“…The tensile strength (TS) value for the untreated fibers extracted by boiling (UEB) and retting in water (UER) was found to be 116.06 ±32.69 and 103.63 ±24.87 MPa, respectively, and their E (Young's modulus) value was 5.64 ±1.94 and 4.38 ±1.14 GPa, respectively (Table 2). The UEB fibers appear to provide improved tensile properties compared to UER fibers, and this is in good agreement with analogous data from the literature (Chonsakorn, Srivorradatpaisan, and Mongkholrattanasit 2019). From the typical stress-strain curves (Figure 2), it can be observed that the behaviour is nonlinear until the rupture of the fibers and this non-linearity is more pronounced for the treated fibers.…”

Alkali treatment effect on physicochemical and tensile properties of date palm rachis fibersABSTRACT: This work aims to optimize the physico-chemical and tensile properties of vascular fibers extracted from a local date palm rachis in Algeria. This fiber has a very specific composition and architecture and is different from the remaining fibers obtained from the six possible parts of the tree. For this purpose, a Taguchi orthogonal array design L16 was applied to reduce the number of experiments. The fibers were extracted from the rachis with two different methods (boiling and retting in water) and treated by NaOH with various concentrations (1%, 2%, 3%, and 5%) and for different durations (1, 4, 8 and 12 hours). They were characterized using SEM-EDX, ATR-FTIR, XRD and TGA to understand the effects of the extraction method and alkali treatment. A statistical treatment of the data was carried out based on the S/N ratio and ANOVA was performed to identify the most significant parameters affecting the tensile strength and the Young's modulus of the fibers. A desirability function was developed to identify the optimal factors leading to the maximization of the tensile properties.

In this research, an attempt is made to investigate the abrasive and erosion wear resistance of aquatic waste plant water hyacinth converted fibre-reinforced polymer composites. From a novel approach, the new fibre extraction machine is designed to extract the hyacinth fibre from the parent plant and reinforce it to the epoxy matrix material to produce a natural fibre composite for frictional applications. The extracted fibre is dried in the open sunlight area for 22 to 35 days to remove moisture and external dust particles. Then, different weight percentages (15, 20, 25, 30, and 35) of composite samples are produced with the help of the hot press compression moulding technique. Improved hyacinth composite tribology properties are tested by utilizing the pin on the disk machine. This setup included various processing parameters like load (10, 20, and 30 N), velocities (1, 2, and 3 m/s), speed (160, 320, and 479 rpm), and constant sliding distance condition, and the erosion setup also influences the essential parameters like impact angle (30, 45, and 60°), erodent velocity (1, 2.5, and 3.3 m/s), and discharge rate (28, 41, and 72 g/m). The factorial techniques are used to identify the important design factors. The final results represent the weight loss, volume loss, and erosion rate of hyacinth fibre composite. By utilizing the SEM (scanning electron microscope), the worn surface morphology of different weight percentages of hyacinth fibre samples are analysed. To upgrade the usage of hyacinth reinforced composites for different industrial applications, wear and erosion studies are conducted with different parameter conditions.

The topic indicated in this mini-review is an essential factor for the improvement of society through a clean environment movement. Now, this era of microbes forces us to make such kind of development for creating hazard free and healthy life. Girls in rural areas use old cloths, tissue paper, cotton, wool pieces, or a combination of these items to manage menstrual bleeding. Qualitative studies indicate that only those girls who know about several conventional sanitary pads, they prefer to use it. But for many girls, such pads are unavailable or unaffordable. These pads, when fl ushed, swell up due to saturation with liquid results in sewage blockage, which is a global problem. Sanitary products with the blood of an infected woman/girl may contain hepatitis and HIV viruses where pathogens can live up to 6 months and will retain in soil/water bodies. Incineration is a technique to dispose of menstrual waste. But the burning of pads releases gases that affect health and environment, where the chemical dioxins are toxic and carcinogenic. Considering this drawback, biodegradable sanitary napkins made from natural fi bers are a perfect alternative route creating a hazard-free environment. This article focus on the development of different biodegradable sanitary napkins that are made up of the fi ber of different plasnts like jute, banana, cotton, water hyacinth bamboo etc. This development provides infection and irritation-free menstruation using bio-active materials of plant origin, which also possess anti-microbial properties. The fi nal implementation of this product will also benefi t society by employing rural women empowerment.
