“…Wang et al studied abutilon-fiber-reinforced poly(lactic acid) and found that the natural fiber of abutilon has outstanding energy absorbing properties, making it suitable for industrial applications [ 7 ]. A few researchers had carried out on hybridization of palm oil fiber and kenaf [ 8 , 9 ] and embarked on the mechanical properties of the composites. Hanan et al studied the mechanical properties of hybrid composites by reinforcing the oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) and kenaf fiber mats with epoxy matrix [ 8 ].…”

Adequate awareness of sustainable materials and eco-legislation have inspired researchers to identify alternative sustainable and green composites for synthetic fiber-reinforced polymer composites in the automotive and aircraft industries. This research focused on investigating the physical, mechanical, and morphological properties of different hybrid Cyrtostachys renda (CR)/kenaf fiber (K) (10C:0K, 7C:3K, 5C:5K, 3C:7K, 0C:10K) reinforced with 0.5 wt% MWCNT–phenolic composites. We incorporated 0.5 wt% of MWCNT into phenolic resin (powder) using a ball milling process for 25 h to achieve homogeneous distribution. The results revealed that CR fiber composites showed higher voids content (12.23%) than pure kenaf fiber composites (6.57%). CR fiber phenolic composite was more stable to the swelling tendency, resulting in the lowest percentage of swelling rate (4.11%) compared to kenaf composite (5.29%). The addition of kenaf fiber into CR composites had improved the tensile, flexural, and impact properties. The highest tensile and flexural properties were found for weight fraction of CR and kenaf fiber at 5C:5K (47.96 MPa) and 3C:7K (90.89 MPa) composites, respectively. In contrast, the highest impact properties were obtained for 0C:10K composites (9.56 kJ/m2). Based on the FE-SEM image, the CR fiber lumen was larger in comparison to kenaf fiber. The lumen of CR fiber was attributed to higher void and water absorption, lower mechanical properties compared to kenaf fiber. 5C:5K composite was selected as an optimal hybrid composite, based on the TOPSIS method. This hybrid composite can be used as an interior component (non-load-bearing structures) in the aviation and automotive sectors.

“…Preparation of the kenaf-OPF hybrid PHB biocomposite plate required two steps, PHB film and NF preparation. Previous research has developed various specific biocomposites in terms of mechanical properties, which determined the best layer arrangement for hybrid biocomposites [103]. The tensile and flexural test of woven kenaf bast fibre/oil palm empty fruit bunches (KBFw/EFB) hybrid reinforced PHB biocomposite with 11 layers revealed that this sample has the capability to replace with some wood and woody production as non-structural building materials.…”

Conventional building materials (CBMs) made from non-renewable resources are the main source of indoor air contaminants, whose impact can extend from indoors to outdoors. Given their sustainable development (SD) prospect, green building materials (GBMs) with non-toxic, natural, and organic compounds have the potential to reduce their overall impacts on environmental and human health. In this regard, biocomposites as GBMs are environmentally friendly, safe, and recyclable materials and their replacement of CBMs reduces environmental impacts and human health concerns. This study aims to develop a model of fully hybrid bio-based biocomposite as non-structural GBMs and compare it with fully petroleum-based composite in terms of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and human health impacts. Using a small chamber test (American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)-D5116) for VOC investigation and SimaPro software modeling with the ReCiPe method for evaluating human health impacts. Life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology is used, and the results indicate that switching the fully hybrid bio-based biocomposite with the fully petroleum-based composite could reduce more than 50% impacts on human health in terms of indoor and outdoor. Our results indicate that the usage of biocomposite as GBMs can be an environmentally friendly solution for reducing the total indoor and outdoor impacts on human health.

“…One of the highlighted green categories (Figure ) belongs to materials that are multi‐attribute within science and engineering territories. In material science, a perfectly green material does not exist, but this term is directly linked to the removal of hazardous materials and ingredients with hazardous physical appearances (IECR, ; Khoshnava, Rostami, Mohammad, & Razak, ). The green product standards were implemented in the market in the 1980s, with rising sustainability concern that was improved in the 1990s.…”

The green term, as the concurrence of opinion between infrastructure and economy, has the ability to integrate natural resources and environmental services into the national income and wealth account. However, the mutual effects of green infrastructure (GI) and green economy (GE) are not always clear. This study aims to develop the influences of GI criteria into the implementation of GE in the context of sustainable development (SD) through using novel hybrid methods: the decisionmaking trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method was used to examine the efficiency and interrelationship among GI criteria; the analytical network process (ANP) was used to prioritize GI criteria based on their influences on three GE indicators; and the remaining two stages applied the hybridization and integration methods, with MATLAB software, to finalize the results. Results from the hybridization method showed that the weights of the GI criteria differed based on three GE indicators.Affordability is a prime GI criteria at 61% based on the socio-economic indicator.However, this prime weight was at 43% based on the eco-environment indicator, and at 32% based on resource efficiency plus 31% based on socio-environment indicator. The final results were finalized with integration method, which demonstrated the contribution GI criteria made to GE implementation. The highest weight percentages appertained to affordability (61%) and resource efficiency (21%), while the minority weight of 18% went to the rest of the GI criteria. Primarily, the affordability and resource efficiency categories were found to empower green infrastructure for the implementation of green economy in the SD context.
