Overview

Randomized trial evaluates mechanical and thermal properties of hybrid composites made from agricultural waste, indicating environmental benefits.

Key Points

  • This research aims to develop sustainable hybrid composites from agricultural waste and evaluate their performance in various properties.
  • Four composite formulations were produced using pinecone and cottonseed waste as reinforcement materials in epoxy and PCL matrices.
  • Physical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties were measured using standard testing procedures.
  • Surface morphology examined through scanning electron microscopy and crystalline structure analyzed with x-ray diffraction.
  • Epoxy formulations showed superior tensile and flexural performance with reduced moisture uptake and lower thermal conductivity.
  • PCL-based composites achieved higher compressive load resistance and greater deformation capability, suitable for biodegradable applications.
  • SEM analysis revealed differences in filler distribution, and XRD confirmed the crystalline features of both polymer matrices and reinforcements.
