The aim of the present work is to develop novel hybrid composites using areca, kenaf, and snake grass fibers as reinforcement epoxy matrix. were extracted from Catechu Linnaeus, Hibiscus cannabinus, Sansevieria Ehrenbergii plants, respectively, treated with 5% NaOH improve interfacial adhesion between hydrophilic fiber hydrophobic Hybrid developed by compression molding technique formulated bas...

In this work, raw fibers of a local species of stabraq (milkweed) were scoured, bleached and blended with cotton fibers with a ratio of 75/25 (cotton/stabraq). The improved stabraq fibers, scoured and bleached cotton and the blended fibers were spun into fine yarns and then they were subjected to dyeing with two types of reactive dyes namely, cold brand and high exhaustion brand reactive dye at...

The involvement of pulmonary circulation in the mechanical properties was studied in isolated rat lungs. Pulmonary input impedance (ZL) was measured at a mean transpulmonary pressure (Ptpmean) of 2 cmH2O before and after physiological perfusion with either blood or albumin. In these lungs and in a group of unperfused lungs, ZL was also measured at Ptpmean values between 1 and 8 cmH2O. Airway re...

BACKGROUND Biomass refining into multiple products has gained considerable momentum due to its potential benefits for economic and environmental sustainability. However, the recalcitrance of biomass is a major challenge in bio-based product production. Multilevel composition fractionation processes should be beneficial in overcoming biomass recalcitrance and achieving effective conversion of mu...
