The burgeoning necessity to discover new methodologies for the synthesis of long-chain hydrocarbons and oxygenates, independent of traditional reliance on high-temperature, high-pressure, and fossil fuel-based carbon, is increasingly urgent. In this context, we introduce a nonthermal plasma-based strategy for the initiation and propagation of long-chain carbon growth from biogas constituents (CO 2 and CH 4 ). Utilizing a plasma reactor operating at atmospheric room temperature, our approach facilitates hydrocarbon chain growth up to C40 in the solid state (including oxygenated products), predominantly when CH 4 exceeds CO 2 in the feedstock. This synthesis is driven by the hydrogenation of CO 2 and/or amalgamation of CH x radicals. Global plasma chemistry modeling underscores the pivotal role of electron temperature and CH x radical genesis, contingent upon varying CO 2 /CH 4 ratios in the plasma system. Concomitant with long-chain hydrocarbon production, the system also yields gaseous products, primarily syngas (H 2 and CO), as well as liquid-phase alcohols and acids. Our finding demonstrates the feasibility of atmospheric room-temperature synthesis of long-chain hydrocarbons, with the potential for tuning the chain length based on the feed gas composition.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] A filler is typically a micron or nanometer-sized substance added to a polymer matrix to change the material's mechanical, thermal, electrical, and tribological properties. [7][8][9][10][11][12] Bommegowda et al 13 have provided a brief overview of the role of fillers in polymer composites. They concluded that the key to creating effective polymer composites is choosing the right polymer matrix, hardener, reinforcement, filler synthesis and dispersion, as well as the fabrication procedures.…”

In this research, a new class of composite made up of wood apple dust (WAD) and epoxy is developed using the hand lay‐up process. The impact of WAD filler on the physical and wear characteristics of epoxy‐based composites are examined. The composite samples are prepared by varying the weight content of WAD (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 wt%). The composites are subjected to dry sliding wear testing in accordance with the L25 Taguchi design to calculate the specific wear rate (SWR). An optimum parametric combination of control factors is established for the composites to have the least amount of wear loss. The SWR of WAD/epoxy composites is also predicted using commercial finite element method (FEM) software ANSYS 2019 R2. The experimental findings are compared with the predicted wear rates of the composites. The results revealed that addition of WAD powder improved the wear resistance of the composites. A remarkable increase in tensile, compressive and flexural strength values of 34.79%, 10.12%, and 22.66% respectively, is observed. Neat polymer has tensile, compressive and flexural strengths of 48, 82, and 22.5 MPa respectively, and the values increased to 64.7, 90.3, and 27.6 MPa with addition of 12 wt% WAD. It is further observed that out of the four control factors the most influencing control factor affecting the wear rate of the composites in decreasing order are WAD content, sliding velocity, sliding distance, and normal load.Highlights In this study a natural fiber‐based waste, wood apple dust (WAD) is successfully used as a potential filler material in epoxy matrix. Physical and mechanical properties of the epoxy‐WAD composites are analyzed. Effects of filler contents on the wear behavior are studied using design of experiment. The wear rate of WAD/epoxy composites is predicted using finite element method.

Hybrid polymer composites have been proven to be an alternative to the conventional ones that use only one filler in the polymeric matrix. In this study, the effect of the addition of cotton linter fibers (CLF) and/or montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay as fillers in recycled polyethylene (PER) composites was evaluated with and without using maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE– g–MAH) as an interfacial compatibilizing agent. The presence of titanium dioxide (TiO2) used as a color additive was confirmed by the characterizations of PER. It was found that the rheological, morphological, and mechanical properties of PER were significantly altered by adding fillers, owing to the difference in shape and composition of these fillers. The results of the characterizations showed evidence of double or triple interaction with the reactive groups of PE– g–MAH and the hydroxyl (–OH) present in CLF, MMT, and TiO2.
