“…This can be seen when the findings are compared. 26 The PLSF/GH-VE composites were 1.59 times harder than the vinyl ester resin left alone. The PLSF/ GH-VE mixtures exhibited a 58.9% increase in hardness compared to the pure vinyl ester resin used alone.…”

This research paper focuses on the use of solid biomass waste, specifically a combination of Polyalthia longifolia seed (PLSF) and graphite (GH) powder, as reinforcements in vinyl ester (VE) composites. The composites were produced via the hand layup method, with the filler concentration varying from 0 to 15 wt% of PLSF and 0–9 wt% of graphite. The objective was to examine the influence of the hybrid filler on the mechanical characteristics of the composites. The mechanical properties of composites prepared from P. longifolia seeds and graphite powder were experimentally characterized. These properties included tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, and hardness. The hybrid composite had a maximum tensile strength of 48.4 MPa, and its tensile modulus was 1.66 GPa. The hybrid filler at 15% wt% of PLSF and 6% of graphite has the highest flexural strength, which is around 148 MPa. The ultimate impact strength and hardness were measured to be 41.3 kJ/m2 and 44.5, respectively, after the addition of 15 and 6 wt% of hybrid filler. In comparison to neat vinyl ester resin, the PLSF/GH‐VE composites exhibited an increase in tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness of 2.69, 1.82, 3.03, and 1.59 times, respectively. Hybrid composite surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopes to determine surface characteristics and fractured surfaces. In addition, the PLSF/GH‐VE composites have been utilized in the production of components for four‐wheelers.Highlights Investigated the impact of hybrid filler‐reinforced vinyl ester composites. Mechanical and thermal properties were experimentally characterized. Surface characteristics and fractured surfaces were examined. PLSF/GH‐VE composites are used in producing components for four‐wheelers.

The use of industrial waste red mud in polymer composites promotes environmental sustainability by mitigating the environmental impacts associated with landfill disposal. Previous research by the authors on red mud sisal fiber composites resulted in increased strength; it is expected that the strength can be increased further through fiber treatment. As a result, the current study sought to examine the effects of chemical‐treated sisal fiber reinforcement on the mechanical properties of red mud composites. Alkaline treatment and silane treatment were both used as chemical treatment methods. Red mud was added in three different weight percentages, and composites were built using the compression molding method and tested for hardness, tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength. The findings indicate that the strength of the composite increases with the incorporation of treated fibers, silane‐treated 30% red mud composites showed a maximum hardness of around 92 shore D. The tensile strength of the composites containing 20% red mud and treated with silane was the highest, reaching ca. 63 MPa. This significant increase in strength was attributed to the formation of strong interfacial bonding between the red mud, fiber, and matrix. Furthermore, the silane‐treated 20 wt% red mud composites have the highest flexural strength (ca. 244 MPa) and impact strength (ca. 26 J/m). However, increasing the red mud content above 20 wt% resulted in decreased tensile, flexural, and impact strength due to poor bond development, and red mud agglomeration. The findings of this study are beneficial for the design and development of composites based on red mud, as well as for promoting sustainable waste management practices.Highlights Red mud composites achieve superior mechanical strength. Chemical treatment enhances sisal fiber reinforcement. Sustainable waste management promoted through composite utilization. Strong interfacial bonding improves composite performance.

To address the difficulty posed by non‐biodegradable thermoplastics, scientists are focusing on solid waste management research. Waste vetiver root fibers reinforced in polymerized soy matrix biomass composites were fabricated and tested for biodegradability and sustainability in different natural decomposing conditions like seawater aging and fungal and termite attacks. This study reports and compares the dimensional changes caused by these attacks, as well as the moisture absorption of vetiver‐soy and alkali‐treated vetiver‐soy composites at different relative humidity. After‐degradation characterizations included Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and SEM examinations, as well as weight loss, which gave additional insights into the degradation mechanism. The tensile strength of degraded samples decreased as the degradation duration increased. Mechanical properties like Izod impact strength, dynamic mechanical analysis and moisture absorption also provided insights into the structural firmness of the fabricated composite. This research contributes to a better knowledge of the bio‐deterioration process of cellulosic vetiver‐soy biocomposites under various situations, and to check their functionality in furniture and packaging industries. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
