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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Static and dynamic mechanical properties of barkcloth (Ficus Natalensis)-reinforced epoxy composite

Rwawire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka (Taylor and Francis, 2016-03-21)

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed in 2005 that Ugandan barkcloth largely produced from mutuba tree (Ficus natalensis) as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible ...
Thermal, Static, and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Bark Cloth (Ficus brachypoda) Laminar Epoxy Composites

Rwawire, Samson; Tomkova, Blanka (Society of Plastics Engineers, 2015)

Bark cloth is a natural nonwoven fibrous fabric produced in Uganda from three species of trees: Ficus natalensis, Ficus brachypoda, and Antiaris toxicaria.” The recently developed bark cloth composites has created a new ...
