The escalating global population and subsequent demand for agricultural products have led to a surge in agricultural waste generation, posing significant disposal challenges. Conventional disposal methods such as burning and dumping not only harm the environment but also jeopardize human health and safety. Recognizing the urgent need for sustainable waste management, researchers have increasingly focused on repurposing agricultural plant waste as a valuable resource. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the potential of agricultural plant waste in wealth creation and sustainable development. It highlights the detrimental impacts of current disposal methods and emphasizes the necessity for alternative approaches. By analyzing the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of plant fibers, particularly cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, this review underscores their suitability for diverse applications. Moreover, it explores the emerging trend of utilizing pineapple leaf fiber, a sustainable and lightweight material, in structural applications such as UAV construction. With its exceptional mechanical properties and biodegradability, pineapple leaf fiber holds promise as a viable alternative to traditional materials, contributing to a more sustainable future. In conclusion, this review advocates for a paradigm shift towards embracing agricultural plant waste as a valuable asset for economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. It underscores the importance of continued research and technological advancements to unlock the full potential of agricultural waste in fostering a circular economy and driving sustainable development globally.

“…Cellobiose, a unit that repeats itself consisting of a pair of glucose units and is found in cotton, is a long-chain polymer. The most significant groups in the polymer are the -OH and hydroxymethyl groups (CH2OH), and (Scheme 4) depicts the polymer's chemical structure [11]. And in this study, numerous coating applications for silica aerogels are reviewed.…”

The coating of various textiles, including 3D weft-knitted spacer fabrics (92% polyester -8% spandex), polyester, and cotton, is presently seen to be a great use for silica aerogels (SA). They may impart and improve various attributes to the aforementioned fabrics thanks to their exquisite porous structure, large surface area, and superior permeability. They are primarily created from three different types of precursors, namely water glass (Sodium silicate), alkoxysilanes, and orthosilicates, to produce silica, which has the chemical formula O-Si-O. They follow a conventional sol-gel manufacturing process, going through three stages: gelation, aging, and drying. They are coated onto cloth and give self-cleaning, superamphiphobicity, chemical protection, thermal insulation, and thermal comfort qualities.

“…conventional spectroscopies, do not typically reach the spatial resolution needed for single nano-fiber detection and could only look at composites as quasi-homogeneous materials. 7,8 In the present study, we propose the use of nano-resolved IR microscopy, namely infrared scattering-type scanning near field optical microscopy (IR s-SNOM), supported by micro Attenuated Total Reflection (ATR) Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) imaging, to address the study of a binary fibrous material named Silkothane®. 9 In Silkothane® the combination of natural silk fibroin (SF) and synthetic medical grade polyurethane (PU) proved to be highly suitable for TE applications.…”
