Chemical Treatments to Modify the Surface of Agricultural Waste Fibers as a Green Substitute to Cellulosic Fiber TreatmentBy Haydar U. Zaman, Md. Abu Sayed
Abstract: Scientists are searching for natural elements that can decompose naturally and replace synthetic materials that have not been biodegradable for a while. The automotive, space, furniture, construction, medical, and packaging industries are among the many that use synthetic composite materials. This has resulted in growing interest in biodegradable bio composites. In recent years, a variety of stem fibers, including jute, flax, hemp, and kenaf, have been employed to replace the …

An Investigation of Properties Nanoparticles Reinforced Thermoplastic NanocompositesBy Haydar U. Zaman, Md. Abu Sayed
Abstract: Nanoparticles and nanocomposites find widespread uses in a variety of fields, such as building materials, architecture, optics, food packaging, optoelectronics, semiconductors, medicine, textiles, cosmetics, and catalysis. Compared to their microparticle cousins, polymeric nanocomposites-a unique family of materials-perform better because they blend organic polymers with inorganic nanoparticles. As a result, they ought to improve the domain of engineering applications. Inorganic nanoparticles can significantly alter the properties of a polymer matrix. Flexible …

Physico-Mechanical and Degradation Properties on Agro-Waste Based Polymer Composites Reinforced with Banana Bunch FiberBy Haydar U. Zaman, Md. Abu Sayed
Abstract: The usage of banana bunch fibers in polymer composite parts for the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries is growing. As people grow more aware of the danger of synthetic fibers, banana bunch fibers are being used in an increasing variety of sectors. It is important to recognize that humans depend on the Earth for survival, not the other way around. This understanding drives scientists and policymakers to seek alternatives to …

Investigations into the Features and Attributes of Low-Density Polyethylene/Thermoplastic Sago Starch CompositesBy Haydar U. Zaman, Md. Abu Sayed
Abstract: Low-density polyethylene, the material used to make most plastic shopping bags, has a considerable negative impact on the environment. It is enough intriguing for a substance to decay, develop for whatever reason (hydrolysis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc.), and be exposed to the elements. Sodium trimetaphosphate was used in this experiment to treat sago starch. Using additives (glycerol/urea, 1% benzophenone, and epolene wax) in the same amount of starch, sago starch was …
