In the present research, the physical, mechanical, and thermal characteristics of bio and synthetic basalt fabric epoxy composites reinforced with coir microparticles and TiC nanofillers under before and after exposure of accelerated weathering were investigated. All the bio and synthetic epoxy hybrid composites were exposed to humidity, elevated temperature, and ultraviolet radiation.It has been examined that both bio and synthetic epoxy composites exhibited reduced mechanical characteristics after the exposure of accelerated weathering when compared with before exposure. The wettability experiment was performed from the contact angle evaluation method and found that all the fabricated samples before and after the exposure of accelerated weathering have contact angle value lower than 90 that is assigned with the hydrophilic surface characteristics of the laminate. The water absorption capacity showed that all the bio and synthetic epoxy composites reacted for water absorption up to 45 days and then endured constant in both conditions. After the exposure of accelerated weathering, epoxy hybrid composites absorbed more water than before exposure. The chemical modifications possessed on the surface were evaluated from Fourier transform infrared spectra. The intensity of hydroxyl and carbonyl functional groups of bio and synthetic epoxy hybrid composites decreased compared with the original samples, which tends to decrement in tensile, flexural, and impact characteristics of the laminate. The production of more fracture lines on the cross-sectional surface of epoxy hybrid composites

A new series of polyurea derivatives and its nanocomposites were synthesised by the solution polycondensation method through the interaction between 4(2-aminothiazol-4-ylbenzylidene)-4-(tert-butyl) cyclohexanone and diisocyanate compound in pyridine. The PU 1-3 structure was confirmed using Fourier transform-infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and characterised by solubility, viscometry, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. In addition, PU 1-3 was evaluated by TGA. Polyurea-TiO 2 nanocomposites were synthesised using the same technique as that of PU 1-3 by adding TiO 2 as a nanofiller. The thermal properties of PU 2 TiO 2 ad were evaluated by TGA. Moreover, the morphological properties of a selected sample were examined by SEM and TEM. In addition, PU 1-3 and PU 2 TiO 2 ad were examined for antimicrobial activity against certain bacteria and fungi. The PU 1-3 showed antibacterial activity against some of the tested bacteria and fungi, as did PU 2 TiO 2 ad , which increased with the increase in TiO 2 content. Furthermore, molecular docking studies were displayed against all PU 1-3 derivatives against two types of proteins. The results show that the increase in the strength of π-H interactions and H-donors contributed to improved binding of PU2 compared to PU1 andPU 3. The docking of 1KZN against the tested polymers suggests an increase in the docking score of PU 2, then PU 1 , and PU 3 , which is in agreement with the antibacterial study.
