This review examines the fire retardant potential of natural fiber-reinforced polymer
composites derived from plant fibers such as sisal, jute, hemp and coir etc. While these …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRCs)
for lower-limb prosthetic designs. It covers the characteristics, types, and properties of …

Flax fibers have been shown to have comparable mechanical properties to some
conventional synthetic fibers. Flax fabrics with different textile structures show differences in …

Sheep farmers are currently facing an oversupply of wool and a lack of willing buyers. Due
to low prices, sheep wool is often either dumped, burned, or sent to landfills, which are …

Natural fibers extracted from plants are preferred as an alternative to synthetic products. The
main reasons for this preference are their affordable cost, light weight and good mechanical …

Significant progress has been made in recent years in the use of atmospheric pressure
plasma techniques for surface modification. This research focused on the beneficial effects …

Currently, the use of natural fibers as reinforcements in composites offers several
advantages, such as a decline in materials derived from non-renewable resources and a …

Biopolymers from renewable materials are promising alternatives to the traditional
petroleum-based plastics used today, although they face limitations in terms of performance …

The interest and thus the number of publications on the supply chains of bast fiber plants
has steadily increased in recent years. A number of specific technical terms related to …

Different chemical treatment methods were employed to modify the surface of cotton stalk
fibers, which were then utilized as fillers in composite materials. These treated fibers were …
