Characterization of Polymer Based Natural Fibre Clay Nano Composites
Abstract: Research on biocomposites is gaining significant attention due to the growing emphasis on sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Biocomposites offer a promising alternative to traditional synthetic materials, such as plastics, which have environmental concerns like non-biodegradability and pollution. Natural fibers are often more affordable than synthetic materials, potentially leading to cost-effective products. Natural coir and jute biocomposites can be used in various industries, including automotive, construction, packaging, and textiles. Coir …

Polymer Composite-Enabled UAV Platform for Edge AI-Based Precision Agriculture: A System-Level Evaluation
Abstract: This study investigates the system-level role of commercially available polymer composite materials in enabling lightweight and energy-efficient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms integrated with edge artificial intelligence for real-time agricultural monitoring. Rather than developing or experimentally characterizing new composite materials, the work evaluates fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and epoxy-based laminates as enabling structural components whose established properties support UAV performance in precision agriculture. Their high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and …

Marine Algal Fiber Reinforced Bio-Composites with Embedded Humidity Sensors for Coastal Smart Infrastructure
Abstract: The development of sustainable structural materials with integrated sensing capabilities has emerged as an effective strategy for improving the durability and resilience of coastal infrastructure exposed to aggressive marine environments. In this study, a multifunctional marine algal fiber reinforced bio-composite incorporating an embedded flexible humidity sensor was developed for real-time structural health monitoring applications. Marine macroalgae (Ulva lactuca) fibers were chemically functionalized using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) to enhance fiber–matrix interfacial adhesion …

Significance of Composite Materials for Making Better Future Society
Abstract: Since in the beginning of human history, Materials had been started in use. We can't imagine our world without materials. In fact, Materials has taken centre position in many developed and developing countries. The materials that humans have chosen to use for engineering projects throughout history, including the Stone, Iron, and Silicon ages. However, in order to meet today's difficulties, new materials must be discovered and developed with the necessary …
