Cotton micro-dust (CMD) is a low-cost feedstock produced by cotton spinning mills. It consists of cellulose as the chief component, along with other non-cellulosic lignin and extractives. The two-stage pretreatment of CMD using alkali and acid facilitated cellulose enrichment and promoted favorable morphology for producing cellulose-based biomaterials. The process involves the solubilization of cellulose using an inexpensive and environmentally friendly zinc chloride solution for further conversion to biomaterials. The addition of novel cross-linker monosodium glutamate (MSG) at 5% (by weight) concentration facilitated the preparation of the polymer matrix at room temperature. The gelation process that transformed the liquid mixture into a solid polymer matrix depended on the shear-sensitive interaction between the Zn–CMD solution and the MSG. Further, the mix of CMD–ZnCl₂ and MSG was converted into a biocomposite by a reinforcement step with pit sand. The Zn–CMD–MSG acted as a binder for sand particles and formed a solid biocomposite. The complex association of sand with CMD conferred high thermal stability to the biocomposite. Moreover, the biocomposite showed good mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of 20 MPa and a flexural strength of 12 MPa. Hence, the present process is promising for developing a cellulose-based green composite from low-cost cotton waste and sand.

棉花微尘（CMD）是棉纺厂生产的一种低成本原料。它的主要成分是纤维素以及其他非纤维素木质素和萃取物。使用碱和酸对 CMD 进行两阶段预处理可促进纤维素富集，并为生产纤维素基生物材料提供有利的形态。该工艺包括使用廉价且环保的氯化锌溶液溶解纤维素，以便进一步转化为生物材料。添加 5%（重量）浓度的新型交联剂谷氨酸钠（MSG）有助于在室温下制备聚合物基质。将液态混合物转化为固态聚合物基质的凝胶化过程取决于 Zn-CMD 溶液与味精之间的剪切敏感性相互作用。此外，CMD-ZnCl2 和味精的混合物通过坑砂增强步骤转化为生物复合材料。Zn-CMD-MSG 可作为沙粒的粘合剂，形成固体生物复合材料。沙子与 CMD 的复杂结合赋予了生物复合材料很高的热稳定性。此外，该生物复合材料还具有良好的机械性能，拉伸强度达 20 兆帕，弯曲强度达 12 兆帕。因此，本工艺有望利用低成本的棉花废料和沙子开发出纤维素基绿色复合材料。

The utilization of Afşin-Elbistan fly ash (FA), which cannot be used in cement and concrete industry in production of geopolymers, has been studied with some preliminary trials. In this study, FA of Afşin-Elbistan thermal power plant, which does not fit any of FA classes according to ASTM C 618, was used as a geopolymer binder raw material. The main motivation of the study is to investigate the partial usability of this type of FA, which is not sufficient on its own and creates a large amount of waste, as a geopolymer raw material. FA was replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) by the ratios of 25% and 50% (by weights) in order to develop the properties of geopolymer concrete. Sodium silicate (SS) and sodium hydroxide (SH) (10 and 14 M) were used as activators. Three different activator to binder ratios (0.45, 0.55 and 0.65) and three SS/SH ratios (0.75, 1.0 and 1.5) were chosen. Unit weight, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and ultrasonic pulse velocity tests were performed for 28 and 60 days. In order to investigate the microstructure, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were performed. As a result, GGBFS incorporation enhanced the properties of Afşin-Elbistan FA-based geopolymer concrete. With the increase of GGBFS content, the compressive strength values increased. The highest strengths were obtained from 50% GGBFS groups. The results revealed that Afşin-Elbistan FA (AEFA), which has the highest waste reserve among the thermal power plant fly ashes in Turkey, could be evaluated as partial geopolymer raw material.

