Production and Evaluation of Composites Made from Waste Material and Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)By Haydar U. Zaman
Abstract: A significant ecological concern that third-world countries are currently facing is the economically viable use of lignocellulose waste. In addition to reducing the cost of the composite, cellulosic fiber composites created from industrial waste would enable the efficient use of a waste material that is presently disposed of or burned. Recycled poly (ethylene terephthalate) was used in this work as a major phase (matrix) and industrial waste material was used …

Influence of Surface Treatments on the Adhesion of Plant Fibers to Epoxy ResinBy Haydar U. Zaman
Abstract: Because of their primary benefits, moderate strength and stiffness, low cost, and the fact that they are a renewable, biodegradable, and environmentally safe material, natural fibers are seen to have potential use as reinforcing agents in polymer composite materials. Since they are inherently hydrophilic, moisture can easily build up on them, weakening or plasticizing the fibers’ adhesion to the surrounding matrix and affecting the performance of composite materials used in …

An Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of Polyethylene Composites Reinforced with Short Vetiver FibersBy Haydar U. Zaman
Abstract: Synthetic fibers (such as carbon, glass, ceramic fibers, etc.) are a cause of environmental concern, so natural fibers (such as vetiver, calotropis gigantea, flax, hemp, jute, etc.) are extensively used. In this study, the compression molding process was used to improve low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrix composites reinforced with vetiver fiber (VF). Experiments were conducted by varying VF length, VF content, and fiber treatment time. The composites' static mechanical characteristics, including …
