This study examined spectroscopic, thermal, and other qualities, such as the lasing parameters, of Sm3+-doped glass with the composition 40P2O5–30ZnO–20LiCl–10BaF2. The ellipsometric data were used in a Sellmeier dispersion relation...

Many adsorbent materials are being studied for dye and oil removal from the environment. Bio-based materials such as silk are promising candidates due to their enhanced affinity for dyes and intrinsic hydrophobicity. This work extensively studies var...

Glass fibre reinforcements form the backbone of the composites industry. Today, glass fibre products account for more than 95% of the fibre reinforcements used in the composites industry. Since the first commercialisation of glass fibres for composit...

Nanofiber mats with a high surface-to-volume ratio can be prepared by electrospinning. The Porosity is sometimes reported to be tunable by blending different materials, e.g., water-soluble poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with not water-soluble poly(acrylo...

Applying coatings of paraffins and other synthetic waxes is a common approach to impart hydrophobic properties to fibres and thus control their surface characteristics. Replacing these fossil-based products with alternatives derived from renewable re...

This study investigated the mechanical responses and self-healing capability of incorporating superabsorbent polymer (SAP) particles in Fibre-Reinforced Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) mixes under repetitive flexural and sustained tensile load...

This study investigated the tensile behaviors of hemp fiber bundles and examined how properties including tensile strength and Young’s modulus vary with the bundle diameter. Hemp fibers were extracted, degummed, and separated into bundles of di...

Accurate fiber length measurement is essential for the processing and quality management of textile products. This article reviews the current methods used to measure fiber length, including manual, photoelectric, capacitive, and optical techniques....
