TL;DR: Sisal fibers were employed as cost-effective adsorbent material to remove methylene blue (MB) and reactive black 5 (RB5) dyes from aqueous solutions as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Sisal fibers were employed as cost-effective adsorbent material to remove methylene blue (MB) and reactive black 5 (RB5) dyes from aqueous solutions. The fibers were characterized and the effects o...

TL;DR: In this paper, a manufacturing process that allows to obtain good quality unidirectional biocomposites with fiber volume fraction up to 70% is proposed, which can advantageously substitute not only materials as steel, aluminum and glass fiber reinforced plastics, but also other materials reinforced by more expensive fibers.

TL;DR: In this article, a new natural fiber okra was introduced for the preparation of okra fiber reinforced polyester (FRP) composites, which showed tensile strength, modulus of 154.17%, 114.13%, and specific tensile properties of 12.26%, 129.82% higher than that of the pure polyester specimen, respectively.
Abstract: Increasing the needs for different engineering applications invite the development of new materials. In the present research new natural fiber okra was introduced for the preparation of okra fiber reinforced polyester (FRP) composites. Already established fibers sisal and banana were also extracted for the preparation of sisal and banana FRP composites and to determine tensile properties. The tensile properties of okra FRP composites were compared with sisal and banana FRP composites. Hand lay-up technique was used for the preparation of composites. Chemically treated okra fiber reinforced polyester composites at maximum volume fraction showed tensile strength, modulus of 154.17%, 114.13% and specific tensile strength and modulus of 12.26%, 129.82% higher than that of the pure polyester specimen, respectively.
