A rapid growth in the research and employment of natural-fiber composites (NFCs) has been
observed in the last years. This is explained by their many advantages, such as the …

The use of cellulose nanofibers as reinforcement may contribute for improving particle
packing and decrease the crack growth rate of composites at nanoscale. Additionally, the …

The current paper aims to propose a novel epoxy resin bonding agent for improving the
bonding strength of epoxy resin coating systems. These kinds of systems are mainly …

This study examines the effects of preform architecture, surface treatment, and z-directional
micro-fiber reinforcement on the interlaminar fracture performance of jute/epoxy laminated …

The use of composite materials in construction has grown considerably in recent years, such
as cementitious matrices and concrete reinforced with fibers. The vegetable fibers have …

Natural fibers are lighter, less expensive, and less abrasive than synthetic fibers such as
glass or carbon, and provide a resource that is both renewable and biodegradable. This …

The aim of this work includes modeling and optimization of the tensile properties of natural
fiber biocomposites using the concept of experimental design. A three‐factor, three‐level …

A big scientific challenge of biocomposites is in improving impact strength. Thus, the key
aspect of the present study is in investigating an in-depth statistical approach on influence of …

The use of residual sisal fiber is becoming more frequent as reinforcement element in
organic or inorganic matrix due to its low cost, high abundance in some countries and …
