Abstract:

Ecological floating beds, with their compact footprint and mobility, offer a promising solution for sustainable surface water remediation in rural areas. However, low removal efficiency and instability still limit its application. In this study, iron–carbon-based fillers were integrated into ecological floating beds to investigate their impact and mechanisms in removing pollutants, including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals. Results indicate that all five fillers (activated carbon, iron–carbon fillers, sponge iron, activated carbon + iron–carbon fillers, and activated carbon + sp

Abstract:

The performance of natural rubber (NR), a naturally occurring and sustainable material, can be greatly enhanced by adding different fillers to the NR matrix. The homogeneous dispersion of fillers in the NR matrix is a key factor in their ability to reinforce. As a novel method, wet mixing technology may effectively provide good filler dispersion in the NR matrix while overcoming the drawbacks of conventional dry mixing. This study examines the literature on wet mixing fillers, such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, silica, carbon black, and others, to prepare natural rubber composites. It also fo

Abstract This paper presents the mechanical characterization of a novel composite material comprising Kenaf fiber reinforced epoxy polymer with Terminalia chebula filler. There is more interest in using natural fibres and bio-fillers in polymer composites due to the need for environmentally acceptable and sustainable products. Terminalia chebula, a bio-filler rich in phenolic compounds, is coupled with the high strength and low density of kenaf fibre composite to improve mechanical qualities and provide sustainability. This study investigates the effect of chemical treatment and the addition o

Abstract:

To preserve the environment and its resources for future generations, research must focus on alternate methods of producing materials that begin with an environmentally friendly and sustainable source. In view of this, nanosize reinforcing fillers were obtained from date palm agricultural waste without use of any toxic chemicals. Date nanofillers (DNF) with typical filler sizes ranging from 30-110 nm in width and 1-10 mm in length were obtained using rotary mechanical ball milling methods. This filler was then dry blended with the polypropylene (PP) to make a biocomposites thin film to study p

Abstract:

The growing concerns for the environmental impact of resource depletion and carbon emissions has led to the current study of using novel, sustainable materials in natural rubber compounds. The principal goal of this study was to reduce the usage of the non-renewable filler carbon black (CB). For this purpose, two waste-derived calcium carbonates were introduced in natural rubber compounds as a partial replacement for CB. To enhance their performance, the compounds were modified using alpha-lipoic acid and a titanate as in situ coupling agents. The effect of these renewable fillers and coupling

Abstract:

Vitrimeric materials have emerged as fascinating and sustainable materials owing to their malleability, reprocessability, and recyclability. Sustainable vitrimeric materials can be prepared by reinforcing polymeric matrix with bioderived fillers. In the current work, a sustainable vitrimer is prepared by incorporating biomass-derived activated carbon (AC) filler into the epoxy matrix to achieve enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. Thus, prepared biocomposite vitrimers demonstrate a lower-temperature self-healing (70°C for 5 min) via disulfide exchanges, compared to the pristine epoxy vi

Due to its versatility, low cost and relative environmental safety, polyvinyl chloride be-longs to the most widely used group of thermoplastics. The key method in the production of composites based on polyvinyl chloride is the introduction of additives that improve the required characteristics. The expansion of the scope of polymeric materials leads to the development of composites with increased thermal stability. Achieving this goal with the help of phosphorus-containing and halogen-containing additives is not always justified and possible. Mineral fillers do not lose their relevance in the

Rye flour is a commonly used filler in plywood production, made from finely ground rye grains. It enhances glue viscosity, ensuring even distribution and better adhesion, which improves the plywood’s mechanical properties, dimensional stability, and resistance to warping. Additionally, rye flour increases the plywood’s strength and durability, making it more resistant to mechanical damage and external factors. Its affordability and availability further support its widespread use in plywood production. However, the growing availability of new raw materials has sparked interest in alternative fi

The use of traditional inorganic fillers and pigments for both filling and coating applications in papermaking may have certain limitations in such aspects as recyclability and combustibility. Novel renewable organic fillers and pigments derived from natural resources can possibly be completely recyclable, combustible, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly, and they can potentially be used as substitutes for inorganic fillers and pigments to improve the recyclability and other properties of the paper products.
