“…BE has good anti-stripping, anti-rutting, and anti-microbial properties, which help to prevent the degradation of jute in soil, thus increase the durability and prolong the lifetime of the fibers. 36,44 However, with the increase of degradation period, the coating becomes weak and slowly degrade the polymers since these are biodegradable. Nevertheless, 2.5 kGy irradiated samples showed a better result than other samples.…”

“…33 The use of bitumen in jute fibers for bank-protection geotextiles, 34 the mixture of warm asphalt with jute fibers for fracture resistance assessment 35 and use of date palm fibers in bitumen for the evaluation of thermomechanical performance were also reported. 36 Unsaturated polyester (UPE) resin is a very popular thermoset polymer in case of application in natural fibers [37][38][39][40] and synthetic fibers 41,42 for composite materials. Saha et al studied the effect of UPE resin coating on jute geotextiles where 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% UPE resin were used to treat the raw jute fabrics.…”

Jute fibers can be an alternative solution to replace synthetic fibers for temporary sustainable geotextiles applications. To produce sustainable geotextiles, jute fabrics were treated first by bitumen emulsion (BE) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) resin then γ-radiation (2.5, 5, and 10 kGy doses) applied to increase its durability and performance. The resulting samples were J0 (raw jute), J1 (20% BE + 10% UPE), and J2 (30% BE + 10% UPE). It was revealed that γ-irradiation significantly decreased the moisture sensitivity and water absorbency. Tensile strength (TS) improved at 2.5 and 5 kGy doses of irradiation and then decreased at 10 kGy in both directions. The highest increase of TS found for 5 kGy dose in both directions of J1 (27.1% in warp and 27.7% in weft) and J2 (16.0% in warp and 23.8% in weft). After 120 days of soil burial test, biodegradation occurred for all the specimens except 2.5 kGy irradiated sample which retained its TS, however, TS dropped remarkably such as 71.9% and 85.1% in warp and weft directions, respectively for J1 sample, and 90.7% and 94.1% in warp and weft directions, respectively for J2 sample. Antimicrobial resistance of jute fabrics was assessed against gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative E. coli bacteria. Further, FTIR, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also investigated in this study.

“…Special attention has been paid on investigating potential modifiers that come from byproducts or waste materials. For example, chicken feather particles [6], clays [5,7], palm fibers [8], glass and cellulose fibers [1], polyester and wool fibers [9], oyster shell powder [10], corn cob waste-lignin [11], organic imidazolines [12], and rubber crumbs from tires [13], have been successfully used as modifier materials.…”

Sargassum-Modified Asphalt: Effect of Particle Size on Its Physicochemical, Rheological, and Morphological Properties

The effect of sargassum particle size on the final properties of sargassum-modified asphalt is investigated in this article. Seaweed sargassum particles were first obtained and characterized through elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy. Additionally, pure and sargassum-modified asphalt blends were evaluated through physical and rheological tests such as penetration, softening point, thermal stability, dynamic viscosity, failure temperature, and epifluorescence microscopy. Modified asphalt blends were prepared by the hot mixing technique using different proportions of sargassum particles of two maximum sizes: 500 μm and 850 μm. Incorporating 3.0 wt.% of sargassum particles under 500 μm into the asphalt increased the viscosity of the original binder by a factor of 2.5 and its complex modulus by a factor of 1.9. At the same time, its failure temperature was 11 °C higher than the reference asphalt, which implies an improved viscoelastic behavior and rutting resistance at high temperatures. The study results suggest that the particles under 500 μm were responsible for the most significant effect on the final properties of the asphalt. Moreover, the storage stability test revealed that the modified asphalt blends are stable when the sargassum particle content was kept below 3.0 wt.%. The statistical analysis of the effect of sargassum particle size and concentration on the modified asphalt properties revealed that the rheological behavior is more affected by the modifier particle size; in contrast, the conventional physical properties were more determined by its concentration. Therefore, using low proportions of fine sargassum particles is efficient for improving the physical and rheological properties of the original asphalt, which is not only positive from the asphalt modification technology point of view but also from a sustainable perspective, since seaweed sargassum has become a useless plague in many coastal regions.

This article reports a new chemical treatment method to extract rich cellulosic fibers from date palm agro-residues. The technique comprises a multistep process which is quite unique, efficient, sustainable, and capable of producing high-performance natural date palm fibers. In specific, it consists of three consecutive steps: dewaxing, acetylation, and mercerization, which are carried out in a strict sequence. Each step is designated to achieve a specific goal in preparation for the next step. In addition, procedures have been adjusted from its initial state by incorporating input parameters that are configured experimentally to optimize outputs via the design of experiment approach. The method has been applied in two variants with respect to heating mechanism: conventional heat-assisted and microwave heat-assisted sources. An experimental characterization of mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of the treated fibers exhibited a significant enhancement over the untreated counterparts which confirms the potency of the new process.
