“…The increase in tensile strength might due to the alignment of the organofunctional groups of the silane molecule with the polymer matrix, creating a more favorable interfacial environment and promoting adhesion [26]. A similar observation was made by N. Vaneewari et al [43], where the inclusion of silane coupling agent affected the tensile qualities of Sugarcane bagasse/PP composites. The tensile strength of Sugarcane bagasse/PP observed an increase from 20.83 MPa to 23.42 MPa as the coupling agent loading increased from 10 to 20 wt%.…”

In this study, a novel approach to address the pressing issue of plastic waste in the biosphere that leads to ecological hazards and threatens living beings is presented. Herein, a set of biodegradable composites has been developed through the melt blending of polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) and rice husk (RH), aiming to discover effective surface modification techniques for enhancing mechanical properties while maintaining biodegradability above 90%. This research studied the diverse surface treatment methodologies applied to raw RH, including alkaline treatment, acetylation, and silane treatment. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on evaluating how these treatments distinctly influence the mechanical properties and biodegradability of RH. Additionally, it seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms driving these performance changes. To further improve the compatibility between hydrophobic PBAT and hydrophilic RH, compatibilizers such as maleic anhydride (MAH) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP), were incorporated. A range of analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphological analysis, tensile testing to evaluate the mechanical properties of PBAT composites and soil burial test to investigate the biodegradability of the composites. The results indicate that the PBAT/Silane RH/MAH composite exhibited exceptional mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of 22.49 MPa, strain at break of 41.83%, and young modulus of 187.60 MPa. Furthermore, the composites developed exhibited 90% mass loss during a six-month soil burial test, confirming their remarkable biodegradability. The findings present an innovative and practical solution for utilizing RH waste in a wide range of applications, particularly in the production of molded products such as straws.

This study involves the optimization of the milling parameters of unmodified Calotropis Procera fiber-reinforced PLA composite (UCPFRPC). The material is prepared from the combination of 20% Calotropis-Procera and 80% of PLA by weight. The experiments are designed using the Taguchi methodology, where 16 experiments are obtained using the spindle rotational speed, depth of cut, and feed rate as the parameters. These experiments were conducted while obtaining thermal images using an infrared camera and recording the machining time. The change in mass was then determined and the material removal rate computed. The machined workpieces were then investigated for surface roughness. The study shows that the optimal milling parameters in the machining of UCPFRPC for the lowest surface roughness are 400 rpm, 400 mm/min, and 0.2 mm, for the rotational spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The parameters were 400 rpm, 100 mm/min, and 1.2 mm for the largest MRR, and 400 rpm, 400 mm/min, and 0.2 mm for the least average milling temperature. In all the responses, the depth of cut is the most significant factor.
