Bast fibers are defined as those obtained from the outer cell layers of bast various plant families. They finding use in textile applications and widely used reinforcements for green composites, perceived "sustainable". There is a growing demand across world due to their renewable biodegradable nature. The mainly composed cellulose, which potentially considers techniques, harvesting extraction processes most produce with appropriate quality apply daily lives modern men women contemporary society. This review paper looks at many aspects natural fibers, focus on including impact prehistoric historical shows that competitive compared man-made applications, but variability mechanical properties low tenacity may limit high-strengthh composites extend to, particularly aerospace, automotive, packaging, building industries, insulation, E-composites (Eco composites), geotextiles other currently being explored. Considering, important characteristics include physical, mechanical, chemical properties. makes one classes reinforcing agents thermosetting/thermoplastic polymer matrices. And effect reinforcement ECO-composites, GREEN-composites, BIO-composites, lightweight composites. play an role sustainability, preservation health environment, well-being next generation, even world.

Sustainable Solution for Plastic Pollution: Upcycling Waste Polypropylene Masks for Effective Oil-Spill Management

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 24(15), P. 12368 - 12368

The use of Polypropylene PP in disposable items such as face masks, gloves, and personal protective equipment has increased exponentially during after the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing significantly to microplastics nanoplastics environment. Upcycling waste provides a useful alternative traditional thermal mechanical recycling techniques. It transforms into products, minimizing its impact on Herein, we synthesized an oil-sorbent pouch using PP, which comprises superposed microporous fibrous thin films spin coating. exhibited super-fast uptake kinetics reached saturation fewer than five minutes with high oil value 85 g/g. Moreover, it displayed reusability was found be effective absorbing up seven times when mechanically squeezed between each cycle, demonstrating robust oil-sorption capabilities. This approach offers potential solution for managing plastic while promoting circular economy.
