This research is focused on the physical, mechanical, morphological, elemental, and crystallographic properties of untreated, chemically treated, and emulsion-coated sisal fibers. Physical properties, such as diameter and water... more
Jute, referred to as "golden fiber," beautifully intertwines tradition and ecofriendliness, weaving a fabric that stands resilient and vital towards a greener and more sustainable future. Jute (Corchorus spp.) is notable as a remarkable... more
Nanomaterials are one of the new technological developments that have attracted the attention of many scientists. Using these materials on a large scale can lead to many advanced features. Due to its exceptional properties, a... more
The huge demand for natural fibers necessitates the search for non-traditional bioresources including invasive species which are deteriorating the ecosystem and biodiversity. The study aims to utilize Pueraria montana weed for the... more
Skin biocompatible materials are amongst the fastest-growing markets for nanocelluloses, with a growing number of patents published over the past ten years. This review highlights the recent developments, market trends, safety assessment,... more
The present paper proposes a novel approach for the morphological characterization of cellulose nano and microfibers suspensions (CMF/CNFs) based on the analysis of eroded CMF/CNF microscopy images. This approach offers a detailed... more
Present technology development in the area of materials replaces the conventional materials used in automobile and aerospace sector by composite materials due their less weight and bio degradability. This paper aims to fabricate and... more
In x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), knowledge of elemental depth distributions within the first 10 nm is often essential. However, none of the conventional XPS methods can reliably discern, for example, a thin overlayer from... more
Thermal degradation and chemical degradation are among the key issues affecting mechanical properties and ultimately utilization of natural fibre reinforced polymer (NFRP) bio-composites. In our previous work, mathematical models were... more
In this work, two natural fibres extracted from fruit (borassus) and from bast (ramie) were mechanically characterized and investigated as potential natural reinforcements in biocomposites based on polycaprolactone (PCL). The PCL-based... more
White fir, Douglas-fir and Bishop pine particleboard were bonded by a graft polymerization process using hydrogen peroxide äs a surface activator, and furfuryl alcohol, and mixtures of ammonium lignosulfonate with furfuryl alcohol or with... more
Foam-forming has in the past predominantly been used to create two-dimensional sheet-like fibrous materials. Allowing the foam to drain freely and decay under gravity, rather than applying a vacuum to remove it rapidly, we can produce... more
The application of lignocellulosic fibers as reinforcements in composite materials has found increasing use in recent years, due to the attractive characteristics of natural fibers such as their low cost, high specific modulus,... more
Lignin-based wood adhesives prepared without formaldehyde substituted by non-volatile non-toxic aldehyde, namely glyoxal, were prepared and tested for application to wood panels such as particleboard. The adhesives yielded good IB... more