阿费辛-埃尔比斯坦粉煤灰（FA）不能用于水泥和混凝土工业，对其在土工聚合物生产中的应用进行了初步研究。在这项研究中，阿费辛-埃尔比斯坦热电厂的粉煤灰被用作土工聚合物粘合剂原料，而根据 ASTM C 618 标准，这种粉煤灰不属于任何一种粉煤灰等级。这项研究的主要动机是调查这类 FA 作为土工聚合物原料的部分可用性，因为这种 FA 本身并不充分，而且会产生大量废物。为了开发土工聚合物混凝土的性能，分别以 25% 和 50% 的比例（按重量计）用磨细高炉矿渣（GGBFS）替代 FA。硅酸钠（SS）和氢氧化钠（SH）（10 M 和 14 M）被用作活化剂。选择了三种不同的活化剂与粘合剂比率（0.45、0.55 和 0.65）和三种 SS/SH 比率（0.75、1.0 和 1.5）。分别进行了 28 天和 60 天的单位重量、抗压强度、劈裂拉伸强度和超声波脉速测试。为了研究微观结构，还进行了扫描电子显微镜（SEM）分析。结果表明，掺入 GGBFS 增强了以阿夫辛-埃尔比斯坦 FA 为基础的土工聚合物混凝土的性能。随着 GGBFS 含量的增加，抗压强度值也随之增加。50％ GGBFS 组的强度最高。研究结果表明，土耳其火电厂粉煤灰中废物储量最高的阿夫申-埃尔比斯坦 FA（AEFA）可作为部分土工聚合物原料进行评估。

Starch is a natural polymer containing a large number of active hydroxyl groups, which make it an ideal material for preparation of adsorption functional aerogels. In this work, a modified carboxymethyl corn starch/organic glass composite aerogel (CMSHA-GO) was successfully prepared using starch as raw material and hexamethylenediamine as cross-linking agent. It showed significant adsorption properties for heavy metal ions. When the composite aerogel was introduced with 10 mg GO, the adsorption capacity of CMSHA-GO₁₀ aerogel for heavy metal ions was in the order of Cr³⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Cr(VI) > Pb²⁺, while its adsorption performance for heavy metal ion Cr³⁺ was mainly discussed. The structures and morphologies of the composite aerogels were characterized by FTIR, XRD, and SEM techniques. The results showed that the CMSHA-GO composite aerogel has a stable three-dimensional mesh-like porous structure with good conditions for metal ion adsorption. In addition, the effects of different GO contents, pH values, and time conditions on the adsorption of metal ions by the CMSHA-GO composite aerogel were discussed. When the weight ratio of carboxymethyl starch: hexanediamine: GO was 10:0.1:0.1, the CMSHA-GO₁₀ composite aerogel showed the best adsorption performance for Cr³⁺ ions. The adsorption equilibrium was reached within 3 h at an initial Cr³⁺ concentration of 500 mg·L⁻¹, with a maximum equilibrium adsorption capacity (q_e^cale) of 212.7 mg/g.

淀粉是一种天然聚合物，含有大量活性羟基，是制备吸附功能气凝胶的理想材料。本研究以淀粉为原料，六亚甲基二胺为交联剂，成功制备了改性羧甲基玉米淀粉/有机玻璃复合气凝胶（CMSHA-GO）。它对重金属离子具有明显的吸附特性。当复合气凝胶中引入 10 mg GO 时，CMSHA-GO10 气凝胶对重金属离子的吸附能力依次为 Cr3+ > Ni2+ > Cu2+ > Cr(VI) > Pb2+，主要讨论了其对重金属离子 Cr3+ 的吸附性能。傅立叶变换红外光谱、X射线衍射和扫描电镜技术对复合气凝胶的结构和形貌进行了表征。结果表明，CMSHA-GO 复合气凝胶具有稳定的三维网状多孔结构，具有良好的金属离子吸附条件。此外，还讨论了不同的 GO 含量、pH 值和时间条件对 CMSHA-GO 复合气凝胶吸附金属离子的影响。当羧甲基淀粉：己二胺：GO 的重量比为 10:0.1:0.2 时，CMSHA-GO 复合气凝胶对金属离子的吸附效果最好：GO的重量比为10:0.1:0.1时，CMSHA-GO10复合气凝胶对Cr3+离子的吸附性能最好。在初始 Cr3+ 浓度为 500 mg-L-1 时，3 h 内达到吸附平衡，最大平衡吸附容量（qecale）为 212.7 mg/g。

