  Smart Bio-Polymer Composite Systems for Sustainable Bio-Polymer Composite Media for Enhanced Pollutant Removal in Constructed Wetland Systems Using Machine Learning

  By Ujwala Kawade, Anjali Dadhich, Roshni Rajput, Namrata Arya

  Abstract: Constructed wetlands are widely used for wastewater treatment due to their low cost and ecological compatibility; however, their efficiency in removing emerging contaminants remains limited. This study presents the development of biodegradable polymer-based composite materials integrated into wetland filtration systems to enhance pollutant removal efficiency. Bio-polymers combined with natural fillers such as biochar and clay were synthesized and evaluated under simulated wetland conditions. The results demonstrate improved adsorption capacity, increased …

  Mechanical and Sustainable Enhancement of Epoxy Composites using Tamarind Seed Powder

  By G. Ashwin Prabhu, T. Vinod Kumar, Janarthanam Vijayanand, N. Sathishkumar, J.M. Babu, M. Nitheesh Kumar, V. Manoj Kanna

  Abstract: The investigation examines how tamarind seed powder affects epoxy-based materials for the development of waste-based useful products. The research examines the mechanical behavior of epoxy resin composites which contain tamarind seed powder in increasing percentages spanning from 10% to 40%. The team utilized the hand layup method to produce the composites which then fulfilled the ASTM guidelines for specimen fabrication for mechanical tests. The study examined fundamental mechanical parameters by …
