“…This shows that the incorporation of JF/ESP as partial replacement for the matrix material enhance the resistance of the hybrid composites developed to wear loss, this can be attributed to the addition of the JF/ESP as the second phase. From Table 2 , eggshell shows the presence of calcium and iron, these elements can combine with oxygen to form CaCO 3 and Fe 2 O 3 which are regarded as good reinforcing materials [ 86 ]. At 2 wt.…”

This study evaluates the effect of treated and untreated jute fiber/eggshell particulate reinforced cement-paper matrix composites for ceiling board application. Treated jute fiber (TJF) was obtained by immersing untreated jute fiber (UJF) into 1.25 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution in a shaker water bath maintained at 40 °C for 4 h. Eggshells (ESP) were pulverized and sieved to -75μm. Samples were prepared by varying the fiber volume fraction from 0.5 to 2.5 wt.% in the composites. While other constituents such as the binder (cement) and eggshell were kept constant. An hydraulic press cold compaction molder was utilized in the production of the hybrid composites in a predetermined mix ratio designed based on previous research. The samples produced were cured for 7 and 14 days, then sundried for 36 h. The physical, thermal, mechanical and wear behaviour of the produced composites were evaluated while the surface morphology of the fractured splitting tensile samples were analyzed. The result reveals that TJF/ESP hybrid composites had better performance than UJF/ESP hybrid composites in most of the tests carried out. Increase in the number of curing days was found to also enhance the properties of the composite produced in majority of the test evaluated. The 0.5 wt.% UJF/ESP gave the least performance of all the composites developed. While 2.5 wt. % TJF/ESP showed an optimum properties among the composites tested. When compared with standard, it is concluded that the hybrid composites developed can be suitable for ceiling boards and also find possible application in wall partitioning.

“…This uniformity of distribution is responsible for the ease of transfer of stress throughout the biocomposite sample, hence, the improved tensile stress, flexural strength, young modulus, ductility, water absorptivity. On the other hand, sample X 1-30% has the filler particles not as evenly dispersed through the matrix which might be responsible for it relatively lower performance compared to X 2-10% with respect to the above listed mechanical properties [16] For sample X 1-30% , the particle size (4 mm), however, has a positive influence on the recorded hardness which happens to rank highest overall and also on the compressive strength of the sample [24,26].The poor performance under the other tests can be attributed to two factors: fibre agglomeration and poor fibre-matrix interaction. Interfacial adhesion between the particles and the matrix as well as good particle distribution in the matrix usually imparts good mechanical properties.…”

“…This is by virtue of the hydroxyl group present in abundance due to its cellulosic content. The presence of voids and cracks in the biocomposite can also contribute to the overall amount of water absorbed [11,16]. With more 20% filler content, water absorption became undesirably more prominent.…”

“…Several biomasses have been investigated as fillers in LDPE polymer matrix, these include breadfruit seed coat [13], olive stone [11], snail shell [14] wood fiber [15], palm kernel shell fiber [16], groundnut shell [17]. Recent works also reported other applications of LDPE waste as construction materials in plastic bonded sand block [9], lightweight concrete [18] and hydrophobic surface coating [19].…”

“…The samples with 10% filler content also followed the increasing trend of Young's Modulus with particle size distribution. This increase is attributable to the inclusion of the filler with relatively higher stiffness which tend to stand as obstacle to the movement of dislocation while the load is transferred from the matrix to the filler particles [16]. Particle size X 2 has the highest Young's modulus at 20 and 30% filler contents.…”

Valorization of post-consumer polythene water sachet and Parinari polyandra shell residue for composites production

Mitigation of the environmental burden associated with indiscriminate disposal of post-consumer low density polyethylene (LDPE) packaging material is receiving attention in recent times. There is a need to search for alternative reuse of the accumulating plastic wastes constituting pollutants in our environment. This work involves the preparation and evaluation of the bio-composite samples from post-consumer low density polyethylene water sachets and parinari fruits shell. Biocomposite samples of filler percentages 10, 20 and 30% were produced. The mechanical properties of the samples were determined as function of filler content and particle size according to ASTM standards and confirmed with SEM. The samples had desirable hardness strength of 4568.9 N/mm 2 and desirable biodegradability for 30% filler weight of particle size 4 mm. The biocomposite samples exhibited desirable impact (51.75 kJ/m 2), tensile (10.02) and flexural strength (18.23 N/mm 2) with the 10% weight samples. The findings in this study suggest that post-consumer LDPE wastes can be valorized by conversion to biocomposites using biomass wastes such as parinari shell as cheap value-addition material, providing a cheap potential waste management method for solving the global plastic waste crisis.

Peripheral such as aerospace, armor, sensors, heat exchanger, automobile, storage, and any other electronic equipment are frequently subjected to varying mechanical and thermal stress, which substantially influence their reliability, life cycle, and performance. The aerospace sector, for example, is in constant research for the decrement in mass to achieve higher fuel efficiency through light weighting approach. It is due to the specific parameters that advanced polymer composites exhibit, there are growing research interests in heat management schemes, where both higher thermal characteristics and strength with significantly lower density are simultaneously essential. In the same manner, nanohybrid particles are commonly utilized as reinforcement fillers to enhance mechanical, electromagnetic shielding efficiency, and thermal characteristics of any polymer matrices. This survey discusses the polymer-based nanocomposites incorporated with hybrid nanoparticles for applications in high-performance materials. The subsequent interaction between the selected polymer matrix and hybrid nanofillers, which affects the characteristics of the polymer-based nanocomposites: mechanical, electromagnetic radiation shielding efficiency as well as thermal conductivity have been critically reviewed. The hybrid nanoparticles' synergy facilitates effective dispersion without damaging the structures of the nanofillers tend to optimized electrical properties, thermal conductivity, and higher overall functionality of the fabricated nanocomposites.
