“…The availability of natural fibres is directly related to the climatic zones. This is particularly true for plant fibres, like jute [3], coir [4], sisal [5,6], bamboo [7], wood [8], palm leaf [9], coconut leaf [10] and fibres [11], cotton [12] and hemp [13], or cellulose [14]. Plant or cellulose fibres have many advantages, such as wide availability at a relatively low cost, biological renewal, recyclability, biodegradability, harmless nature, and zero carbon footprint [15].…”

In this paper, an overview of the latest research activities in the field of cement-based composites incorporating sheep wool reinforcement is presented. First, the characteristics of this type of natural fibre are described. Then, the current use of sheep wool fibres in cement-based composites is discussed. The research problems regarding the properties of cement matrix composites reinforced with sheep wool are divided into four groups: thermal and acoustic properties, mechanical behavior, durability issues, and microstructure aspects. The latter two groups are analysed separately, because both durability and microstructure are of particular importance for future applications of wool reinforcement. Finally, the main directions of future researches are presented.

“…The properties of bamboos are reported recently by Xu et al [6], Tanpichai et al [7] and Hai et al [8], while the application is of the bamboo on the structure [9][10][11] and related fabrication of bamboo fibers are publicly revealed by Zhang et al [12]. The temperature effects on bamboo fibers were examined and found that the bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy composite (BFREC) with 40% fiber volume fraction exhibited the highest tensile and flexural strength compared to polyester and vinyl ester composites [6]. The mechanical properties of bamboo were presented [7,8] and specifically showing the behavior on fire [8].…”

The aim of this work is to characterize particle of bamboo leaves charcoal produced by ball milling process. The characterization parameter are the particle size and the morphology of the particle. The milling process was completed in a cylinder vial made from stainless steel. The milling element was a steel ball. The dimension of the cylinder vial was 120 mm length and 1 inch diameter, while the ball diameter was 0.25 inch. The charcoal was crushed manually then sieved with a filter size of 200 meshes. The particles passing the filter were then put together with the milling balls into cylinder vial. The cylinder vial was shaken to have ball collision for the size reduction. The shaker machine was operated at 1000 rpm for 2 million cycles. The empty space in the vial was varied for 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/5 empty space of vial volume. Further work is done to see the effect of the machine speed to the characteristics of particles. The machine is operated at 800 rpm, 900 rpm, 1100 rpm for 1/5 empty space and 0.25 inch ball diameter. Particle size analyzer (PSA) was used to measure average particle size, while Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) were employed to see the particle morphology and the content of elements in the bamboo leaf charcoal. The results showed that the average size of particles is in the range of 300 nm to 600 nm. There is no certain relationship between final particle size and percentage of vial volume empty space. The SEM results showed that the particle shape is irregular as a result of fracture due to collision. The most dominant element is carbon which is more than 60% and the second is silicon dioxide (silica) which is more the 20%.

“…Results showed that Miscanthus sacchariflorus possesses lower lignin and higher polysaccharide content in its leaves and stalks, compared to other Miscanthus species, therefore it is a better bioenergy crop (Jung, Kim & Chung, 2015). It was found that an alkali treatment leads to gradual removal of binding materials, such as hemicellulose and lignin from bamboo fiber (Zhang, Wang & Keer, 2015;Chin et al, 2020). The wood waste and cellulose, hemicellulose handled with cyclic anhydrides in a green reactive and solvent-free extrusion will allow targeted modification of composites (Vaidya, Gaugler & Smith, 2016).…”

Recycling biomass is indispensable these days not only because fossil energy sources are gradually depleted, but also because pollution of the environment, caused by the increasing use of energy, must be reduced. This article intends to overview the results of plant biomass processing methods that are currently in use. Our aim was also to review published methods that are not currently in use. It is intended to explore the possibilities of new methods and enzymes to be used in biomass recycling. The results of this overview are perplexing in almost every area. Advances have been made in the pre-treatment of biomass and in the diversity and applications of the enzymes utilized. Based on molecular modeling, very little progress has been made in the modification of existing enzymes for altered function and adaptation for the environmental conditions during the processing of biomass. There are hardly any publications in which molecular modeling techniques are used to improve enzyme function and to adapt enzymes to various environmental conditions. Our view is that using modern computational, biochemical, and biotechnological methods would enable the purposeful design of enzymes that are more efficient and suitable for biomass processing.
