Physico-Mechanical Performance of Waste Plant Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites for Automotive ApplicationsBy Haydar U. Zaman, Ruhul A. Khan
Abstract: To maximize the interfacial bond strength, it is necessary to investigate the direct relationship between the degree of fiber-matrix adhesion and the mechanical and fracture behavior of composites. In this work, the strength of the interfacial bond between polypropylene (PP) and waste plant fiber (Dharose plant fiber, DF) that have been subjected to ultraviolet radiation (UV) was established. By using hot press molding, unidirectional composites of PP with dharose plant …

Study on Mechanical and Physical Properties of Wood-Plastic Nanocomposites after Fiber Surface TreatmentBy Haydar U. Zaman, Ruhul A. Khan
Abstract: Numerous composites based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE), wood flour (WF), and nanoclay (Cloisite 30B) were prepared by melt compounding followed by injection mold. This paper aims to evaluate the feasibility of using HDPE and underutilized WF as a material for the development of woodplastic composites, as well as the strengthening effect of nanoclay on them. To develop the poor interfacial interaction between the hydrophilic WF and hydrophobic HDPE matrix, as …

A Review on Potential Uses and Characterization of Okra Fiber Reinforced Polymer CompositesBy Haydar U. Zaman, Ruhul A. Khan
Abstract: The environment, ecology, and new rules from the government agencies are major concerns in the quick-paced society. As a result, scientists and researchers are searching for natural fiber reinforced composites that are biodegradable and renewable. Natural fibers have undeniable advantages over synthetic fibers, including low density, equivalent strength, non-toxicity, low cost, and minimal waste disposal issues. The possible uses of natural fibers have been thoroughly investigated by researchers. But in …

Organically Modified Peanut Shell Flour-Reinforced Polypropylene Nanocomposites: Effect of Fiber Surface Treatment on Basic PropertiesBy Haydar U. Zaman, Ruhul A. Khan
Abstract: Innovative composite ingredients are increasingly being used, particularly in the automotive, aerospace, aviation, and construction industries. Due to the remarkable properties of nanocomposite components, traditional ingredients are being replaced. This study's work focuses on the usage of polypropylene (PP) as polymer matrices and nanoclay and peanut shell flour (PSF) as reinforcing materials. To enhance the mechanical properties of the PP/PSF composites in the present work, PSFs were treated using sodium …

Preparation and Performance Evaluation of LDPE/Rice Starch Blend Composites by Extrusion MethodBy Haydar U. Zaman
Abstract: Discarding synthetic polymers such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) used in food packaging ingredients is today considered a serious ecological threat because they are non-decomposable. The goal of this article is to create a decomposable polymer by incorporating a bio-polymer (starch) into its polymeric matrix. This article focuses on the preparation and characterization of rice starch (RS)-mixed LDPE decomposable polymer. In the first study, the effect of variability of RS content …

Compatibilizing Effect of Modified Polypropylene on the Properties of Polypropylene/Organically Modified Layered Silicate NanocompositesBy Haydar U. Zaman, Ruhul A. Khan
Abstract: In the present research paper, a series of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites containing 3, 5, and 7 wt% of an organically modified layered silicate (OM) were prepared via direct melt mixing in the presence of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (indicated as PP-g-MA, PPMA), and hexamethylenediamine-modified maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (marked as PP-g-HMDA, PPHMDA) as compatibilizing agent at concentration of 10 wt%. Subsequently the influences of the compatibilizer on the morphological, mechanical, …

Influences of Layered Silicate Modification and Compatibilizers on the Properties of Polypropylene NanocompositesBy Haydar U. Zaman
Abstract: In this study, polypropylene (PP) organo-layered silicate nanocomposites based on organo-muscovite (OM) were fabricated using co-rotating twin-screw extruder. Polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (PPMA) and potassium succinate modified polypropylene grafted maleic anhydride (PPKS) were used as a compatibilizer in the nanocomposite system. The influences of layered silicate modification and compatibilizers on the morphological, mechanical, thermal and rheological features of PP/PPMA/OM and PP/PPKS/OM nanocomposites were examined. TEM micrographs were made which showed …
