The necessary element of non-public protecting instrumentation is mask. Mask is most necessary in pandemic as a result it safeguard our life by stopping the spreading of the Corona virus by entrapping the droplets from the corona affected person to enter wearer’s nose. There are different typed of mask like non- woven mask, reusable mask, N95 mask and artifact mask etc. Majority of business masks are non-woven masks that are created from polypropylene fiber. The most downside of non-woven masks is its discomfort and affect lack of breathability. This drawback is solved by utilizing natural fibers collectively of the material in non-woven and victimization them in mask. Bamboo fiber may be a natural celluloid fiber having smart comfort properties with antimicrobial properties. Bamboo fiber is also hydroscopic, natural deodorizer and hypoallergenic which provides good breathability and comfort. The polypropylene fiber is used with bamboo to provide good strength and abrasion property. Hence an attempt is made to develop a surgical mask from bamboo fiber with different blend ratios of 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50 of Bamboo and Polypropylene fiber to judge its mechanical properties like GSM and thickness potential as a protecting barrier material in non-woven face masks. The developed non-woven fabric of different blend is compared with each other, and the results shows 50: 50 blend has good mechanical properties, and the results show an effective value of Bacterial Filtration efficiency and Differential Pressure which are the most important parameters to predict the filtration efficiency of a surgical mask.

“…They are commonly used in clothes, textiles such as medical textiles, nonwoven fabrics (hygiene materials), and home furnishings [9]. Bamboo fibres are employed in biofuel production, construction materials, food and feedstock, musical instruments, the paper industry, the pharmaceutical business, the textile industry, the cosmetic industry, and the sports industry due to their versatile features [22]. Natural bamboo fibers are widely used in the pulp and paper industry for construction purposes and for natural fiber reinforced composites.…”

The issue of biodegradability must be addressed when considering the protection of our environment. Plastic materials are used in commercially accessible sanitary napkins. One of the primary issues with sanitary napkins is that they are non-biodegradable and can be found in landfills for up to 800 years. Increased menstrual waste has sparked calls for a revolution and the development of innovative techniques for addressing the global issue of commercial sanitary pads’ non-biodegradability. Plant fibres are a more environmentally friendly alternative to commercially supplied pads. Plant fibres are lignocellulosic fibres composed primarily of cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, pectin, and other polymers. In terms of abundance, biodegradability, non-irritant and chemical-free, easily renewable and environmental friendliness, plant fibres represent a suitable alternative to commercial sanitary napkins. The current review focuses on plant fibres such as jute, bamboo, bananas, and kenaf as an alternative raw material in the manufacture of sanitary napkins.

“…In general, bamboo used for fibre preparation is 3-4 years old. By alkaline hydrolysis and multi-phase bleaching of bamboo stems and leaves, fibre is made, followed by chemical treatment of the starchy pulp created during the process [33]. There are various mechanical properties of bamboo fibre-reinforced malleated PP composites with bamboo fibres of varying sizes (< 500μm, 500journal.ump.edu.my/construction ◄ 850μm, 850 μm to 1 mm and % lt; 2 mm).…”

Nowadays porous asphalt pavement increase usage other than the traditional type of asphalt pavement. In that sense porous asphalt specially use in the parking areas and walk ways for pedestrian. There are diverse ways that has been done in order to stick up to permanent degradation such as adding fibers and modifiers like polymers, chemical modifiers, expandars, oxidants and antioxidents, hydrocarbons and antistripping to enhance the fatigue and service life of the pavement. To use these type of additives in porous asphalt pavement some additive increase the mechanical performance of porous asphalt mixture and improve the serviceability of the pavement. Digital image processing use these type of pavement to reduce the air void of the asphalt mixture and increase the physical properties of the porous asphalt pavement. This review paper mainly discuss the overall performance and advantage of porous asphalt using different types of additives.
