that allows the use of material for structural or semi-
structural purposes. Besides, lightweight materials are increasingly calling the attention of …

The present investigation aimed to produce ecological composites of biopolyethylene
(BioPE) with macaíba shell (MS), using polyethylene‐graft‐maleic anhydride (PE‐g‐MA) …

The aim of this study is to conduct an environmental comparison, by applying the life cycle
assessment (LCA) methodology, of two different compositions for animal foods each with …

The persistent nature of single use plastics has become a cause for major health and
environmental concerns worldwide as a result of commercialization. Africa as a continent …
