“…This is done in order to create a load-transferring contact among the natural fibers and that is effective. Because WPCs are often brittle, toughening agents including such styrene and butadiene rubber (SBR), ethylene-propylene monomers leather (EPDM), or plastic elastomers are frequently included in their composition [19][20][21][22]. Great affection among the wood fiber and the polymer matrix is crucial to enhance the physical characteristics of wood plastic composites.…”

Waste recycling is one of the key aspects in current day studies to boost the country’s circular economy. Recycling wood from construction and demolished structures and combining it with plastics forms wood-polymer composites (WPC) which have a very wide scope of usage. Such recycled composites have very low environmental impact in terms of abiotic potential, global warming potential, and greenhouse potential. Processing of WPCs can be easily done with predetermined strength values that correspond to its end application. Yet, the usage of conventional polymer composite manufacturing techniques such as injection molding and extrusion has very limited scope. Many rheological characterization techniques are being followed to evaluate the influence of formulation and process parameters over the quality of final WPCs. It will be very much interesting to carry out a review on the material formulation of WPCs and additives used. Manufacturing of wood composites can also be made by using bio-based adhesives such as lignin, tannin, and so on. Nuances in complete replacement of synthetic adhesives as bio-based adhesives are also discussed by various researchers which can be done only by complete understanding of formulating factors of bio-based adhesives. Wood composites play a significant role in many non-structural and structural applications such as construction, floorings, windows, and door panels. The current review focuses on the processing of WPCs along with additives such as wood flour and various properties of WPCs such as mechanical, structural, and morphological properties. Applications of wood-based composites in various sectors such as automotive, marine, defense, and structural applications are also highlighted in this review.

“…Through rheological tests on rice seedling stems, Scharenbroch et al [16] concluded that the occurrence of a creep process and the plastic strain were positively correlated with the creep time and initial stress affecting the rice seedling stems. These studies demonstrate that the compression of straw bales is time-dependent [17,18] . However, analytical studies on the post-compression creep properties of tall, thick and hard stalk crops (e.g., reeds) have yet to be reported.…”

Background: Reed has high lignin content, wide distribution and low cost. It is an ideal raw material for replacing wood in the paper industry. Reeds are rich in resources, but the density of reeds is low, leading to high transportation and storage costs. This paper aims to study the compression process of reeds and the creep behaviour of compressed reeds, and provide theoretical guidance for the reed compressor management, bundling equipment and the stability of compressed reed bales.Results: We studied the strain-time relationship and strain of the reed bales compressed under constant force and the creep behaviour of the reed bales under different holding forces. Additionally, the creep behaviour of reed bales under various retention forces was investigated. The test curves are fitted by Machine Learning Prediction Algorithms and Support Vector Machine Regression. And use machine learning prediction algorithm model to establish a quaternary model of reed creep. The results show that the creep behaviour of a reed bale was positively correlated with the initial maximum compressive stress. The established Burgers four-element model was capable of simulating the creep process of reed bales. The test curves coincided well with the model-simulated curves. Reed bales were found to exhibit viscoelasticity. During the creep process, the elastic dynamic force and the viscous resistance were mutually constrained. The strain of reeds was composed of elastic, viscoelastic and plastic εs. And elaborated the three stages of the creep process in detail.Conclusions: We studied the relationship between the strain and time of the reed and the strain and creep behaviour of the reed bag under different holding forces under constant force. It is proved that the multi-layer perceptron network is better than the support vector machine regression in predicting the characteristics of reed materials. The three stages of elasticity, viscoelasticity and plasticity in the process of reed creep are analysed in detail. This article opens up a new way for using machine learning methods to predict the mechanical properties of materials. The proposed prediction model provides new ideas for the characterization of material characteristics.

The global temperature rise is a great alarming factor. The most remarkable contributors are industries and automobiles. Many researchers around the world struggling to find the solution sooner. Many emphasized that solution is required at the earliest possible time, already glaciers in arctic started melting. The majority of them, such as fossil fuels, coal well as others, have been contaminating the immediate area. There is also the option of using renewable energy resources (RERs) that also would be a natural treasure to humanity because of their proximity. Based on a variety of factors, the amount of energy that can be harvested by using RERs is limited, such as seasonal, inadequate equipment, as well as huge collection space. In this article, the emphasis is now on the extent to which other constraints can be utilized. Sectors that produce goods demand enormous amounts of energy, but that energy might indeed not be used in those sectors. As a result, the RERs can sometimes be extensively employed by households and small businesses whose power needs are minimal. As a result, this review has been consolidated in the way of several different test cases.
