“…This effect can be a consequence of the inhibition/ restriction of the relaxation process of the chain segments in the composites or due to an increase in the rigidity of chain segments, increasing material heterogeneity [47] . A higher peak height may be associated to a poor interface [48] . However, in general, it may also be attributed to an increase in the mobility of the polymer chains [35] .…”

“…Natural fibers, acting as reinforcement within composites, offer many advantages including good strength properties, low cost, low density, high toughness, good thermal properties, biodegradability, non-abrasive behavior and widespread availability. However, organic products containing cellulose fibers have several negative characteristics, such as an incompatibility with hydrophobic polymer matrices [27] and a tendency to show little resistance to prolonged moisture. Finite natural lengths and large diameters also limit their potential applications.…”

This research study compares the effect of polypropylene and wool fibers on the mechanical properties of natural polymer based stabilized soils. Biocomposites are becoming increasingly prevalent and this growth is expected to continue within a number of sectors including building materials. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different fiber reinforced natural polymer stabilized soils with regards to mechanical properties and fiber adhesion characteristics. The polymer includes alginate, which is used in a wide range of applications but has not been commonly used within engineering and construction applications. In recent years, natural fibers have started to be used as an ecological friendly alternative for soil reinforcement within a variety of construction applications. Test results in this study have compared the effects of adding natural and synthetic fibers to clay soils and discussed the importance of an optimum soil specification. A correlation between the micro structural analysis using scanning electron microscope (SEM), fiber typology, fiber-matrix bonds and the mechanical properties of the stabilized soils is also discussed.

“…An average size farm in Poland generates about 7 tons of chicken feathers during the year. Annually in Poland 77000 tons of waste is generated (Martinez-Hernandez et al 2007, Górecki et al 2010, Korniłłowicz-Kowalska and Bohacz 2010, Zaghloul et al 2011). …”

Recently, the increased consumption of poultry meat in the EU has been observed. Short cycle of poultry meat production allows adjusting the level of production to demand. With the increase in the meat production the amount of generated waste that has to be disposed because they pose a risk to the environment also increases. The work presents the possibility to produce a mixture of feathers, meat-bone meal and poultry litter that can be used for energy purposes (alternative fuel). Moreover, the composition of the ashes after combustion will be similar to phosphorus-potassium fertilizers offered for sale. The resulting granules are characterized by a calorific value in the range 13.1-13.3 kJg -1. The ash after its combustion contained 11.33-13.38% of phosphorous, 4.94-5.67% of potassium, 31.85-32.69% of calcium and 2.07-2.51% of magnesium. Moreover, the ash contained 0.45-0.46% of iron, 0.10-0.11% of manganese, 0.11-0.14 of zinc and 0.02% of copper. Mineral combusted residue of this type of granules has a low content of heavy metals and can be used as an additive to fertilizers and soil improvers, in order to enrich their composition in valuable macro-and micronutrients.
