Selection of automotive brake friction composites reinforced by agro-waste and natural fiber: An integrated multi-criteria decision-making approach

Results in Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22, P. 102030 - 102030

Published: March 16, 2024

The aim of this study is to develop a method for selecting and ranking automotive brake friction composite materials made from agro-waste natural fibers. This achieved by using an integrated multi-criteria decision-making methodology. Consequently, six samples are produced reinforcing rice husk, husk ash, Grewia optiva fiber. These then assessed their frictional properties laboratory-scale tribometer, in accordance with the requirements outlined SAE J2522 standard. selection criteria based on analyzed tribological parameters, which include coefficients, wear, fluctuations fade-recovery performances. CRITIC (criteria importance through intercriteria correlation) was used determine performance evaluation. Based analysis, average coefficient (0.1592), recovery-3 (0.1363), (0.1347), (0.1240) were identified as key criteria. use MARCOS (measurement alternatives according compromise solution) assessment reveals that reinforced ash exhibit most favorable characteristics. validation different tools demonstrates reliability effectiveness proposed approach.

Rice Husk with PLA: 3D Filament Making and Additive Manufacturing of Samples for Potential Structural Applications

Polymers, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(2), P. 245 - 245

Published: Jan. 15, 2024

Additive manufacturing has garnered significant attention as a versatile method for fabricating green and complex composite materials. This study delves into the fabrication of polymer composites by employing polylactic acid (PLA) in conjunction with rice husk reinforcing filler. The filaments were made an extruded filament maker then used to make tensile impact samples another extrusion technology, fused deposition modeling (FDM). structural morphological characteristics materials analyzed using scanning electron microscopy SEM. Results show that both are very reliable producing parts this solid waste. research contributes increasing materials’ circularity potentially creating local social economy around production, where waste is not much used.

Sustainable Polypropylene-Based Composites with Agro-Waste Fillers: Thermal, Morphological, Mechanical Properties and Dimensional Stability

Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 17(3), P. 696 - 696

Published: Feb. 1, 2024

Natural fiber composites (NFC) are eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic polymers. However, some intrinsic natural fillers’ properties hinder their widespread implementation as reinforcement in polymeric matrices and require further investigation. In the scope of this study, thermal, rheologic, mechanical (tension flexural modes), morphological properties, well water absorption dimensional stability NF polypropylene (PP)-based injection molded reinforced with rice husk (rh) olive pits (op) 20 wt.% 30% wt.%, respectively, were investigated. The results suggest that higher content led a similar reduction melt flow index (MFI), independent additive type compared virgin (PPv). melting crystallization temperatures PPrh PPop did not change statistical significance. stiffer than PP matrix by up 49% possess strength tension mode at expense decreased ductility. have superior modulus bending mode, while improvement was accomplished for PP30%rh. influence fibers’ distribution bulk parts on performance confirmed based non-localized morphology evaluation, which constitutes novelty presented research. improved linear shrinkage direction PPop, positively correlating an increase filler stiffness. less susceptible sorption due composition larger surface-to-area volume ratios.
