Improving the mechanical and physical properties of bio-composite materials involves incorporation plant fibers such as Jute, Hemp, Kenaf, Ramie, Sisal, Linen, etc. The existence Diss grass (Ampelodesmos mauritanicus) in abundance east Algeria especially Khenchela region taking into account their resistance low density, which justifies choice use composite materials. Tensile hardness tests for ...

Over the last decades, there has been a growing attention in research and development on non-conventional building materials, such as vegetable fibers (e.g., flax; hemp; jute; etc.), to be used eco-friendly materials wide range of applications civil construction. The main reasons this interest are related specific properties, price sustainability natural fibers, which can considered “green” mat...

Despite its cultivation as a source of food, fibre and medicine, and its global status as the most used illicit drug, the genus Cannabis has an inconclusive taxonomic organization and evolutionary history. Drug types of Cannabis (marijuana), which contain high amounts of the psychoactive cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), are used for medical purposes and as a recreational drug. Hemp ty...

In this present study, the hybrid criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation (CRITIC) and multiplicative exponent weighting (MEW) optimization approach is applied to problem of selecting an optimal brake friction formulation that satisfies maximum performance requirements. Automotive composites containing 5, 10, 15, 20 weight percentages natural fibers (hemp, ramie, pineapple) were ...

The demand for products of high nutritional value from sustainable sources is growing rapidly in the global food market. In this study, the effect of pH on the functional properties of lupin, green pea, fava bean, hemp, and buckwheat flours was investigated and compared with wheat flour. Functional properties included solubility, emulsifying and foaming properties, gelling ability, and water ho...

Deferne, J.L. and D. W. Pate, 1996. Hemp seed oil: A source of valuable essential fatty acids. Journal of the International Hemp Association 3(1): 1, 4-7. Interest in Cannabis has largely focused on its content of psychoactive substances (cannabinoids) or its potential industrial use as a source of cellulose fibre. While the whole seed has long been used as a source of food, its potential healt...

The genus Cannabis (Family Cannabaceae) is probably indigenous to wet habitats of Asiatic continent. The long coexistence between mankind and Cannabis led to an early domestication of the plant, which soon showed an amazing spectrum of possible utilizations, as a source of textile fibers, as well as narcotic and psychoactive compounds. Nowadays, the specie(s) belonging to the genus Cannabis are...

The method described in the present work was assessed through the production of composite materials made of polypropylene reinforced with chemical thermomechanical pulp of hemp core fibers. Composite materials were obtained by extrusion and injection molding, and by the addition of a coupling agent to ensure a good interphase between fiber and matrix. In all cases, the composite materials were ...
