  Smart Biopolymer–PCM Composite Modules with Embedded Wireless Thermal Sensing for Autonomous Energy Storage Applications

  By A. Chandrashekhar, K. Arun, Om Prakash Sharma, Rathinamala S., Mallikarjunarao Dandu, M. Premalatha, P. Joel Josephson, G. Nixon Samuel Vijayakumar, Rajendiran M.

  Abstract: The development of multifunctional polymer composite systems for intelligent thermal energy storage has gained significant attention due to the increasing demand for sustainable and autonomous thermal management technologies. In the present study, a wireless-integrated biopolymer–phase change material (PCM) composite module embedded with thermal feedback sensors was successfully fabricated and experimentally investigated for advanced thermal energy storage applications. Polylactic acid (PLA) was employed as the biodegradable polymer matrix, while paraffin wax …

  Investigation on The Effect of Carbon Fiber Reinforcement on The Mechanical and Physical Properties of FDM 3d Printed PLA

  By Arun Kumar K N, Aruna Mokhamatam, Shivaraj Dharennavar, Meenakshi

  Abstract: In this work, the effects of annealing on the physical properties and mechanical behavior of short-carbon-fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (CF/PLA) composites made using fused deposition modeling (FDM) are systematically investigated. Pristine PLA and CF/PLA composites with 10% fibers have been made and evaluated in accordance with ASTM standards. Tensile, bending, and hardness tests were used to evaluate the performance of as-received and annealed composites. The tensile and hardness properties of PLA …
