The need to develop and commercialize materials containing vegetal fibers has grown in order to reduce environmental impact and reach sustainability. Large amounts of lignocellulosic materials are generated around the world ...

Composites made from a stryrene/unsaturated polyester thermoset matrix and woodflours from different wood species have been prepared and tested. Pine (Pino Eliottis), eucaliptus (Eucaliptus Saligna) and marmelero (Ruprechia ...

The growing environmental concerns and depletion of fossil fuels resulted in an increased interest in environmentally friendly materials based on natural polymers. Efforts are being made to introduce the lignin in plastic ...

Second-generation biofuel production is in high demand, but lignocellulosic biomass’ complexity impairs its use due to the vast diversity of enzymes necessary to execute the complete saccharification. In nature, lignocellulose ...

Lignocellulosic fibers from green coconut fruit were treated with alkaline solution (NaOH 10% m/v) and then bleached with sodium chlorite (NaClO(2)) and acetic acid (CH(3)COOH). Alkali-treated and bleached fibers were mixed ...

One of the most important factors for the civil construction sector is the reduction of environmental impacts in all construction phases. Among the possible guidelines for reducing environmental impacts is the use of ...

This work physically, mechanically, and chemically characterized the composites produced from Portland CP II-E32 cement and fresh Indian cedar wood particles previously treated by immersion in hot and cold water. Density ...
