Design and Commercial Validation of a Hierarchical Three-Tier Quality GradingSystem for Post-Industrial and Post-Consumer Recycled Thermoplastic Resins in US Industrial SupplyChains
Abstract: Quality grading systems for recycled thermoplastic resins providing industrial buyers with a standardized, documented quality classification framework for secondary raw material procurement are a foundational requirement for the reliable integration of recycled materials into industrial supply chains. Despite this requirement, no standardized grading scale has been established for post- industrial and post-consumer PP, HDPE, and LDPE resins in industrial supply chain contexts. This paper presents the design, operational implementation, and …

Review on Natural Fiber Composites: Banana/Hemp Fiber and Its Hybrid Composites
Abstract: The centuries ago usage of composites materials plays important role in industrial revolution. In ancient days Egyptians used straw as reinforcement in clay bricks to build house. With the invented of glass fiber and resins, glass fiber reinforced composites found its application in many areas. Abundance nature and moderate specific strength than most of the organic fibers, low density and biodegradable nature make the natural fiber as attractive reinforcement in …

Chemical Synthesis Strategies and Reaction Mechanisms in Self-Healing Polymeric Materials: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Self-healing polymeric materials are one of the most rapidly growing and technologically transformative classes of smart polymeric materials. Such materials offer the ability to autonomously repair damage and retain & restore functional performance. This capability is very important for polymers, which undergo mechanical failure, micro- cracking, delamination, photo-oxidation, or thermal degradation during service environments. The last decade has been remarkable for developments in self-healing polymers, ranging from extrinsic capsule-based approaches …

A Study on Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of Reinforced Composite Developed Using Corn Husk and Glass Fibre
Abstract: With the increasing demand for the disposal of polymer wastes and environmental waste from agriculture/ farming, this research aims to develop composite materials by using glass fibre and corn husk fibres by hand lay-up technique. The fibre from the maize husk was extracted and then overlapped on glass fibre cloth films in regular or irregular orientations. The reinforcement is done with the epoxy resin. The reinforcement and harden matrix are …

Tensile, Flexural and Impact Properties of Luffa Cylindrica and Pineapple Reinforced Polymer Matrix hybrid Composite
Abstract: Composites are emerging as realistic substitutes to the metal alloys in many applications like automobiles, marine, aerospace applications, sports goods, etc. Fiber composites offer many benefits such as low specific gravity, tensile strength and modulus, comprehensive strength, better fatigue strength, etc. Owing to the low specific gravity, the strength weight ratio and modulus weight ratio of these composite materials are markedly superior to those of metallic materials. Composites also afford …
