This research finds that biocomposite materials reinforced with agricultural wastes improve mechanical properties, suggesting new avenues for sustainability.
Key Points
The biocomposite materials demonstrated improved tensile strength when reinforced with walnut powder, reaching the highest performance metrics.
Mechanical testing showed a notable impact of various agricultural wastes, with rice husk also contributing significantly to flexural strength.
Production involved mixing bioresin with 5% by weight of waste powders from walnut, hazelnut, and rice husk for enhanced characteristics.
Thermal analysis indicated significant mass loss in the materials between 200–600 °C, affecting their application in high-temperature settings.
