Bionanocarbon as a properties enhancement material in fibre reinforced nanobiocomposite was investigated for sustainable material applications. Currently, an extensive study using the micro size of biocarbon as filler or reinforcement materials has been done. However, poor fibre-matrix interface results in poor mechanical, physical, and thermal properties of the composite. Hence in this study, the nanoparticle of biocarbon was synthesised and applied as a functional material and properties enhancement in composite material. The bionanocarbon was prepared from an oil palm shell, an agriculture waste precursor, via a single-step activation technique. The nanocarbon filler loading was varied from 0, 1, 3, and 5% as nanoparticle properties enhancement in nonwoven kenaf fibre reinforcement in vinyl ester composite using resin transfer moulding technique. The functional properties were evaluated using TEM, particle size, zeta potential, and energy dispersion X-ray (EDX) elemental analysis. While the composite properties enhancement was evaluated using physical, mechanical, morphological, thermal, and wettability properties. The result indicated excellent nanofiller enhancement of fibre-matrix bonding that significantly improved the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the bionanocomposite. The SEM morphology study confirmed the uniform dispersion of the nanoparticle enhanced the fibre-matrix interaction. In this present work, the functional properties of bionanocarbon from oil palm shells (oil palm industrial waste) was incorporated in nanaobiocomposite, which significantly enhance its properties. The optimum enhancement of the bionanocomposite functional properties was obtained at 3% bionanocarbon loading. The improvement can be attributed to homogeneity and improved interfacial interaction between nanoparticles, kenaf fibre, and matrix.

Nowadays, polymer-based materials are extensively used for domestic applications because of their ease in economic production and comparable strength. However, most of the polymer materials are non-biodegradable materials. Hence, conservational environmental policies mandate the replacement or recycling of polymer-based domestic products and components. Besides, discarding flyash in the dumpsites produced from coal-fired thermal power plants aggravates environmental pollution (including groundwater resources). Hence, devising effective waste-management strategies or developing technologies for recycling wastes (polymers and flyash) is the need of the hour. This research focuses on the development of sintering technology to fabricate pavement blocks using polymer wastes and flyash. The coupon-level specimens were fabricated by varying the sintering process parameters, and the following properties were evaluated: macrostructure, hardness, density, wear rate, friction coefficient, and water absorption. The influence of sintering process parameters (temperature and time) on the properties of the developed specimen was analyzed using hybrid polynomial – radial basis function models.
