    Hybrid Polymer Composites Containing GGBS and Copper Slag: A Review of Mechanical Behavior and Interfacial Mechanisms

    By Gopi Naga Lakshmi, R. Venkata Krishnaiah, M. HemaPriya

    Abstract: Over the past few years, there has been a push to seek sustainable solutions through material science in the field of industrial by-products that can be used in polymer composite systems. Two such substances are ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and copper slag that have demonstrated a promising potential because of their abundance and useful physical and chemical properties.This review is dedicated to the application of GGBS and copper …

    A Comprehensive Review of Green Hybrid Polymer–Inorganic Composite Systems Incorporating Palm Tree Ash and Titanium Dioxide

    By Michel Theivadurai G., M. HemaPriya, R. Karthikeyan, J. Faney

    Abstract: The increasing requests on sustainable and high performance systems have motivated extensive investigations on polymer-based hybrid systems with bio-derived and/or functional inorganic fillers. In this review, the importance of palm tree ash (PTA) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as synergistic fillers for polymer–inorganic hybrid composites, particularly about structure–property relations, interfacial adhesion and durability performance, is discussed. Agricultural waste-derived palm tree ash (PTA) plays as a silica-rich filler which not only aids …

    Interfacial Bonding and Performance of Polymer-Based CFRP Composites in Externally Applied Configurations

    By A. Avaneesh Pushpasai, M. HemaPriya, A. Arivumangai, J. Faney

    Abstract: Polymer-based carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used for externally bonded strengthening and retrofitting applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and adaptability to existing structures. In such systems, overall performance is governed not only by the fiber–matrix interaction within the laminate, but more critically by the polymer adhesive layer and its interaction with the substrate. Polymer chemistry, interfacial bonding mechanisms, processing conditions, and environmental exposure collectively influence …
