Due to population explosion and industrialization, waste biomass and polymer conversion into biofuel has attracted the interest of researchers. The application of the ZSM-5 catalyst for bio-oil upgrading into renewable ...
A Review on Degradation Improvement of Sisal Fiber by Alkali and Pozzolana for Cement Composite Materials
(Taylor & Francis, 2024)
Sisal fiber employment in concrete improves its post-crack strength, but sisal
fiber degrades due to moisture and cement mineralization. Many researchers
used alkaline and pozzolanic techniques to treat sisal fiber in ...
Activated Bentonite for Physical, Mechanical, and Durability Properties of Concrete—A Review
(Wiley, 2024-12)
Bentonite mostly exists in many counties and studies reported employment of activated bentonite in the concrete improves concrete performance more than using raw bentonite. However, it is not well-known which range of ...
