Biocomposites being environmentally-friendly alternative to synthetic composites are gaining increasing demand for various applications. Hence, biocomposite development should be integrated within a circular economy (CE) model ensure sustainable production that is simultaneously innocuous towards the environment. This review presents an overview of state-of-the-art technologies adoption CE concept in development. The study outlined properties, environmental and economic impacts...
The enhanced carbon footprint of the construction sector has created need for CO2 emission control and mitigation. emissions in are influenced by a variety factors, including raw material preparation, cement production, and, most notably, process. Thus, using biobased constituents could reduce emissions. However, can degrade have negative impact on performance. Recently, carbonised biomass known as biochar been found to be an effective partial replacement cement. Various studies reported...
The fire behavior of materials is usually modeled on the basis physics and material composition. However, significant strides have been made recently in applying soft computing methods such as artificial intelligence flammability studies. In this paper, multiple linear regression (MLR) was employed to test degree non-linearities parameter modeling by assessing relationship between sample mass, heating rate, heat release capacity (HRC) total (THR). Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system...
The study aimed to test the hypothesis that biochar's unique properties, such as its microporous structure, enhance concrete's resilience high temperatures. Despite expectations of reduced crack formation and enhanced fire resistance, experimental results revealed limited impact on behaviour. investigation involved use two biochar types, fine coarse replacements for cement aggregates, respectively. Fine exhibited higher water absorption Young's modulus than biochar, but both resisted...
The exterior application of fire-retardant (FR) timber necessitates it to have high durability because the possibility be exposed rainfall. In this study, water-leaching resistance FR wood has been imparted by grafting phosphate and carbamate groups water-soluble additives ammonium dihydrogen (ADP)/urea onto hydroxyl polymers via vacuum-pressure impregnation, followed drying/heating in hot air. A darker more reddish surface was observed after modification. Fourier transform infrared...
In the present study, ability of a coating zinc oxide (ZnO) powder to improve fire-safety wood exposed radiative heat flux was examined, focusing on ignition time wood. To test ZnO's efficiency substrate, two different amounts ZnO (0.5 and 1 g per dm2) were applied surface from cone calorimeter wherein pristine piece with no treatment taken as control. The experiments conducted at three irradiation levels i.e., 20, 35, 50 kWm-2. results showed that applying significantly increased (TTI). For...
Abstract The reasons behind the occurrence of a second/end peak heat release rate (PHRR) during wood combustion under radiative heating were determined. Effects type rear material, thickness, char progression, and its microstructure, as well moisture content/transport in spruce wood, studied. Rear materials used insulating Kaowool, conducting steel, same but physically separated from test specimen by aluminium foil. intensity PHRR with Kaowool was almost 50% more than that sample steel....
Starting from spent coffee grounds, the use of coffee-derived biochar (CB) as a flame retardant (FR) additive was explored following waste-to-wealth approach. CB employed alone and in combination with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) ternary (Si-Ti-Mg) mixed oxide to enhance thermal, fire, mechanical performances bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin modified (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES) cured cycloaliphatic amine hardener. The presence silicon-modified chains...
