Surface modification induced by sodium carbonate on coir fibres was studied in view of its
application as a reinforcing agent in polyester and epoxy polymer fibre-reinforced …

Iridescent films constructed by self-assembly of rod-like cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are
mechanically brittle and of poor thermal stability. Herein, we demonstrate that the toughness …

This article describes a study on the use of a new biocomposite for the construction material
made of plaster and fibres extracted from palm Washingtonia filifera (WF), also known under …

This work evaluates a new eco-friendly surface treatment method for coir fibres based on
sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3). The fibres are treated with 10 wt% NaHCO 3 solution for …

The growing demand for products with lower environmental impact and the extensive
applicability of cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have received attention due to their attractive …

Thermo-chemical conversion via the pyrolysis of cigarette butt (CB) filters was successfully
valorized and upcycled in the pre-carbonization and carbonization stages. The pre …

Over the past few years, there has been enormous attention on the use of different
innovative surface modification methods for the production of textile surfaces with novel …

Cellulose nanofiber (CNF)-reinforced polypropylenes (PPs) with different CNF content were
investigated by Fourier transform terahertz (THz) spectroscopy over the frequency range of 1 …

This work investigates a hybrid polyester composite consisted of Curauá natural fibres and
organophilic clay nanoparticles. A Taguchi method is used to identify the effects of fibre …

The current research is intended to investigate the effect of gamma radiation on the cotton
fabric and compare the dyeability of gamma irradiated fabric with that of chemically …
