“…After harvesting and collecting fruits of pineapple, the leaves were buried inside the soil or burnt. So, if we able to extract and use the fibers from these waste leaves to strengthen the polymer, then it can be helpful for economy‐based product development 37 . On the other hand, kenaf has great potential of replacing synthetic fiber due to its lighter weight and good mechanical strength 38 .…”

Natural fibers are exceptional renewable resources to develop biocomposite materials for reducing the negative effects on the environment and producing economical and lightweight materials for load bearing semi‐structural applications. The present study is an attempt to develop kenaf/pineapple reinforced bio‐epoxy biocomposite and investigates thermo‐mechanical and viscoelastic properties under accelerated weathering conditions. The compression molding technique is used to develop biocomposite with four different arrangements of kenaf/pineapple laminates. To perform accelerated weathering, laminates are exposed to ultraviolet radiation and humidity conditions with extreme temperature in weathering tester machine. The tensile, flexural, impact, thermogravimetric analysis, thermal conductivity, viscoelastic properties, and water absorption tests are performed before and after accelerated weathering. The results revealed that the hybridization of kenaf/pineapple laminates showed better interfacial strength and stiffness while reducing the moisture sensitivity under accelerated weathering conditions. The morphology and fracture behavior of biocomposites are examined with scanning electron microscopy.

“…At present, the research on user response characteristics is mainly divided into two categories: machine rational analysis and nonmachine rational analysis. e mechanism analysis is mainly to analyze and model the relationship between electricity price and other incentive signals and user load in a specific environment [7]. For example, analyze the power consumption characteristics and strategic bidding behavior of power users in the market environment and establish a bilateral game model between power producers and power users [8].…”

In order to solve the problem of accurately mining the power consumption characteristic data of power users, this paper proposes a research on power user network data mining algorithms based on multi-information fusion. In the past, the mining methods based on neural networks and cure algorithms were affected by noise data, resulting in low mining accuracy. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a user-complex power consumption feature mining method based on the K-means clustering algorithm. In the K-means clustering algorithm, the principle of mining complex power consumption characteristics of users is studied, and the data are cleaned, integrated, and preprocessed by protocol transformation to avoid noise interference. The information entropy principle is used to cluster the matrix to regularize the feature points. According to the complex power consumption characteristics, the power consumption feature points are determined through the cluster, the distance between the clusters is calculated, the power consumption feature information gain is obtained, and the user complex power consumption feature mining is completed. The experimental results show that the mining accuracy of this method is up to 99%, providing users with better quality services. Conclusion. The automatic control performance of the system is good, and the acquisition results are accurate and reliable.

The goal of this study is to investigate the morphological and mechanical characteristics of water hyacinth plant fibre polymer composites using the aquatic waste of water hyacinth plant fibre as a reinforcement material. Our main objective has been to make successive sustainable products for commercial and household use using aquatic waste plants. As a filler material, the eggshell powder is used here, which is derived naturally. The composite sample's mechanical properties are increased by this process. A novel way of extracting fibre from hyacinth is used in this study by fabricating a mechanical fibre extraction machine of our own design. The main aim of this work is to convert the biological waste of water hyacinth plants into successful commercial products. Using compression moulding techniques, fibre reinforced polymer composites are produced from water hyacinth plant extracts. ASTM standards are followed for the evaluation of manufactured samples, mechanical tests, and absorption tests. Utilizing TGA analysis, it is possible to identify the maximum withstand and degrading temperatures of composite samples. In order to determine whether FTIR can reveal chemical functional groups and percentage crystallinity, XRD is used as well. The scanning electron microscope is used to locate fibre clusters and brittle fractures in composite samples. With the help of an epoxy resin matrix, the fibres from water hyacinth can be used to make particleboard and other lightweight materials. By the end of this study, it should be able to demonstrate that water hyacinth plant fibres are suitable for use as reinforcement for an epoxy resin matrix.
