Luffa spp. is readily available and widely grown in Asia and Africa and is a rich source of
natural fibres for composite development. This paper reviews research findings on Luffa …

The aim of this paper was to review the recent advances in treatment strategies for natural
fibers before their utilization in a reinforced composite in the last 5 years. More focus was …

The worldwide expansion in energy and resource use has resulted in a number of
unsustainable innovations, necessitating the development of resource sustainability and a …

Composite material development for industrial uses is a critical technology in solid waste
management. In this study, we report, for the first time, the synthesis of thermally cured …

The purpose of this study is to minimize the environmental impact and to reduce the cost of
petroleum-derived polystyrene by the use of date palm leaves remnants in the production of …

Expanded polystyrene and waste biomass (almond leaves) were investigated in this study
as effective feedstocks for the synthesis of biochar. The biochar was created in a top-lit …

Luffa cylindrica fibre and polystyrene are both wastes seen on farmland and in public waste
streams, respectively, causing nuisance in the environment. This study was aimed at the …

The usage of the mechanically extracted plantain stalk fibers and local clay (akerebiata clay)
as fillers in solvated polystyrene resin was employed in this study. Hand layup route of …

There is a rising demand for natural fiber reinforced polystyrene composite materials
because of the toxicity associated with mineral-based composites and the rising …

As plastics, metals and agricultural wastes are mounting up daily, one major aspect of solid
waste management is recycling of multiple solid wastes to develop functional materials. A …
