Plastics Compressive Strength Testing
Abstract: Compression test is a mechanical test that determines how much compressive force a material to resist before cracking. A gradually applied load compresses the test item, which is commonly in the shape of a square, pyramid, or cylinder, between the platens of a compression-testing machine. Many ductile metals, such as mild steel, have extremely high compression strength, yet measuring them is challenging. Whenever a load is given to a ductile …

Influence of Surface Treatments on the Adhesion of Plant Fibers to Epoxy Resin
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 …

Physico-mechanical, and Biodegradation Properties of Polyethylene/Food Polysaccharide Blends
Abstract: Hydrophilic/polar and hydrophobic/non-polar materials do not blend well, which causes issues in the production of biodegradable plastic. Plasticizer (glycerol) was one of the components added to the mixture to increase compatibility between the two materials; this also made the film less brittle. The purpose of this study is to look at how different food polysaccharide contents affect the physico-mechanical, and biodegradation characteristics of novel polymeric-based bio-composite films made from low-density …