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has good film-forming and barrier properties and can be used as packaging and biomedical materials, etc. However, PVA burns easily and is prone to melt dropping, limiting its wider application. In this study, Cu₂O/Cs was prepared by coating chitosan (Cs) on the surface of cuprous oxide (Cu₂O), and mixed with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and phytic acid (PA) to prepare PVA composites. The results showed that the limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of the PVA composite with 8% (by weight) APP and 2% (by weight) Cu₂O/Cs as flame retardants was 30.6%, which was 50.7% higher than that of pure PVA. Compared with pure PVA, its composite peak heat release rate (pHRR) was significantly reduced by 81.1%, and its total heat release rate (THR) was also markedly reduced by 67.7%, while its time to ignition (TTI) was increased by 41 s. The main reasons were that the gas generated by APP decomposition during heating reduced the concentration of combustible gas, the generated phosphorus-containing substances promoted the dehydration and carbonization of PVA, and Cu₂O and chitosan (Cs) improved the compactness of the carbon layer. In particular, the incorporation of Cu₂O/Cs improved the mechanical properties of our PVA composites compared with those containing only APP and PA. In short, the combination of Cu₂O/Cs and phosphorus-based flame retardants improved the flame retardant performance of PVA at low additions while taking into account the mechanical properties. This is expected to expand the range of applications of PVA.

Graphical Abstract

聚乙烯醇（PVA）具有良好的成膜性和阻隔性，可用作包装材料和生物医学材料等。然而，聚乙烯醇易燃烧且易熔滴，限制了其更广泛的应用。本研究通过在氧化亚铜（Cu2O）表面包覆壳聚糖（Cs）制备了 Cu2O/Cs，并与聚磷酸铵（APP）和植酸（PA）混合制备了 PVA 复合材料。结果表明，以 8%（重量）APP 和 2%（重量）Cu2O/Cs 作为阻燃剂的 PVA 复合材料的极限氧指数（LOI）值为 30.6%，比纯 PVA 高 50.7%。与纯 PVA 相比，其复合材料的峰值放热率（pHRR）明显降低了 81.1%，总放热率（THR）也明显降低了 67.7%，而着火时间（TTI）则增加了 41 秒，主要原因是加热过程中 APP 分解产生的气体降低了可燃气体的浓度，产生的含磷物质促进了 PVA 的脱水和碳化，而 Cu2O 和壳聚糖（Cs）则提高了碳层的致密性。特别是，与仅含 APP 和 PA 的 PVA 复合材料相比，Cu2O/Cs 的加入改善了复合材料的机械性能。简而言之，Cu2O/Cs 与磷系阻燃剂的结合提高了 PVA 在低添加量下的阻燃性能，同时兼顾了机械性能。这有望扩大 PVA 的应用范围。

Nanoparticles are materials that have diameter/dimension between 1 and 100 nm. The term also covers materials as high as 500 nm in diameter or length. Their emergence has given birth to a new set of nanocomposites with more promising properties than the conventional composites. Moreover, polyethylene products generate wastes. Their managements can create wealth and reduce dependence on the virgin polyethylene for green material productions. In this study, Delonix regia pod and eggshell hybrid nanoparticles, up to 12% (by wt), were incorporated into the low-density polyethylene. Properties of the developed hybrid nanocomposites were investigated and compared with those of the existing automobile dashboard cover material properties in literature. Results obtained from mechanical examinations show 332.77, 179.19, 807.32, 63.61, 4.33, 26.61 and 21.35% increases in tensile strength, percentage elongation, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural deflection, flexural energy absorbed and hardness, respectively; with consequent reductions in the flexural modulus and impact energy by respective 4.67 and 4.40% at 4% Delonix regia pod, 6% eggshell particles addition to the virgin low density polyethylene. Maximum impact energy of 25.09 J equal to 16.48% increase was noticed at 4% Delonix regia pod 4% eggshell particle addition to the recycled low-density polyethylene. Virgin low-density polyethylene containing 4% Delonix regia pod, 6% eggshell particles having greater tensile strength and impact energy than each of the existing materials for the automobile dashboard cover is confirmed suitable for both upper and lower layers of the dashboard cover. Hence, 4% Delonix regia pod 6% eggshell particles reinforced virgin low-density polyethylene has 28.39 ± 1.42 Nmm⁻² tensile strength; 1137.42 ± 15 Nmm⁻² tensile modulus; 6.24 ± 0.68% tensile elongation; 21.86 ± 0.9 J impact energy; 69.17 ± 3.51 VHN hardness value; 28.11 ± 0.84 Nmm⁻² flexural strength; 7.42 ± 0.8 flexural deformation; 314.41 ± 20.53 Nmm⁻² flexural modulus and 0.30 J flexural energy.

