Abstract:
Natural fibers, sourced from renewable plant and animal origins, have garnered increasing attention due to their sustainability, biodegradability, and advantageous mechanical properties. Their performance characteristics are strongly influenced by chemical composition, crystalline structure, and environmental factors throughout growth and processing. In plant-based fibers, cellulose serves as the primary structural component, while protein-based fibers rely on complex protein chains. This structural diversity directly impacts tensile strength, elasticity, moisture absorption, and thermal stabi

Abstract:
The use of natural plant fibers as reinforcing fillers in fiber-polymer composites has drawn much interest in recent years. Natural plant fibers as reinforcing fillers have several advantages over inorganic fillers such as glass fibers; they are abundant, readily available, renewable, inexpensive, biodegradable, of low density, and of high specific strength. Hemp fibers are one of the most attractive natural plant fibers for fiber-reinforced composites because of their exceptional specific stiffness.

Abstract:
Plant fibers are being increasingly explored for their use in engineering polymers and composites, and many works have described their properties, especially for flax and hemp fibers. Nevertheless, the availability of plant fibers varies according to the geographical location on the planet. This study presents the first work on the mechanical properties of a tropical fiber extracted from the bast of Cola lepidota (CL) plant. After a debarking step, CL fibers were extracted manually by wet-retting. The tensile properties are first identified experimentally at the fibers scale, and the analysis

Abstract:
Research on plant-fiber-reinforced composites has gained significant research interest since it generates composites with exceptional mechanical properties; however, the potential of hemp fibers can only be fully exploited if the fibers are well separated from the bundle to achieve cellulose-rich fibers. This is because well-separated bast fibers that are long and exhibit higher fiber aspect ratio enhance the mechanical properties of the composite by influencing property translations upon loading. A key feature for successful implementation of natural fibers is to selectively remove non-cellul

We investigate the mechanical and thermal properties of a composite structure manufactured from polypropylene matrix reinforced with marine waste fibers, Posidonia oceanica.

Moreover, it enhances the mechanical properties of the whole composite without any need of compatibilizers due to its hydrophobicity. Finally, apart from the mechanical performances, we demo

Abstract:
Natural plant fibers compared to glass fibers can provide a cost effective, lightweight and carbon negative reinforcement for polymer composites. However, the current commercial fiber extraction process induces defects including middle lamellae weakening during retting and kink bands during mechanical working. This leads to high variability in mechanical properties, making these fibers less favorable for structural applications at industrial scale. The aim of current research is to reduce this variability by studying the underlying mechanisms of natural fiber extraction to minimize fiber damag

Abstract:
Natural plant fibers have unequivocally contributed economic prosperity and sustainability in our daily lives. Particularly, bamboo fibers have been used for industrial applications as diverse as textiles, paper, and construction. Recent renewed interest in bamboo fiber (BF) is primarily targeted for the replacement or reduction in use of glass fiber from nonrenewable resources. In this project, various mechanical, chemical, and biological approaches for the preparation and separation of bamboo fibers from raw bamboo are summarized. In this work the mechanical properties of Bamboo Fiber Reinfo

Abstract:
Steel fibers are typically used in ultra-high performance concretes (UHPC) to impart flexural ductility and increase fracture toughness. However, the mechanical properties of the steel fibers are underutilized in UHPC, as evidenced by the fact that most of the steel fibers pull out of a UHPC matrix largely undamaged during tensile or flexural tests. This research aims to improve the bond between steel fibers and a UHPC matrix by using steel wool. The underlying mechanism for fiber-matrix bond improvement is the reinforcement of the matrix tunnel, surrounding the steel fibers, by steel wool. Si

Abstract:
Corrosion of commonly used steel reinforcements weakens the structural strength of concrete. To address this issue, research was conducted on concrete reinforcements in the form of polymer fibers. These polymer fibers need concrete bonding ability and good mechanical properties. This study investigates core-shell fibers produced from polyketone and polypro pylene mixed with a compatibilizer. The core-shell fibers were produced by coextrusion and drawing. The fibers were analyzed by tensile tests, a single fiber pull-out test, contact angle measurements, scanning electron microscopy, and thermo

Abstract:
Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) represents the next generation of concrete, with a strength 3-4 times greater than traditional concrete (100-120 MPa as opposed to 30-40 MPa). However, most of the commercial UHPC mixes are proprietary and expensive. In this project, we document the development of nonproprietary, cost-effective UHPC mixes primarily using locally sourced or pre-qualified materials in Illinois. The research utilizes the modified Anderson and Andreasen packing model to establish a new parameter: “packing factor” that has a significant influence on the design and performance

With growing environmental concerns about using conventional plastics in daily life, the demand for bio-based polymer products is increasing. Natural and biodegradable raw materials are alternatives for making plastic products more sustainable. Cellulose-based fibers have gained attention in preparing biodegradable polymer composites because of their biodegradable nature, bio-based origin, low cost and low weight compared to synthetic fibers (glass and carbon). In this research, hybrid fillers based on cellulose and hydrotalcite were used in biodegradable polymers such as in PLA and blend of P

Abstract:
Cracks and their formations in concrete structures have been a common and long-lived problem, mainly due to the intrinsic brittleness of the concrete. Concrete structures, such as rigid pavement and bridge decks, are prone to deformations and deteriorations caused by shrinkage, temperature fluctuation, and traffic load, which can affect their service life. Rehabilitation of concrete structures is expensive and challenging—not only from maintenance viewpoints but also because they cannot be used for services during maintenance. It is critical to significantly improve the ductility of concrete t
