Development of IoT-Enabled Circular-Economy Polymer Composites from Recycled Plastics and Agricultural Waste FibersBy S. Lalitha, Abhishek Bhattacherjee, Rashid Hashmi, Puvvada Nagesh, Rohini Goel, Vandana Ahuja
Abstract: Circular polymer composites can help to decrease virgin resin consumption and provide value from agricultural waste, but there are still challenges with recycled-feedstock variability and poor fiber–matrix interfaces to achieve consistent performance. In this study, a circular composite system based on recycled polypropylene (rPP), recycled high-density polyethylene (rHDPE), bagasse fiber and rice-husk fiber was developed with the use of IoT technology. The polymer type, fiber type, reinforcement level (5, 10 …
