In conjunction with the pressing and rising needs to develop improved materials for modern
tastes and demands, developing metal-reinforced plastic composites is equally a key aspect …

This investigation explores the possibility of developing a new class of particulate-filled
polyester composites using waste marble dust as filler. The dusts collected from local …

As plastics, metals and agricultural wastes are mounting up daily, one major aspect of solid
waste management is recycling of multiple solid wastes to develop functional materials. A …

In previous works, we had found that the addition of micron-sized, irregular-shaped
aluminum (Al) powder, or Al nano platelets (flakes), improved the mechanical properties of …

Microstructural analysis is an important technique to study the extent of interaction between
metal fillers and polymers. The aim of this study is to review the investigations on the …

A total of eight reinforced concrete (RC) beams were examined in the experiment to
investigate the flexural performance of concrete beams reinforced with locally fabricated …

Polymer additive manufacturing has advanced from prototyping to producing essential parts
with improved precision and versatility. Despite challenges like surface finish and wear …

Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-metal complexes show a variety of remarkable applications in
the field of bacteriostatic and bactericidal purposes. The electrospun PVP, PVP-hafnium (Hf) …

In this study, the effects of powdered Aluminium (Al) as reinforcing fillers for polystyrene-
based resin (PBR) matrix has been evaluated based on the analysis of mechanical and …

This paper examines the density, tensile, and impact tests of polymer matrix composite
prepared by the hand lay-up method, using the matrix material unsaturated polyester resin …
