Currently, millions of tires are consumed annually, which necessitates the efficient disposal of these quantities of spent tires and the development of means to convert them into useful materials. This research deals with the effect of adding the ste...

In this study, an analytical model was developed for the local bond degradation behavior between a near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and concrete under fatigue loading. A trilinear local bond stress–slip relationship was...

Personal protective systems widely use aramid textile fabrics, whether in soft or rigid form, to protect against various types of ballistic threats. Ballistic impact refers to a high-velocity impact caused by a thrusting source, often involving a low...

Lightweight concrete (LWC) is a long-standing development in the area of construction materials. LWC has become increasingly important for sustainable construction due to its reduced susceptibility to cracking. However, when exposed to extreme temper...

Global warming and climate change demand rapid and swift action in terms of reducing resource consumption, gas emissions, and waste generation. The textile industry is responsible for a large share of global pollution; therefore, to define a route to...

Piezoelectric sensors convert mechanical stress into electrical charge via the piezoelectric effect, and when fabricated as fibers, they offer flexibility, lightweight properties, and adaptability to complex shapes for self-powered wearable sensors....

Fibers from milkweed, which grows in Quebec (Canada), offer a distinct and outstanding advantage compared to other natural fibers: their ultra-lightweight hollow structure provides excellent acoustic and thermal insulation properties for the automobi...

The lyocell process offers an environmentally friendly strategy to produce regenerated cellulose fibre from biomass. However, it is critical to recover and reuse the N-methyl-morpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) solvent to maximize the environmental benefits an...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of dye obtained from Buddleja coriacea and metallic mordants on the chromatic properties, textile characteristics, spectral profiles, and color stability in alpaca fibers. The dye extraction t...

The scope of our study was to investigate the changes in electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) fiber mats’ morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties in vitro. We electrospun two sets of PLA fiber mats with different average diameters, E6 (747 nm)...
