.... The composites can help regulate the indoor temperature, while the introduction of phase-change microcapsule (mPCM) technology can make up for the shortcomings of traditional PCMs. Therefore, in this study, two different mPCMs were blended into whisker-reinforced β-hemihydrate phosphogypsum (β-HPG)-based...

... cushioning materials. The results indicate that the pore structure of starch-based foaming materials can be controlled by changing the fiber dosage, and a small or excessive amount of fiber is not conducive to the uniform foaming of starch-based composite foams. When 3 g of wastepaper fiber (17.6% by weight...

...Ümit Tayfun; Alinda Öykü Akar; Fırat Hacıoğlu; Mehmet Doğan Tuning the chemical functionality of lignocellulosic fiber plays a key role in the development of mechanically strong composites to overcome the lack of compatibility between composite phases, which is a major challenge in multidimensional...

... composite. The matrix material was derived from car scrap aluminium alloy wheels (SAAWs). SAC is expected to enhance the mechanical properties, and RHA proves to be very useful in increasing the strength and hardness of aluminium. Alumina particles were taken as a reference to compare waste materials...

...-composite with sodium alginate, gellan gum and glycerol. The response surface methodology was used to optimize the concentrations of sodium alginate (0–4%), gellan gum (0–1%) and glycerol (0–1%) as fillers in starch bio-composites based on the resulting tensile strength, hardness and water absorption...
