Rice husk as reinforcing filler in polypropylene composites

Effect of chemical treatment on the mechanical and water absorption properties of bagasse fiber-reinforced epoxy composites

“…Because of its low cost and good mechanical properties, bagasse fiber (BF) is considered the most abundantly available fiber among all similar types of resources. It can be used as an effective reinforcing material with polymer [7,8] . Zheng et al [9] performed surface treatments of BF with benzoic acid and examined the mechanical properties of the composite by using the orthogonal optimal method.…”

Sustainable rural electrification using rice husk biomass energy: A case study of Cambodia

“…According to Santiaguel, rice husk, a waste by-product of farming, has become a gold mine of new products [71]. Rice husk has a hard structure and less suitable for fermentation due to its large amounts of lignin and silica (SiO 2 ) [72,73]. Most rice husk is used as fuel for combustion and has great potential as an energy source.…”

Solid waste-based hybrid natural fiber polymeric composites

“…Some of the important properties of PP are non-toxic, light weight, easy fabrication, low moisture absorption, resistant to more alkalis, and excellent dielectric properties. 6…”

“…8 Some other important natural fibers from agricultural sources are banana, pine-apple, rubber wood, pal oil fruit bunch, and rice husk. 6 Rice husk is one of such major agro-waste products, which contains cellulose (50%), lignin (25–30%), and ash (15–20%) silica. 9 These natural fibers are found in all life cycles of all walks of life.…”

“…Generally many PP have wide range of applications in preparing sheet rolls, toys, tubing, piping, housewares, furniture, appliances, batteries cases, tables, etc. Some of the important properties of PP are nontoxic, light weight, easy fabrication, low moisture absorption, resistant to more alkalis, and excellent dielectric properties 6.…”
