The effects of hybridization on the mechanical properties of bagasse/sisal/coir hybrid fibre-reinforced epoxy composite

Biomass fibres obtained from agricultural wastes have found application in the production of structural reinforcement for bio-composites used for manufacturing engineering components because of their low cost, biodegradable and eco-friendly advantages. The effects of hybridization on the mechanical properties of bagasse/sisal/coir reinforced epo...

Production of uniformly disperse carbon nanotube/high density polyethylene nanocomposite using novel nanofeeder injection moulding machine

Uniformly disperse single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/High density polyethylene (HDPE) nanocomposite has been produced using the developed nanofeeder injection mould machine. The dispersion state of SWCNTs in the HDPE matrix was evaluated by transmission electron microscope and Atomic force microscope images and confirmed with conductivity te...

Processing, degradation and applications of synthetic biodegradable polymers: A review

UKANAH P S*, GADIMOH S., AMEURU S U

Biodegradable polymers can either be natural or synthetic and they have been greatly applied across fields especially in medicals due to their bioabsorbability, biocompatibility and biodegradability. A lot had been achieved through the efforts of polymer scientist in using synthetic materials in human body and this is due to the versatility and ...

Synthesis and characterization of chitosan from locust

Chitin was isolated from locust using a standard procedure as described in literature with slight modifications. Chitosan was then synthesized from the isolated chitin by treatment with 50% concentration of NaOH, the degree of the deacetylation obtained was 64.4% using Potentiometer Titration method. Both chitin and chitosan ash content and mois...
