Newest firstDialdehyde cellulose (DAC), featuring reactive carbonyl groups introduced via oxidation of hemp-derived cellulose fibers (confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy), was synthesized to promote strong hydrogen bonding with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) for composite development. In this study, DAC was incorporated into hydrogel composites reinforced with mycelium from three fungal species: Ganoderma boninense, Pleurotus eryngii, an…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study presents a machine learning framework for the reconstruction of fatigue life and fracture toughness in natural fiber-reinforced composites, evaluating the predictive accuracy of six regression algorithms-Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machine, Neural Network, Ridge Regression, and Lasso Regression-using a controlled synthetic dataset of 600 samples generated from established Basquin fa…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hemp-lime composites, characterized by pro-environmental features, offer an interesting alternative to traditional building materials. The properties of these materials depend on many factors, leading to uncertainty regarding the results obtained when designing building envelopes. Volumetric density-a key factor-depends on the manufacturing technique adopted, among other things, and can be controlled. In this stud…
This study investigates the use of Brewers' Spent Grains (BSGs) as a sustainable biocomposite building materials, using cornstarch as a biopolymer binder. BSG aggregates are compared with hemp shives, a conventional aggregate known for its thermal properties. Starch is employed as a natural binder in three different formulations to further reduce the carbon footprint of the building material. Considering aggregate…
This study examines the enhancement of the mechanical strength of polymer resins through reinforcement with synthetic (glass) and natural (hemp, jute) fibers, using the TRIZ-ARIZ methodology to optimize composite design for improved mechanical properties, sustainability, and economic efficiency. Mechanical testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were conducted to evaluate…
Natural fibers have attracted increasing interest as an alternative to produce environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. Particularly, hemp fibers have been widely used in various industrial applications due to their extremely unique properties. However, hemp can generate a large amount of agro-waste, and it results in an attractive source of biopolymers for the development of low-cost materials as an al…
