The specific interest for the use of bark in materials, instead than for energy recovery, is
owed to circular economy considerations, since bark fibers are normally byproducts or even …

As possible substitutes for non-biodegradable synthetic fibre, ligno-cellulosic fibres have
attracted much interest for their eco-friendliness; a large number of them are already used …

Environmental concerns and the depletion of petroleum resources have spurred research
into natural fibres as sustainable alternatives to synthetic fibres as the reinforcement phase …

Carbon nanotube (CNT)/epoxy composite films were successfully developed by a
combination of layer-by-layer and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding methods using …

Natural fabrics from two bark trees of Uganda (“Kilundu”: Antiaris toxicaria and “Mutuba”:
Ficus natalensis) are being considered today for the local footwear industry. Here, we …

In the current study, bi-directional Carbon Fiber Fabric has been used to fabricate the
polymeric composite. The polymer composites were manufactured using the Vacuum …

In this study, cellulose films were prepared from Ficus natalensis bark cloth fibers via phase
inversion technique using NaOH/urea/water as the solvent. Films were formed at a …

As possible substitutes for non-biodegradable synthetic fibre, ligno-cellulosic fibres have

This thesis aims to comprehensively investigate the mechanical, electrical and thermal
properties of the CNT fibers and films fabricated by the floating catalyst method and to …

Engineering materials manufactured from synthetic fibres are responsible for global
environmental pollution since they are non-biodegradable. Sisal natural fibers provide a …
