In this study, a mixture of thermoplastic polybutylene succinate (PBS), tapioca starch, glycerol and empty fruit bunch fiber was prepared by melt compounding method using an industrial extruder. Generally, insertion starch/glycerol has provided better strength performance, but worse thermal water uptake to all specimens. The effect loading on mechanical, morphological, physical properties studied in focus. Low interfacial bonding between matrix revealed poor mechanical performance. However,...
High relative permittivity and low dielectric loss are two desired parameters of a triboelectric layer to enhance its mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency in nanogenerator (TENG). However, the elevated is always accompanied by increasing loss, limiting further improvement or even reducing electrical output. Herein, we report method for improving suppressing via nanoscale design at particle-polymer interface. When incorporated with 2 wt % Ag@C, triboelectric-layer-enhanced...
In this study, polybutylene succinate (PBS) was blended with five types of modified tapioca starch to investigate the effect in PBS blends for food packaging by identifying its properties. Tensile and flexural properties found deteriorated insertion starch. This is due poor interface, higher void contents hydrolytic degradation hydrophilic FTIR results show all starch/PBS are footprints except OH stretching vibration which absent B40 blends. Besides, Broad O–H absorption specimens that these...
The effects of different fabric materials namely weave designs (plain and satin) counts (5 × 5 6 6) on the properties laminated woven kenaf/carbon fibre reinforced epoxy hybrid composites were evaluated. fabricated from two types fabric, i.e., kenaf that was made a yarn 500tex carbon fibre, by using vacuum infusion technique resin as matrix. panels tested for tensile, flexural, impact strengths. results have revealed plain is more suitable than satin obtaining high tensile Using count has...
Abstract In this study, it focused on empty fruit brunch (EFB) fibres reinforcement in polybutylene succinate (PBS) with modified tapioca starch by using hot press technique for the use of agricultural mulch film. Mechanical, morphological and thermal properties were studied. Mechanical analysis showed decreased values modulus strength both tensile flexural testing insertion. Higher EFB fibre contents films resulted lower mechanical due to poor wetting from insufficient matrix. This has also...
This paper presents a study of the mechanical and thermal properties kenaf fiber (KF) reinforced polypropylene (PP)/magnesium hydroxide (MH) composites. Pure PP samples show low tensile, flexural flame retardant properties. It was found that KF MH filler insertion improved The incremental addition between 0 20 weight percent in composites results higher tensile modulus decomposed mass loss at onset temperature, but lower strength, elongation, strength temperature. Addition 25 wt% produces...
Mechanical strength, thermal conductivity and electrical breakdown of polypropylene/lignin/kenaf core fiber (PP/L/KCF) composite were studied. PP/L, PP/KCF PP/L/KCF composites with different lignin loading was prepared using a compounding process. Pure PP served as control. The results revealed that tensile flexural properties the retained after addition kenaf fibers. Thermal stability improved compared to pure polymer. As for conductivity, no significant difference observed between PP....
In this study, Kraft lignin was esterified with phthalic anhydride and served as reinforcing filler for poly(butylene succinate) (PBS). Composites different ratios of PBS, (L), modified (ML) kenaf core fibers (KCF) were fabricated using a compounding method. The PBS composites its counterparts tested thermal, physical mechanical properties. Weight percent gain 4.5% after modification the FTIR spectra has confirmed occurrence an esterification reaction. Better thermo-mechanical properties...
7000 years ago, miswak fiber (MF) was used as a toothbrush for oral care. However, since the emergence of plastic materials, it monopolized care industry. The increment products also promotes accumulation wastes after its disposal. Thus, many researchers have turn to biodegradable reduce this problem. aim study is investigate chemical, physical, and mechanical properties MF reinforcement in composites that are suitable replace materials. reinforced PLA composite with different weight...
Purpose This study aims to explore how learners prefer interact with microlearning videos. Microlearning is an emerging topic in work-based learning, and the benefits of using video supporting learning have been widely discussed. However, only very few previous works were conducted on discussing video. paper fill this knowledge gap. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was used for data collection purposes. In total, invitation had sent 236 enrolled from three targeted modules through...
The Floreon (FLO) biopolymer is an advanced bioplastic materials, invented by University of Sheffield and CPD Plc, in November 2013. Nine combinations the kenaf fiber (KF) reinforced FLO with magnesium hydroxide (MH) flame retardant filler were fabricated tested on Thermogravimetry Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). electron microscopy has been used to study cross‐section interface. low thermal stability natural composite found lower decomposition...
This paper presents a study of the mechanical properties Kenaf fibre (KF) reinforced floreon (FLO)/ magnesium hydroxide (MH) bio-composites.The mixing all materials was done by using 21 mm lab twin screw extruder followed hot pressing.The composite sheet then cut into specimens for testing purposes.The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used to cross-section interface.In this regard, insufficient resin wetting, hydrolytic degradation on biopolymer and poor interfacial bonding were attributed...
In this experiment, thermoset cardanol resin was reinforced with short kenaf bast fibers to produce 100% green composites. Different fiber loadings based on weight ratios (0%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60%) were fabricated by the hand layup method followed compression molding. The results indicated that 50UTK (untreated fibers) displays highest mechanical properties (91.9% 43.4% increment for tensile strength impact strength, respectively) compared brittle polymer other combinations of composite....
