This study is the first to use date palm surface fibers, an underutilized waste, to develop
thermoplastic insulation composites. The building sector accounts for approximately 40% of …

In recent decades, there has been a growing concern about the excessive consumption on
petroleum-based sources. Scientists are now focused on increasing the utilization of natural …

Date palm and cashew shell wastes are abundant byproducts of the agriculture industry in
the UAE, but they are often underutilized and not adequately managed, resulting in …

The potential of the least-exploited date pam waste was presented as feedstock for bio-oil
production. The surface fibers of the date palm are widely available as waste material in the …

The thermal envelope is a key component of a building's energy efficiency. Therefore,
considerable efforts have been made to develop thermal insulating materials with a better …

Using natural porous and fibrous materials for acoustic and thermal conditioning in the
construction sector is a solution to achieve a comfort level in buildings. The novelty of this …

The date palm tree is the native plant species of Middle-eastern countries and their
surrounding regions, which generate around 2.6 to 2.8 million tons of agricultural waste …

This study investigates the confined foaming mechanisms and passive cooling performance
of Micro-/Nano-Layered (MNL) film/foam alternating structures. These structures consist of …

Based on the advantages of the silicone graphene composite thermal insulation board, it
was used to replace traditional plywood in the external wall formwork system, and the active …

New composites made of natural fiber polymers such as wasted date palm surface fiber
(DPSF) and pineapple leaf fibers (PALFs) are developed in an attempt to lower the …
