The growing demand for lightweight and sustainable materials has prompted the development of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites with multi-functional properties. In this study, hemp fiber/Cassia gum reinforced polyester hybrid composites (HC0–HC5) were prepared by hand lay-up and then compression molding....
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have gained attention as tunable media for fractionating lignocellulosic biomass into cellulose-rich solids, hemicellulose-derived streams, and recoverable lignin. This review examines acidic, neutral, alkaline, amino-acid-based, ternary, cosolvent-assisted, physically intensified, hydroth...
The growing electric vehicle (EV) industry necessitates sustainable material solutions to reduce reliance on petroleum-based plastics. This study investigates lignin-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites for sustainable EV components, focusing on rearview mirror covers. Alkaline lignin (AL) and sodium lignosul...
