Comparative Evaluation of Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Composites Reinforced with Woven Fabrics from Sansevieria (Sansevieria trifasciata) Fibres and Banana (Musa sapientum) Fibres

Rwawiire, Samson; Okello, Joe; Habbi, Godfrey (2014)

Globally, sustainable materials that are environmentally friendly and the path towards sustainable develop- ment are needed. Natural plant fi bre utilization in various industries has seen a surge, especially in the ...
Crystal structure changes and weight kinetics of silicon-hexaboride under gamma irradiation dose

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka; Militky, Jiri; Hes, Lubos; Madhukar Kale, Bandu (Elsesevier, 2016)

The desire to mitigate climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions has led to the exploration of plant fibers as alternative materials for various industrial applications, sound absorption inclusive. In this investigation, ...
Development of a biocomposite based on green epoxy polymer and natural cellulose fabric (bark cloth) for automotive instrument panel applications

Rwawiire, Samson; Blanka, Tomkova; Jiri, Militky; Abdul, Jabbar; Bandu, Madhukar Kale (Elsevier, 2015)

Natural fiber reinforced composites have attracted interest due to their numerous advantages such as biodegradability, dermal non-toxicity and with promising mechanical strength. The desire to mitigate climate change due ...
Dyeing and stiffness characteristics of cellulose-coated cotton fabric

Madhukar Kale, Bandu; Wiener, Jakub; Militky, Jiri; Rwawiire, Samson; Mishra, Rajesh; Jabbar, Abdul (Springer Science, 2016)

In this study, the effect of cellulose coating on dyeing and other properties of cotton fabric was investigated. Three different reactive dyes were used for dyeing coated cotton fabric. The effect of cellulose coating ...
Effect of enzyme and plasma treatments of bark cloth from Ficus natalensis:

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka; Weiner, Jakub; Militky, Jiri (Taylor and Francis, 2015)

Bark cloth fabric has been in production in Uganda since the thirteenth century. In a move to preserve its cultural heritage, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed in ...
Effect of Layering Pattern on the Mechanical Properties of Bark Cloth (Ficus natalensis) Epoxy Composites

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka; Militky, Jiri; Madhukar Kale, Bandu; Pruchac, Petr (Taylor and Francis, 2014)

The quest for sustainable materials as a consequence of a global drive to mitigate climate change has led to a focus on natural fiber–reinforced composite materials. In this study, skillful ply angle arrangement of bark ...
Investigation of Sound Absorption Properties of Back Cloth Non woven Fabric and Composites

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka; Gliscinska, Eulalia; Krucinska, Izabella; Michalak, Marina; Militky, Jiri; Jabbar, Abdul (De Gruyter Open, 2015)

The quest for sound-absorbing materials that are not only environmentally friendly, but also sustainable is the foremost reason for natural fibre-acoustic materials. Bark cloth is a natural non-woven fabric that is ...
Modeling and analysis of the creep behavior of jute/green epoxy composites incorporated with chemically treated pulverized nano/micro jute fibers

Jabbar, Abdul; Militky, Jiri; Madhukar Kale, Bandu; Rwawiire, Samson; Nawabb, Yasir; Vijay Baheti, Vijay (Elsesevier, 2016)

This paper reports the creep behavior of alkali treated jute/green epoxy composites incorporated with various loadings (1, 5 and 10 wt%) of chemically treated pulverized jute fibers (PJF) at different envi- ronment ...
Morphological, Thermal, and Mechanical Characterization of Sansevieria trifasciata Fibers

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka (2015)

Sansevieria trifasciata is a common perennial plant which freely grows and widely found in homes, parks, and woodlands. In this research, we studied the morphology using Scanning Electron Microscope and Fourier Transform ...
Prediction of polyester/cotton ring-spun yarn unevenness using adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy inference system

Rwawiire, Samson; Nibikora, IIdephonse; Wandera, Goerge (NC State University, 2014)

Yarn produced from a series of experiments carried out at Southern Range Nyanza Limited (SRNL) in Jinja – Uganda was used in developing an Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model to probe the yarn unevenness ...
Short-term creep of barkcloth reinforced laminar epoxy composites

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka; Wiener, Jakub; Militky, Jiri; Kasedde, Allan; M. Kale, Bandu; Jabbar, Abdul (Elsesevier, 2016)

There is a global surge in the application of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites in various in- dustries. Polymer reinforced composites are faced with dimensional instability during their service life, the ...
Thermo-physiological and comfort properties of Ugandan barkcloth from Ficus natalensis

Rwawiire, Samson; Tomkovaa, Blanka (Taylor and Francis, 2014)

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in 2005 proclaimed that Ugandan barkcloth largely produced from mutuba tree (Ficus natalensis) as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of ...
