The applications of sisal fibre-based materials in the built environment: opportunities for South Africa

Author: Dlungwana, Wilkin S ; Mapiravana, Joseph ; Ampofo-Anti, Naa Lamkai ; Dumani, Nozonke Date: Dec 2017 The building sector represented the largest uptake globally of natural fibre reinforced composites (NFRCs)1 in 2005 (Sharma et al, 2007). As the sector which consumes about 50% of all raw materials extracted from the Earth’s crust annually ... Read more
Biodegradability of biobased polymeric materials in natural environments: Structures and Chemistry

Author: Muniyasamy, Sudhakar ; John, Maya J Date: Mar 2017 The development of biobased polymer materials from renewable resources meets the concept of sustainability, offering the potential of renewability, biodegradation, and a path away from the problems associated with plastic derived from ...

Biodegradable behaviour of waste wool and their recycled polyster preforms in aqueous and soil conditions

Author: Muniyasamy, Sudhakar ; Patnaik, Asis Date: Jan 2021 Present study deals with the biodegradable behavior of individual components and their preforms of nonwoven biocomposites developed from waste wool fibers including coring wool (CW), dorper wool (DW) and recycled polyester fibers (RPET). A ... Read more
Composites from bast fibres - prospects and potential in the changing market environment

Author: Anandjiwala, RD ; Blouw, S Date: Oct 2004 Composite materials reinforced with natural fibres, such as flax, hemp, kenaf and jute, are gaining increasing importance in automotive, aerospace, packaging and other industrial applications due to their lighter weight, competitive specific ...

Composites from Natural Fibers and Bioresins

Author: Paul, V ; John, Maya J Date: Apr 2018 There is an increasing urgency worldwide to develop bio-based products that can ease the widespread dependence on fossil fuels. The use of natural fibers and natural bio-based resin systems for the production of biocomposites has been pursued ... Read more
Environmental degradation in biocomposites

Author: John, Maya J Date: Jun 2017 The emergence of biocomposites as an alternative to petroleum-based composites has largely been to superior technical properties along with problems associated with depleting petroleum resources and increasing environmental legislations. The ... Read more
Flax fabric reinforced arylated soy protein composites: A brittle-matrix behaviour

Author: Kumar, R ; Anandjiwala, RD Date: May 2012 Biocomposites were successfully prepared by the reinforcement of soy protein isolate (SPI) with different weight fractions of woven flax fabric. The flax-fabric-reinforced SPI-based composites were then arylated with 2,2-diphenyl-2-hydroxyethanoic ... Read more
Mechanical, microstructure, and dynamic mechanical analysis of nano-shell and plant fiber hybrid biocomposite

Author: Gbadeyan, OJ ; Adali, S ; Bright, G ; Sithole, Bishop B ; Lekha, Prabashni S Date: May 2021 This study deal with the development and investigation of a novel hybrid nano-shell plant fiber biocomposite. Nano-calcium carbonate CaCO3 ranging from 1 to 5 wt% and 20 wt% banana fiber-filled hybrid biocomposite were prepared using a hand ... Read more
Poly(Butylene Succinate) and Poly[(Butylene Succinate)-co-Adipate] Nanocomposites

Author: Ojijo, Vincent O ; Ray, Suprakas S Date: 2012 In the recent years, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters-based composite materials have attracted substantial interest, primarily due to their sustainable production, use and end-life. This chapter discusses the preparation, characterisation, ... Read more
Recent developments in chemical modification and characterization of natural fiber-reinforced composites

Author: John, Maya J ; Anandjiwala, RD Date: 2008 A critical review of the literature on the various aspects of natural fibers and biocomposites with a particular reference to chemical modifications is presented in this paper. A notable disadvantage of natural fibers is their polarity which ... Read more
Recycling of plastics and composites materials and degradation technologies for bioplastics and biocomposites

Author: Muniyasamy, Sudhakar ; Dada, OS Date: Jan 2021 Plastic becomes a necessity for our day-to-day life, since it has been widely used in all major sectors including the textile industry. However, the tackling of these recalcitrant plastic-based products wastes is becoming the most challenging ... Read more
A review on electrospun bio-based polymers for water treatment

Author: Mokhena, Teboho C ; Jacobs, V ; Luyt, AS Date: May 2015 Over the past decades, electrospinning of biopolymers down to nanoscale garnered much interest to address most of the millennia issues related to water treatment. The fabrication of these nanostructured membranes added a new dimension to the ... Read more
