Agro-synthetic stabilization of high-plastic clay is trending due to its vital role in sustainable geotechnical construction and maintenance of clay subgrade. Remoulded samples of high plastic clay (C), ameliorated by optimal doses of 1.2% polyester (P) and 0.9% banana (B) at maximum dry density (γdmax) and optimum moisture content (OMC), were subjected to swell potential, unconsolidated undrained (CU) triaxial, consolidation, and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests. The outcome of this research presents that the use of an optimal clay-polyester-banana (CPB) mix enhanced the secant elastic modulus (E50), peak strength (Sp), and CBR by 2.5, 2.43, and 2.7 times, respectively; increased E50/Cc increased from 12.29 to 53.75 MPa; and lowered the swell potential by 48% and compression index (Cc) by 42.8%. It was also observed that the increase in moisture content (mc) of the optimal CPB mix from 20% (unsaturated phase) to 32% (wet phase) decreased Sp from 212 kPa to 56 kPa and E50 from 8.42 MPa to 2.16 MPa, whereas Cc was increased from 0.16 to 0.26, depicting the potential use of the CPB mix as a stable and sustainable geotechnical material even in wet seasons. Novel correlations are developed for the prediction of Cc from mc, E50, and Sp for an optimal CPB mix to achieve sustainable geotechnical systems and designs in sustainable geo-environmental engineering.

“…The higher air permeability of the sample with a higher banana fiber percentage is attributed to the lower density and hollow structure of the banana fiber. 19 It was also observed that the nonwovens made from the chemical bonding technique had higher air permeability values compared to nonwovens made from the needle punching technique. It may be due to the bulk and porous structure of the chemical bonded nonwovens.…”

In this research, the needle punched and chemical bonded nonwovens were developed by blending banana fiber and recycled polyester (r-PET) in three blend ratios (90% banana/10% r-PET, 70% banana/30% r-PET, 50% banana/50% r-PET). The developed nonwovens were characterized by thermal insulation and biodegradation properties. Results showed that all developed nonwovens have an excellent insulation performance; the thermal resistance value is in the range of 0.299 to 0.248 m2/KW. It was observed that nonwovens made from 90% banana/10% r-PET have better thermal insulation compared to other blend ratios in both techniques. It was also observed that the chemical bonded nonwovens had a 6.69% higher thermal resistance value compared to the needle punched nonwovens. A bi-layer hybrid structure made with chemical bonded nonwoven and needle punched nonwoven provided a thermal resistance value of 0.43 m2/KW. The chemical bonded nonwovens showed lower biodegradation compared to needle punched nonwovens.

The demand for hygienic nonwovens has increased, especially since 2020. As expected, the market for nonwovens showed an increase during the COVID-19 outbreak, especially in the medical and hygienic nonwovens sector. The aim of this study is to analyse the influence of the permeability properties of hygienic nonwovens that have been mechanically, chemically, and thermally bonded. Hygienic nonwovens are lightweight (from 20 to 120 g/m2), produced by carding (roller carding), and are bonded using three different bonding processes (mechanical, thermal, and chemical). Hygienic nonwovens are intended for protective clothing in hospitals. For the experimental part, the seven different nonwovens used for hygienic purposes were produced using the dry laying process. The samples were produced in Tosama, a factory for sanitary supplies. The research results show that the nonwoven bonding processes have a significant influence on the structural, mechanical, and permeability properties.
