“…Figure 3 (D and I) shows also the vascular bundle in almond shells and stems. Some parts of lignified thickenings in the secondary wall arrange as the spiral structure to build the vessels [30]. Furthermore, an observation of the crosssection showed the strong presence of the porous structure of the fibers forming the cellular tissues of the material.Lignin, hemicelluloses, and other extractive substances were removed from almond shells and stems by the extraction and bleaching process, and mainly cellulose was left.…”

C HEMICAL and morphological of Prunus amygdalus L. characterization (shells and stems) were studied in order to assess their potentiality for chemical pulp. In this work, a simple, rapid and sensitive analytical method for the determination of monosaccharide composition in almond shells and stems polysaccharide was developed and validated. The soda-anthraquinone process was also applied in order to evaluate pulp properties. The effects of delignification and bleaching process were statistically investigated by employing response surface methodology. The isolated fibers were investigated and characterized using several techniques such as gel permeation chromatography, X-ray diffraction, morfi analyzer and scanning electron microscope. The obtained results can be considered as a potential source of cellulose for the production of cellulose derivatives, cellulose pulp for papermaking applications and natural fibres reinforced polymer composite.

“…Cellulose is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb water molecules, and many of its chains contain a hydroxyl group (OH) that can form a hydrogen bond with water. Fiber can bind water in a variety of ways, including hydrogen bonds [12]. Hydrogen bonds are formed when hydrogen (H) is bound to an element with high electronegativities, such as carbon (C), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F).…”

The challenge of farming in mountainous areas is soil conservation to avoid erosion. A method to control soil erosion is mulch technology. Mulch can reduce rain energy, preventing damaging the stability of the soil structure. Mulch that is widely used is plastic mulch, but it has several disadvantages. Thus, bio-geotextile is a mulch alternative. Biogeotextiles can be made from mending, a type of grass belonging to the Cyperaceae family and is originally from Southeast Asia. This study aims to determine the effect of the number of layers and weaving spacing of bio-geotextile in controlling soil erosion and the best treatment of Mendong bio-geotextile in controlling soil erosion. The method used was a Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD), which consists of two factors, the number of layers (1 -3 layers) and weaving spacing (0.5-2 cm. It is found that Mendong bio-geotextile with 1 layer and 0.5 cm weaving spacing was the best and most effective treatment in controlling soil erosion. The Mendong bio-geotextile has proven to be effective in reducing soil loss due to erosion. Compared to the soil without bio-geotextile treatment, Mendong's bio-geotextile best treatment can reduce the amount of soil loss up to 98.6%.

“…Traditionally, the mendong straws have been used for rope, mats, and other product like baskets, furniture, and handbags [5]. The mendong grass has the potency as fiber sources because of the production of mendong estimated 14,000 tons every year in Java, Indonesia [6].…”

Abstract-the disposal of synthetic fiber is very difficult to be degraded and cause problems in the environment. The renewable materials have potency as an alternative material for replacing the synthetic material in the composite product. This study was to determine the critical fiber length of mendong fiber embedded in the epoxy composite. The methods were the extraction of mendong fiber from straw, pull out test methods, and morphology analysis of pull out a test using scanning electron microscope. Results show that mendong fiber had a shear strength of 11 MPa and indicated a critical fiber length of 630 µm. The low critical fiber length of mendong embedded in epoxy matrix indicate good adhesion properties of mendong in an epoxy matrix. It recommends that mendong fibers can apply as reinforcement in the epoxy composite in the form of short fiber.
