“…The products of RPs were conducive to decreasing the pollution of the outdoor environment. The reed‐based material production system can be designed with the intention of giving an environmental advantage compared to the conventional systems or materials owing to the extremely low treatment requirements of reed 37 . The biomass materials had less impact on global warming if they were not landfilled after use.…”

The application of non woody biomass materials in the manufacture of wood‐based panels has been confirmed as an efficient carbon sequestration approach. In this study, reed straw was recommended to produce reed‐based particleboards (RPs). Sieving and hydrothermal pre‐treatments were conducted on the inner layer reed particles to reduce the adverse influence of the waxy layer on the mechanical strength of RPs. The thickness swelling rate was merely 1.04% (2 h), and the internal bonding strength could reach up to 0.88 MPa, which met the ISO requirements for heavy‐duty load bearing in dry conditions (P‐HLB REG). More importantly, this study constructed the plate forming process that retains the natural morphological characteristics of reed to the maximum extent. Generally, the mechanical strength of RPs was markedly higher than mostly straw‐based and even wood‐based panels. The static bending strength of RPs could reach 35.6 MPa after sieving pre‐treatment. In addition, according to the LCA, the net carbon flux could reach −1227.55 kg CO2 eq. when producing 1 m3 RPs. The obtained RPs could be utilized as wood substitutes to produce furniture and building materials with promising environmental and economic benefits.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] With the increase in the prices of building materials, including wood, new building components are being developed, the main component of which is recycled and natural materials. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Bio-materials made from renewable resources have recently been developed based on the concepts of bio-economy and low-carbon economy. Renewable raw materials such as pulp and recycled textile fibers are used to produce value-added products such as environmentally friendly thermal insulation materials.…”

The paper deals with the fire technical characteristics of insulation panels made of recycled technical textiles from the automotive industry. The introductory part focuse an of the use of recycled textiles, a description and division of technical textiles, a description of the examined material and its composition, combustion processes, and the method of handling waste textiles. The monitored characteristics were the determination of the ignitability of the material, the gross calorific value as well as the radiant heat resistance. The measurements were carried out on samples from recycled technical textiles before and after their treatment with flame retardants (Isonem Anti-fire Solution, Ecogard B45, HR Prof, woven carbon foil, non-woven carbon foil). The best results in the ignitability test after treatment with liquid flame retardants were obtained after treatment with Ecogard B45. The results show that when flame retardants are used, the released heat during the combustion of the monitored materials treated through the dipping method is significantly lower from 13.7 MJ/kg to 23.7 MJ/kg. The lowest gross calorific values were achieved when using liquid flame retardant HR Prof when applied by dipping. The proportion of material that did not burn was very low (4.61 to 5.63%). After exposure to radiant heat for 10 min, the highest mass loss was 13.6% (dipping in Ecogard B45) and the smallest 1.8% (non-woven carbon foil). Based on results, it shows that flame retardant ECOGARD® B45 for the insulation material Senizol AT XX2 TL60 made from recycled technical textiles is the most suitable fire protection.

“…A bandwidth between 2.33 GHz and 12.4 GHz was achieved and broadly covers the ultrabroadband range from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. Area network, satellite communications, and local area network (for both uplink and downlink) [1] antenna for ultra-wideband applications with SRR using CPW power was developed with Taconic dielectric material with a dielectric constant of 2.33.…”

Ultra-Large Band (UWB) is a radio technology used for the transmission and distribution of radio energy over a wide frequency band with low power spectral density. A newer UWB Microstrip patch antenna is designed using a jute material as a substrate because of its durability and CO2 and water footprint. The ecological impact is relatively small with Cradle to Cradle, biodegradable with 100% compostable, and extremely strong. The jute substrate is reinforced to make it nonflexible and hydrophobic for further better electrical and mechanical properties, and it is treated with the conductive polymer sodium alginate; the results were compared with the raw hydrophilic jute substrate. The proposed antenna design and results were compared with the similar antenna using the FR4 substrate of a dielectric constant of 4.4 and a thickness of 1.6, and the ultra-wideband spectrum range from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. It is used for both uplink and downlink transmission of local area network (LAN), wide area network (WAN), and satellite communications spectrum (SCP). The performance of this network provides a wider bandwidth transmission for the range of 1 to 14 GHz applications.
