Randomized trial demonstrates improved strength in green composites using activated coffee grounds, indicating sustainability benefits.

This research aims to create sustainable green composites from spent coffee grounds and epoxy resin.
Spent coffee ground waste was activated using alkali and acid treatments.
Mechanical testing evaluated composite performance with different formulations and fillers.
Characterization techniques included FTIR, XRD, and SEM.
EK formulation achieved an ultimate flexural strength of 23 ± 1.4 MPa and a flexural modulus of 1.51 ± 0.09 GPa.
EH formulation demonstrated the highest impact energy of 14 ± 0.9 J.
Environmental stability was confirmed with a low diffusion coefficient of 27.80 × 10 −3 mm 2 /h.
