The use of synthetic fibers in our daily life is growing continuously; however, the excessive dependence these chemical on petroleum-based chemicals will lead to large consumption non-renewable resources. scarcity oil resources, economic and environmental problems, reliance a few oil-rich countries, predicted depletion Therefore, research development biobased materials reduce fossil fuels have ...

Direct analysis of synthetic fibers under ambient conditions is highly desired to identify the polymer, the finishes applied and irregularities that may compromise its performance and value. In this paper, laser ablation electrospray ionization ion mobility time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LAESI-IMS-TOF-MS) was used for the analysis of synthetic polymers and fibers. The key to this analysis wa...

Environmental awareness today motivates the researchers, worldwide on the studies of natural fiber reinforced polymer composite and cost effective option to synthetic fiber reinforced composites. The availability of natural fibers and ease of manufacturing have tempted researchers to try locally available inexpensive fibers and to study their feasibility of reinforcement purposes and to what ex...
