“…A triangular barbed needle of double reduction type was employed for fabricating the needle punched banana fiber (NPBF) fabric due to the soft nature of the fiber. 47 Regular barb (RB) spacing was selected for this study, and hence, it implied an evenly spacing of 9 barbs on a blade of ≈ 30 mm in length. The number of fibers that could be collected in the barbs of a needle can be calculated by using the formula (1)…”

The purpose of this work is to fabricate and analyse a light weight, recyclable, and non-toxic natural fiber reinforced industrial safety helmet. The fibers were extracted from agro-waste pseudostem of nendran variety banana plant. A facile needle punching technique was employed on banana fibers to produce a needle punched non-woven banana fiber fabric of enhanced mechanical properties without any chemical treatment. Subsequently, the needle punched banana fibers were impregnated with general purpose helmet grade polyester resin in an ISI (Indian standards Institute) endorsed mold to fabricate a needle punched banana fiber helmet (NPBFH). Similarly, 30 mm random banana fiber helmet (RBFH) and glass fiber reinforced helmets (RGFH) were fabricated. The fabricated helmets of 10–50 wt. % fiber content were tested as per ISI standards. The results show that the better properties were achieved at 40 wt. % of fiber content for all varieties of helmets. Significantly, the results revealed that the shock absorption, penetration resistance, and water absorption of NPBFH are 245 kgf, 4.75 mm, and 0.61%, respectively, which is much better than RBFH and comparable with RGFH. This study concluded that the NPBFH (40 wt. %) can be a potential replacement of synthetic fiber reinforced helmets for industrial applications.

“…79,171 In addition, nonwoven materials are cost-effective, high productivity, and have outstanding physical and mechanical properties which enable the fabrication of products with unique properties for multiple applications. 172 Ortega et al, 173 fabricated highly capable nylon nonwoven sorbent for oil-water separation via the spunbond method. The results showed that the sorbent has the ability to absorb >26 times its mass in high-viscosity oil (gear oil) and >16 times its mass in lowviscosity oil (crude oil).…”

Oil sorbents play a significant role in the treatment processes of oil spills, therefore, enhancing the oil-water separation capacity of sorbents has been charming the consideration of scientific researchers. To improve the properties of oil sorption and simplify the process of oil recovery, many advanced oil sorbent devices have been projected recently. Different types of materials are used as sorbents for oil-water separation, however, up to now, there is no review paper focused on textile (woven, knitting, and nonwoven) sorbents, and compared with them. In this review paper, the classification of textile fabrics, properties of surface wetting, fabrication methods of textile sorbents for oil spill cleanup, their properties, and recent applications in the field of oil cleanup are studied. We believe this review can serve as an essential reference for the formation of textile sorbents, their properties, and their applications in the field of oil spill cleanup.

“…According to Bonneau et al (2017), a good PCB should: (i) exclude the oil palm 2 pollinating weevil, Elaeidobius kamerunicus, which is strongly attracted to the scent of the anthesising infloresceces inside bag (Corley and Tinker 2016) so that no contamination occurs from foreign pollen; (ii) be strong enough not to collapse over the inflorescence when wet; and (iii) allow gas exchange without allowing water to accumulate inside the bag which can lead to inflorescence abortion. Recent research in the advancement of PCBs has focused on developing novel nonwoven fabrics with all therefore mentioned properties (Gharaei and Russell 2022), and such PCBs are being increasingly used in breeding of many crops, e.g, Gitz et al (2015) in sorghum, Clifton Brown et al (2018) in sugar beet, wheat, Arabidopsis, and Miscanthus; Vogel et al (2014), Adhikari et al (2015) and Trammell et al (2020) in grasses.…”

Oil palm hybridisation requires the isolation of inflorescences with pollination control bags (PCBs) for which polyester duraweb® PCBs are used at the Dami Oil Palm Research Station in Papua New Guinea. For widening the choices of nonwoven PCBs we compared the performance of PCBs from three new types of nonwoven fabrics with the standard duraweb® PCB on 9-year-old clonal palms in one of the Dami SUPERFAMILY® seed gardens. The station typically experiences a humid climate and received weekly total rainfall ranging from 53 to 228 mm (total rainfall 1035 mm) during the reproductive phase in March and April 2020, when the trial was conducted. Analyses of variance of a number of traits such as time taken to install the bags, bag intactness, spine damage and water absorption of bags, bunch weight, healthy and total seed number and weight, seed health score, and 100-seed weight were all non-significant. The average number of healthy seeds per bunch was 1120 seeds with mean weight of 376 g per 100 seeds. Blank pollinations showed equal pollen-proofing ability among all bags without any noticeable insect entry. This study, for the first time, has identified three other nonwoven fabric PCBs with no statistical differences from the control duraweb® bags for most of the important traits, and provides new alternatives to reduce the dependency on only one type of fabric which, when in short supply, could adversely affect the plant breeding and seed production programmes.
