Experimental Investigation Mechanical Behaviour of Composite Made by Carbon Fibre Mixed with Zro2 and Phenolic Resin
Abstract: Composites are one of the major research criteria in aerospace technologies to fulfil the present needs. Addition of materials to carbon fibers without increasing of weight of the parts Nano and micro fillers have its own criteria in improving mechanical properties. ZrO2 particles added to carbon fibers can improve the strength with a light add up in density. Present study focused on the mechanical behavior of zirconium oxide addition to …

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: This study investigates the thermal decomposition and mechanical properties of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites (FRPCs) using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). The research focuses on improving the recycling and recovery process of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs), addressing environmental concerns regarding their disposal. By analyzing the effects of different heating rates (5°C and 10°C per minute) and atmospheric conditions (nitrogen, oxygen, and a combination of both), the study identifies optimal parameters for maximizing …

Evaluation of Mechanical Properties of a Sustainable Bamboo Fiber Based Composite
Abstract: This research investigates the process of extracting and using both long and short bamboo fibers from the plentiful Dendrocalamus giganteus species. The fibers were extracted using a synergistic combination of mechanical and chemical methods, which proved to be the most efficient. The process included using an alkali solution and mechanical disintegration to generate superior long and short fibers. Subsequently, these fibers were used to manufacture composites by combining them with …

Water Absorption and Mechanical Behaviour of Bagasse Fibre and Particle-Reinforced Hybrid Composite Materials
Abstract: This study investigates the mechanical behaviour and water absorption characteristics of bagasse fibre and groundnut shell particle (GSP)-reinforced hybrid composites using a phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin matrix. Varying weight fractions of GSP (5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) were incorporated into the composites, with bagasse fibre content kept constant at 30% by weight. Tensile, flexural, and impact strengths were measured, and the water absorption behaviour was evaluated following ASTM standards.The results indicated …

Pain Management Through Ayurvedic Tablets and Capsules
Abstract: Triphala Guggulu is a classical formulation widely used in Ayurveda for the management of metabolic and inflammatory disorders. It represents a synergistic combination of Triphala – composed of Emblica officinalis, Terminalia bellirica, and Terminalia chebula – along with the oleo-gum resin of Commiphora mukul. In traditional Ayurvedic practice, this formulation has been prescribed for conditions, such as arthritis, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and chronic constipation, primarily due to its reputed ability to …

Cardanol Glycidyl Ether in Advanced Materials: Recent Progress, Synthetic Strategies, and Future Perspectives
Abstract: Cardanol glycidyl ether (CGE), a bio-based precursor and epoxy derived product has been emerged as a promising sustainable alternative to conventional petroleum-based epoxy materials. Due to the presence of a phenolic hydroxyl group and an unsaturated aliphatic side chain, cardanol can be effectively undergoes glycidylation to produce reactive epoxy monomers that has excellent flexibility, hydrophobicity, low viscosity, and notably good chemical resistance. In recent years, CGE-based systems have attracted remarkable …

Influence of the Modification of Resol Phenolics on the Properties of Glass and Cotton Fiber Laminates
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite based on resol phenolics awaits special attention due to excellent inherent properties of the resol phenolics. In this study, modified resol phenolics by unsaturated polyester (UP) and epoxidised novolacs of simple phenol, o-cresol and p-cresol were used to fabricate glass and cotton FRPs. An overall enhancement of 25% in tensile strength and 40% in impact strength is achieved upon modification for both the modified laminates. …
