For centuries, concrete is the main material most widely used in a building. The strength and
durability of this material will decrease over time due to several factors that influence the …

Automotive industries have l been trying to shift towards cellulosic based composites
because of their properties like high modulus, high strength, ease of modification, less …

The potential of nanoparticles as effective drug delivery systems combined with the
versatility of fibers has led to the development of new and improved strategies to help in the …

Natural fibers were given a lot of respect over synthetic ones in terms of sustainability.
Application of natural fibers is superior to synthetics because they can be achieved cheaply …

This work aimed to investigate the biopolyethylene (BioPE)/wood powder (WP) composites
compatibilized with polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA), using macaíba oil …

Synthetic ropes are popular for application in marine boat as docking, anchor, tow, and
sailing. The advantages of synthetic ropes are waterproof, strong and durable, can be …

The use of natural fiber composites is considered as the green when compared to other man-
made fibers. They are biodegradable, recyclable. They are inherently available with …

Lignocellulose fibers (Cellulosic fibers) are among the major agricultural resources from
plant whose potentials are not exploited in some cases and/or underexploited in many …

This Chapter is devoted to a study of short fiber incorporated thermoplastics with or without
fillers. A fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) may be a material consisting of a polymer matrix …

Abstract Characterization is mandatory to exploit potential of natural fibers since most them
don't have available datasheets. Coping with diameter disparity, lumen and their nature, the …
