  Modelling -Based Evaluation of Hybrid Natural Synthetic Fiber Polymer Composites for Sustainable Energy Applications

  By Jyoti Gupta, Mahesh Kumar, Ajay Dureja, Shyla, Payal Malik

  Abstract: The growing need of lightweight, high-performance, and green energy system materials has increased the research on hybrid polymer composites. This paper gives a modelling-based evaluation of polymer matrix composites which are reinforced using natural fibers like jute, sisal, bamboo in a combination with synthetic glass fibers to be used in sustainable energy sources. An analytical model has been used to assess the effect of hybrid fiber composition on mechanical, thermal, …

  Polymer-Based Nanocomposite Coatings for Enhancing Solar Photovoltaic Panel Efficiency

  By Sandeep Sharma, Lalit Mohan Trivadi, Ajay Dureja, Sandeep Banerjee, Poras Khetarpal

  Abstract: Environmental factors such as dust deposition, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and surface reflection significantly reduce the performance of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules. This study investigates the development and performance evaluation of polymer-based nanocomposite coatings designed to improve the optical and surface properties of PV panel glass. A hybrid nanocomposite coating containing TiO₂ and SiO₂ nanoparticles dispersed in a polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) matrix was synthesized using the sol–gel technique and deposited through …
