Assessment of Polymer Nanocomposite for Packaging Uses and Concerns about Environmental and Health Effects
Abstract: A nanocomposite material is composed of several phases with at least one, two, or three dimensions in the nanoscale range. When material dimensions are lowered to the nanoscale, phase interfaces are created, and they are essential for enhancing the material's characteristics. The surface area to volume ratio of the reinforced material used to create nanocomposites has a direct bearing on how structure and property relate to one another. Due to …

Preparation and Evaluation of Plant-Based Coir Fiber-Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
Abstract: In the present article, unidirectional coir fiber (CF) and alkali-treated CF (ACF) were incorporated in polypropylene (PP) with and without 3-aminopropyl trimethoxy silane (AS) and tetramethoxy orthosilicate (TS) to produce composites by a compression molding technique. The basic properties of PP/CF composites (e.g. tensile strength, tensile modulus, impact strength, and water absorption) have enhanced with increasing CF content. The incorporation of AS and TS after alkali pretreatment for CF composites …

Modified Design Improvement Study and Optimization of a intake Manifold to Obtain Unequal Distribution of Velocity for Optimal Diesel Engine Performance
Abstract: Geometrical design of intake manifold has been found very significant for the better performance of an I.C. Engine. It becomes less effective at the intake manifold's runner's outlets due to an uneven flow distribution of the intake air. With an increase in velocity at the distribution channels, the presented study seeks to make this uneven velocity distribution nearly equal without requiring any additional significant changes to the entrance manifold's construction. …
