Mechanical evaluation and characterization of hybrid sugarcane bagasse microfibrillated cellulose with added filler materials for use as disposable utensils

Characterization of sago tree parts from Sentani, Papua, Indonesia for biomass energy utilization

“…Various components of the sago plant, such as leaves, seeds, fruits, and stems, are used to harvest these fibers. Water is sprayed through perforated pipes onto the reel's body, flushing out the rasped pith and starch grains [ 17 ].…”

“…Waste fibers are separated and discharged from the lower end of the washing cylinder, while starch-laden water passes through a coarse wire screen, removing most of the fiber before sedimentation in cement tanks or wooden troughs [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] ]. The renewable and biodegradable nature of these materials offers significant advantages.…”

Mechanical Properties of Ternary Composite from Waste Leather Fibers and Waste Polyamide Fibers with Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber

“…Fundamentally, the incorporation of fiber reinforcement and polymer matrix results in composite materials that exhibit remarkable stiffness, strength, and toughness. The reinforcing fibers are typically categorized into three groups: "natural fibers" (i.e., bamboo, kenaf, sisal, jute) [14,15], "synthetic fibers" (i.e., carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers) [16] and "animal-based fibers" (i.e., wool, silk, leather fiber) [17]. The polymer matrix plays a crucial role in connecting the fibrous reinforcement from the surroundings and facilitating the appropriate alignment of the fibers.…”
