“…Consequently, fluctuations in the crack propagation pathway from straight, conventional and unruffled growth were observed in the epoxy nanocomposites. Comparative results were also reported in the literature, where incorporation of nano oil palm ash particles in the epoxy matrix displayed similar SEM images (Abdul Khalil et al 2010). Figure 7 shows the tensile fractured surface of 1% nano OPEFB/epoxy nanocomposites having the crack propagation from up to down.…”

The aim of this research was to fabricate epoxy nanocomposites by utilizing the developed nano filler from oil palm mills agricultural wastes oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fibers for advanced applications. Epoxy-based polymer nanocomposites were prepared by dispersing 1, 3, and 5 wt. % nano OPEFB filler by using a high speed mechanical stirrer through hand lay-up technique. The mechanical (tensile and impact) properties and morphological properties of nano OPEFB/epoxy nanocomposites were examined and compared. Morphological properties were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to look at the dispersion of the nano OPEFB filler in the epoxy matrix. The tensile and impact properties of nanocomposites increased until 3% nano filler loading, but beyond 3% they decreased. Overall mechanical properties reached maximum values for 3% loading, due to better stress transfer owing to homogenous dispersion of nano OPEFB filler within epoxy matrix. The observed results were also confirmed by SEM and TEM micrographs.

“…Borba et al studied the biomass‐based carbon block filler reinforced epoxy composite, and their mechanical and thermal properties were analyzed. Carbon black filled composites possessed excellent flexural strength and thermal stability . Patricia Borba et al focused Nanoparticle (Montmorillonite clay) addition to Curaua fiber reinforced with styrene‐butadiene‐styrene triblock copolymer, and it was prepared by melt mixing method.…”

This article deals with the usage of tamarind seed filler (TSF) as reinforcement in vinyl ester (VE) composites. The composite plates have been fabricated by compression molding machine with TSFs of varying wt% from 5 to 50 as reinforcement material, and their properties such as tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, water absorption, heat deflection tests, and thermogravimetric analysis are studied. The mechanical properties of TSF reinforced VE composites are optimum at 15 wt% filler. The tensile strength and flexural strength of TSF‐VE composites are estimated to be around 34.1 and 121 MPa, respectively. The better impact strength of TSF‐VE composites is found to be 14.02 kJ/m2, and barcol hardness can hold a value up to 42.33. Thermo gravimetric analysis and heat deflection test of TSF reinforced VE composite have improved the thermal stability. The fiber matrix interaction of the fractured mechanical testing specimen has been analyzed by scanning electron microscope. The TSF‐VE composites are used to fabricate the wheel hubcap of heavy‐duty buses, bus seat backrest cover, and silencer guard of the motorcycle. J. VINYL ADDIT.

“…However, this notion is not scientifically proven and somewhat contradicted by the findings shown in Table 1. According to Khalil et al [29], the activated carbon yield is lower at activation temperatures >700 o C because KOH may catalyze the oxidation reactions. As a result, the outer surface carbon atoms are oxidized leading to the formation of pores.…”
