Feasibility of elastomeric composites as alternative materials for marine applications: A compendious review on their properties and opportunities
(2022-05-19)
The term elastomer is a curtailment of two words, which are elastic and polymers. Accordingly, elastomers are polymer materials with elasticity. The significant challenges hindering the development of materials for naval ...
Effects of Moisture Absorption and Thickness Swelling Behaviors on Mechanical Performances of Carica Papaya Fiber Reinforced Polymeric Composites
(2022-04-04)
In this study, composite materials were made from Carica papaya fibers (CPFs), as a reinforcing element in polypropylene (PP), polyester (P) and epoxy (E) matrices, using compression molding technique. Experiments were ...
Applicability of angular orientations of gating designs to quality of sand casting components using two-cavity mould set-up.
(2021-10-28)
This study aimed to examine the integrity of two-cavity sand casting products in relation to the angular orientation of gating design. Two angular orientations of 60 and 45 were investigated experimentally and numerically ...
Bio-mediated Synthesis of Nanomaterials for Packaging Applications

Mechanical, interfacial and thermal properties of silica aerogel-infused flax/epoxy composites
(2021-03-09)
The mechanical, interfacial and thermal properties of a flax/epoxy composite incorporated with a silica aerogel (SA) at0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 wt.% were examined in this work. A set of maximum enhancements of 8.7%, 9.0% and 24.0 ...
Experimental and simulation analysis on multi-gate variants in sand casting process
(2021-02-01)
The present work proposes an improved multi-gate designs (MGDs) in sand casting process, using both experimental and simulation (FLOW 3D) approaches, aiming to produce defect-free component. In this regard, the variant ...
Animal fiber characterization and fiber loading effect on mechanical behaviors of sheep wool fiber reinforced polyester composites
(2020-12-06)
This study presents animal fiber characterization and the influence of various fiber loadings on mechanical properties of sheep hair fiber-reinforced polymer (SHFRP) composites. The sheep hair fibers (SHF) characterization ...
Cellulosic fiber based hybrid composites: A comparative investigation into their structurally influencing mechanical properties
(2020-11-25)
This paper focuses on hybrid and twisted hybrid Indian mallow/roselle cellulosic fiber yarn mat reinforced polyester composites and effects of their wood sawdust filler. The composite materials were fabricated using ...
Evaluation of mechanical, thermal and water absorption behaviors of Polyalthia longifolia seed reinforced vinyl ester composites
(2020-11-15)
This study presents a novel utilization of biomass solid waste, named Polyalthia longifolia (Mast tree) seed as a reinforcement in a composite, using a compression molding technique. An attempt was made to reinforce vinyl ...
Applicability of cellulosic-based Polyalthia longigolia seed filler reinforced vinyl ester biocomposites on tribological performance
(2020-10-31)
The focus of this work was to analyze the effect of weight percentage (wt.%) of Polyalthia longigolia seed filler (PLSF) on the wear responses (wear loss and coefficient of friction) of the vinyl ester (VE) matrix composites, ...
