In the present study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been blended with starch to confine the fertiliser particles in the polymer matrix. NPK fertiliser particles have been embedded in polymer matrix by a solution casting method. Different weight ratios of PVA to starch, that are 7:3, 5:5 and 3:7 have been investigated. Morphologies of the samples have been studied using optical microscopy. Higher content of PVA in composition leads to a smooth surface of film. The prepared samples have been characterised by ionic conductivity measurements and water absorption tests to estimate the fertiliser release rate and water retention capacity, respectively. Sample containing higher content of PVA shows lower change in ionic conductivity and hence, lower release of nutrients in 24 h of soaking in distilled water. Among the three samples, composition having PVA to starch ratio of 5:5 shows uniform surface, higher water retention characteristics and thereby, better slow release capabilities.

This study investigates the sliding wear characteristics of wood ash-based banana/walnut reinforced epoxy composites using the hand layup technique. This research investigates the impact of wood ash on composites to obtain excellent wear resistance and moderate mechanical properties, which can be utilised in various engineering applications. As the percentage of wood ash increases in the composites, the tensile strength and hardness of the composites increase, but the impact energy declines marginally. The sliding wear test is carried out on a dry sliding wear test machine (pin-on-disc). The Grey-Taguchi method and optimal factor settings are used to evaluate the multiple responses of composites. The results showed that the most critical factor influencing the properties of composites is wood ash content (41%), accompanied by sliding velocity (35%), and lastly, the normal load (24%). Scanning electron microscopy was used to analyse the composites' worn surfaces to investigate the potential wear mechanism.