纳米粒子是指直径/尺寸在 1 到 100 纳米之间的材料。该术语还包括直径或长度高达 500 纳米的材料。它们的出现催生了一系列新的纳米复合材料，其性能比传统复合材料更有前途。此外，聚乙烯产品会产生废弃物。对其进行管理可以创造财富，减少绿色材料生产对原始聚乙烯的依赖。在这项研究中，德洛尼西娅豆荚和蛋壳杂化纳米粒子（重量比高达 12%）被加入到低密度聚乙烯中。研究了所开发的混合纳米复合材料的性能，并将其与文献中现有的汽车仪表板盖材料性能进行了比较。机械测试结果表明，在原始低密度聚乙烯中添加 4% 的雷公藤荚果和 6% 的蛋壳颗粒时，拉伸强度、伸长率百分比、拉伸模量、弯曲强度、弯曲挠度、弯曲能量吸收和硬度分别增加 332.77%、179.19%、807.32%、63.61%、4.33%、26.61% 和 21.35%；弯曲模量和冲击能量分别降低 4.67% 和 4.40%。在再生低密度聚乙烯中添加 4% 的王不留行豆荚和 4% 的蛋壳颗粒时，冲击能最大为 25.09 J，增加了 16.48%。含有 4% 的王不留行荚果和 6% 的蛋壳颗粒的原生低密度聚乙烯的拉伸强度和冲击能均高于现有的汽车仪表板盖材料，因此被证实适用于仪表板盖的上层和下层。因此，4% 德洛尼西娅荚果 6% 蛋壳颗粒增强的原生低密度聚乙烯具有 28.39 ± 1.42 Nmm-2 的拉伸强度；1137.42 ± 15 Nmm-2 的拉伸模量；6.24 ± 0.68% 的拉伸伸长率；21.86 ± 0.9 J冲击能；69.17 ± 3.51 VHN硬度值；28.11 ± 0.84 Nmm-2弯曲强度；7.42 ± 0.8弯曲变形；314.41 ± 20.53 Nmm-2弯曲模量和0.30 J弯曲能。

A relatively complete continuous relaxation spectrum H(τ) of poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) (SIS) two-phase system was divided into five regions based on the variation of H(τ) strength, which corresponded to: (1) glass transition of PI phase, (2) high elastic state of PI phase, (3) glass transition of PS phase, (4) high elastic state of PS phase, and (5) viscous flow state of the entire SIS molecular chain. Five regions only appeared in SIS1105, because the molecular of SIS1105 experienced glass transition of PI block, PS block, and viscous flow of the whole molecular chain. The stress relaxation of SIS was influenced by the S/I ratios, because the PS microdomains ultimately determined the relaxation characteristics. The stress relaxation of SIS system was also closely related to the viscous flow transition temperature (T_f). When the S/I ratio was low (15/85), forced stress relaxation occurred; when the S/I ratio was high (29/71 and 45/55), the SIS system did not show stress relaxation below the T_f. When the temperature was higher than the T_f, the S/I ratio did not affect the stress relaxation. The relaxation information obtained from the Cole–Cole diagram further verified the analysis of the continuous relaxation spectrum H(τ) and stress relaxation.

Graphical abstract

根据H(τ)强度的变化，将聚(苯乙烯-异戊二烯-苯乙烯)(SIS)两相体系相对完整的连续弛豫谱H(τ)分为五个区域，分别对应于(1) PI 相的玻璃化转变；(2) PI 相的高弹性状态；(3) PS 相的玻璃化转变；(4) PS 相的高弹性状态；(5) 整个 SIS 分子链的粘性流动状态。仅在 SIS1105 中出现了五个区域，这是因为 SIS1105 的分子经历了 PI 块、PS 块的玻璃化转变和整个分子链的粘性流动。SIS 的应力松弛受 S/I 比的影响，因为 PS 微区最终决定了松弛特性。SIS 系统的应力松弛还与粘流转变温度（Tf）密切相关。当 S/I 比值较低时（15/85），会出现强迫应力松弛；当 S/I 比值较高时（29/71 和 45/55），SIS 系统在 Tf 以下不会出现应力松弛。当温度高于 Tf 时，S/I 比不影响应力松弛。从科尔-科尔图中获得的松弛信息进一步验证了对连续松弛谱 H(τ) 和应力松弛的分析。

