Over the past two decades, the production of expanded polystyrene (in India it is known as
thermocol) has increased drastically due to its versatile applications. Consequently, the …

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 …

Reducing the amount of wastes deposited into the environment has become important. A
fresh approach in doing this is by recycling them. This paper investigated the physical and …

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

Activated carbon monoliths (ACMs) are single-piece, three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical
porous structures with good permeability, high stability, and swift mass transfer features …

This study focuses on the utilisation of plantain fibres for the development of reinforced
polymer composite from waste polystyrene. Varying fibre compositions of 5%, 10%, 15 …
