    Sustainable Development of Carbon–Sisal Reinforced Polyester Composites through Green Nanotechnology

    By S. Meena, M. Chittaranjan, G. Ashwin Prabhu, Vijayan S., R.B. Senthilrajan, S. Karthick, Josan A., Pavadharini S.M.

    Abstract: This study presents the sustainable development of carbon–sisal fiber reinforced polyester composites enhanced through green nanotechnology for improved mechanical performance and environmental compatibility. The hybrid composites were fabricated using varying fiber ratios - C1 (70% carbon, 30% sisal), C2 (60% carbon, 40% sisal), and C3 (50% carbon, 50% sisal) - with an optimized addition of 1 wt.% nano-silica (SiO2) synthesized via a green sol–gel route. The tensile, flexural, and impact …

    Synergistic Effect of Green Nanofillers on Basalt–Kenaf Reinforced Sustainable Polymer Composites

    By V. Ravi Raj, M. Dharani, S. Karthick, G. Ashwin Prabhu, R.B. Senthilrajan, R. Karthikeyan, Jeriel Samuel J., Madhan Kumar D.

    Abstract: This study examines the synergistic impact of green nanofillers on the mechanical and structural properties of basalt–kenaf fiber reinforced polyester composites, with the objective of developing sustainable, high-performance polymer materials. The composites were produced with different fiber ratios: B1 (70% basalt, 30% kenaf), B2 (60% basalt, 40% kenaf), and B3 (50% basalt, 50% kenaf), and were reinforced with 1 wt.% green-synthesized nano-TiO2, obtained using an eco-friendly sol–gel technique with plant …
