“…The contour plots depicted in Figures 7 demonstrate that the engine's capacity to operate with minimal CO, HC emissions, and SEC is significantly impacted by the lowest achievable ratio of biofuel and the lowest engine load [22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. On the other hand, the increase in the blending ratio led to elevated levels of HC concentrations due to the oil's low viscosity, resulting in a decrease in droplet sizes and diffusion.…”

Scientists are interested in biofuels because of their potential as a renewable energy source and alternative fuel. Biofuel has quickly become the industry standard because of the positive impact it has on the environment. The process of recycling materials into useful energy sources has grown in popularity in response to the significant increase in energy demand brought about by the worldwide population. Because of this, energy conversion via crassipes hydrophytes will be a hot topic in the near future. The production of biofuels from Crassipes hydrophytes has contributed greatly to re-establishing environmental equilibrium. Biofuel is the most advantageous feedstock for producing biodiesel, both monetarily and environmentally. Oxygenated fuels are a feasible option for reducing harmful exhaust fumes from motor vehicles. To achieve the goals of energy recovery from crassipes hydrophytes, this study provides an overview of biofuel as a potential alternative fuel for diesel engines. This study examines the efficiency and pollution levels of diesel engines running on biofuel blends generated from crassipes hydrophytes.

“…The higher the number of CC fillers, the harder the composites [26] . On the other hand, the addition of pineapple leaf fibre decreases the composite hardness [4,13] . One reason is that the hardness of the pineapple leaf fibre is lower than that of CC filler and UPR.…”

“…The material used is a matrix of unsaturated polyester resin filled with calcium carbonate filler and reinforcement using E-glasses chopped strand mat and woven roving with usually three millimeters composite thickness [1] . However, when these synthetic materials are not used, or their life cycle has run out, they are difficult to decompose naturally, which will likely pollute the envi-ronment if not controlled [2,3,4] .…”

Using natural fibres is often recommended as polymer composite materials owing to their potential to reduce the pollution of synthetic material waste. This study aimed to obtain the physical properties of unsaturated polyester resin matrix composite containing calcium carbonate fillers of 15 and 30 parts per hundred weights of the resin and natural pineapple leaf fibre of the amount 20% and 30% of the composite weight. The composite samples were three millimetres thick, with the pineapple leaf fibres arranged in one longitudinal direction. Some parameters observed included density, water absorption, response to fire, hardness, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact strength. The results showed that adding calcium carbonate filler into the matrix increased the density, water absorption, hardness, and modulus of elasticity of the composite. However, it reduced the flame propagation rate, tensile strength, and impact strength. Also, the use of pineapple leaf fibre contributed to increased water absorption, rate of flame propagation, tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and impact strength of the composite, but it reduced the density and hardness. As these samples use economical materials, they are likely valuable for building materials that do not require high mechanical properties, especially guttering materials.

“…In addition to costing less to make, polymeric composites with fillers meet high-performance standards and are of higher quality. [32][33][34][35] The fact is that reinforcement in polymers must be uniformly distributed but not agglomerated. Stirring process parameters for mixing a filler with epoxy must be chosen as per our requirements.…”

“…Because polymers have weaknesses like poor strength and low impact resistance, the use of fillers improves the mechanical, thermal, physical, and electrical properties of polymers. In addition to costing less to make, polymeric composites with fillers meet high‐performance standards and are of higher quality 32–35 . The fact is that reinforcement in polymers must be uniformly distributed but not agglomerated.…”

The potential benefits of using zinc borate powder as filler material in the production of glass fiber‐reinforced composites were explored in this study. The epoxy matrix was filled with zinc borate powder at 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight, as part of the hand lay‐up approach followed by a compression molding process. Ultrasonication was used to mix the epoxy resin with zinc borate fillers. Both the elemental composition and morphological characteristics were studied using a scanning electron microscope and energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis. The composite's density, tensile behavior, flexural behavior, impact resistance, and hardness were all measured experimentally. The potential incorporation of zinc borate particles resulted in a modest reduction in the void contents, in addition to enhancing the interfacial bonding in glass fiber‐reinforced composites as also a significant improvement in both the mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid composites produced. The 10 wt.% zinc borate‐ filled glass fiber‐reinforced composites exhibited a significant rise in both ultimate tensile strength (227 MPa), ultimate compressive strength (239 MPa), and ultimate flexural strength (406 MPa) compared to the unfilled counterpart. The performance of the laminated composites was greatly improved by adding zinc borate powder particles to the matrix.Highlights In the present work glass fiber was reinforced with zinc borate to explore the morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties. Ultrasonication was used to mix the epoxy resin and zinc borate fillers and the composites were manufactured by compression molding process. The addition of zinc borate resulted in an increase in tensile strength, flexural strength, and compressive strength. The thermal stability of the composites was increased by the addition of zinc borate to the glass matrix. The good bonding between the matrix and fiber resulted in improvements in various properties.