CdSe nanostructures, well-investigated for their optical properties, have been evaluated here as functional fillers in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, for packaging applications. Polymer-nanocomposite films of PVA and CdSe nanoparticles (nanospheres and nanorods), were evaluated for their thermal, mechanical, optical and physico-chemical properties. Microemulsion-synthesized CdSe were loaded in PVA films by solution casting method. CdSe-PVA films were prepared at varying morphology (spherical to rod-like) of CdSe, by controlling the reaction time (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h) at 1% (by weight) loading. The effect of loading of CdSe was also studied at 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10% (by weight) for the reaction time of 4 h. CdSe nanoparticles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The melting point and heat of fusion of CdSe-PVA films (for the reaction time of 4 h) exhibited the maximum values of 216.9 ± 0.73 °C and 6.78 ± 0.24 J/g, respectively, at 1% (by weight) of CdSe, as compared with 209.8 ± 0.52 °C and 3.76 ± 0.1 J/g for plain PVA film. The CdSe-PVA films with spherical CdSe showed the maximum enhancement of 118 and 87.4% for Young’s modulus (MPa) and modulus of toughness (MPa), respectively as compared with PVA films. With increasing load of CdSe, the CdSe-PVA films showed an increase in the two moduli with maximum enhancement of 124 and 57 at 10% (by weight) of CdSe, as compared with PVA films. The optical, colorimetric, chemical resistance, UV-hindrance, water content and antibacterial properties of CdSe-PVA films were also investigated.

Herein, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)/hyperbranched polyethylenimine (HPEI) blend matrix was infused with graphene oxide–zinc oxide (GO–ZnO) filler to fabricate mixed matrix membranes (MMMs). These membranes were investigated by dynamic mechanical–thermal analysis (DMTA), single and binary gas (CO₂/N₂ and CO₂/CH₄) experiments and for anti-plasticization performance. Varying loading fractions [0.1%, 0.3%, 0.5% and 0.7% (by weight)] of as-synthesised GO–ZnO filler were incorporated into the blend matrix (PVDF/HPEI). Utmost consideration was provided to understand the microstructure of MMMs through DMTA and its influence on gas separation performance. Single gas testing revealed that MMMs exhibited ~ 82% improved CO₂ permeability as compared to the control membrane, at 0.5% (by weight) GO–ZnO filler loading. During binary gas experiments, CO₂ permeability increased by 79%, whereas CO₂/N₂ and CO₂/CH₄ selectivity was enhanced by 136% and 142%, respectively. The highly CO₂-phillic amine moieties of HPEI and the polar oxygen-containing moieties on GO sheets augmented the CO₂ diffusivity and sorption. Amongst various membranes, MMMs loaded with 0.5% (by weight) GO–ZnO tested at various pressures (4, 6, 8 and 10 bars) demonstrated the highest inhibitory effect on the CO₂-induced plasticization. DMTA suggested that GO–ZnO created a robust interfacial adhesion with PVDF/HPEI, forming a rigid microstructure that was propitious in resisting pressure-induced plasticization. With a significant boost in thermo-mechanical attributes and CO₂ separation efficiency, GO–ZnO-loaded MMMs suggest intriguing prospects in CO₂ separation applications.

在本文中，聚偏二氟乙烯（PVDF）/超支化聚乙烯亚胺（HPEI）共混基质注入了氧化石墨烯-氧化锌（GO-ZnO）填料，以制造混合基质膜（MMMs）。这些膜通过动态机械热分析（DMTA）、单一和二元气体（CO2/N2 和 CO2/CH4）实验以及抗塑化性能进行了研究。在混合基质（PVDF/HPEI）中加入了不同负载分数[0.1%、0.3%、0.5%和 0.7%（重量比）]的合成 GO-ZnO 填料。研究人员通过 DMTA 对 MMM 的微观结构及其对气体分离性能的影响进行了深入研究。单气体测试表明，与对照膜相比，当 GO-ZnO 填料含量为 0.5%（重量百分比）时，MMM 的二氧化碳渗透率提高了约 82%。在二元气体实验中，二氧化碳渗透性提高了 79%，而 CO2/N2 和 CO2/CH4 选择性分别提高了 136% 和 142%。HPEI 的高二氧化碳illic胺分子和 GO 片上的极性含氧分子提高了二氧化碳的扩散性和吸附性。在各种膜中，在不同压力（4、6、8 和 10 巴）下测试的负载了 0.5%（按重量计）GO-ZnO 的 MMM 对二氧化碳诱导的塑化具有最高的抑制作用。DMTA 表明，GO-ZnO 与 PVDF/HPEI 形成了强大的界面粘附力，形成了刚性微结构，有利于抵抗压力引起的塑化。随着热机械属性和二氧化碳分离效率的显著提高，GO-ZnO负载的MMMs在二氧化碳分离应用中展现出了引人入胜的前景。图文摘要

This study assesses the impact of raw and alkali-treated Borassus Flabellifer (BF) fibers in an epoxy composite. It examines mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and impact resistance to gauge load-bearing capacity and resilience to sudden forces in “unmanned aerial vehicle” (UAV) landing gear. Attenuated total reflectance for Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) were taken to confirm the composition of fiber before and after alkali treatment. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis probes the composite microstructure, shedding light on fiber-matrix interaction and overall morphology. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) offers insights into elemental composition, aiding comprehension of element distribution and fiber-epoxy matrix interplay. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed the thermal stability of the prepared epoxy composites. Water absorption properties are evaluated to gauge resistance to moisture, vital for durability in humid or wet conditions. These findings provide vital data on mechanical properties, SEM microstructure, EDX elemental composition, and water absorption for UAV landing gear applications. The comprehensive investigation of deformation results indicated that Borassus Flabellifer (BF) composite performed exceptionally well for UAV landing gear applications, surpassing banana/epoxy, sisel/epoxy, and coir/epoxy composites. With a landing gear deformation of 1.50 mm under 100 N load, these outcomes underscore the potential for enhancing sustainability in UAV designs. The findings of this study can pave the way for the development of more environmentally friendly and sustainable UAVs to address the critical needs of the rapidly growing UAV industry.

This is a study on the mechanical properties of kenaf/glass-reinforced polyester composites intended for use in structural profiles with a wall thickness by max. 6 mm. Mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, bending and interlaminar shear stress were investigated by comparing the hybrid variants with the pure fibreglass variant. According to the study, woven kenaf/unidirectional glass roving (WK/UG) alternate recorded the highest tensile properties among hybrid samples. It demonstrated a decrement of about 8.2% of the tensile strength (404.54 MPa) and 10.7% of tensile modulus (24.54 GPa) compared to conventional fibreglass samples. Alternating WK/UG samples demonstrated higher compressive strength (417.15 MPa) compared to other hybrid specimens, recording a slight decrease at 6.09% compared to pure fibreglass composites. The highest bending properties were also observed in hybrid alternate WK/UG samples among other hybrid laminates with only a decrement of 4.13% in modulus of rupture (456.33 MPa) and 1.9% in modulus of elasticity (14.49 GPa) when compared to the control specimen. The ILSS of hybrid composites 2WK/3UG/2WK (30.97 MPa) and WK/UG alternate (34.90 MPa) showed good agreement with the pure fibreglass (42.33 MPa) composites. Using SEM images, tensile fractured specimens were examined to comprehend composites’ failure mechanism and interfacial adhesion. Overall, woven kenaf/unidirectional glass roving alternate sequence is chosen as a potential alternative in developing structural profiles for moderate load-bearing structural applications.

Mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, bending and interlaminar shear stress were investigated by comparing the hybrid variants with the pure fibreglass variant. According to the study, woven kenaf/unidirectional glass roving (WK/UG) alternate recorded the highest tensile properties among hybrid samples. It demonstrated a decrement of about 8.2% of the tensile strength (404.54 MPa) and 10.7% of tensile modulus (24.54 GPa) compared to conventional fibreglass samples. Alternating WK/UG samples demonstrated higher compressive strength (417.15 MPa) compared to other hybrid specimens, recording a slight decrease at 6.09% compared to pure fibreglass composites. The highest bending properties were also observed in hybrid alternate WK/UG samples among other hybrid laminates with only a decrement of 4.13% in modulus of rupture (456.33 MPa) and 1.9% in modulus of elasticity (14.49 GPa) when compared to the control specimen. The ILSS of hybrid composites 2WK/3UG/2WK (30.97 MPa) and WK/UG alternate (34.90 MPa) showed good agreement with the pure fibreglass (42.33 MPa) composites. Using SEM images, tensile fractured specimens were examined to comprehend composites’ failure mechanism and interfacial adhesion. Overall, woven kenaf/unidirectional glass roving alternate sequence is chosen as a potential alternative in developing structural profiles for moderate load-bearing structural applications. In contrast, 3WK/UG/3WK with a higher kenaf to glass ratio demonstrate potential in low load-bearing structural profile applications.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":601,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Polymer Journal","volume":"33 9","pages":"1231 - 1244"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13726-024-01319-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140884512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
