Impact of Hot Water Treated Lotus Leaves on Interfacial and Physico-Mechanical of Gelatin/Lotus Leaf Composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of leaf treatments on mechanical, physical and chemical properties and thermal stability of the gelatin/lotus leaf composites was analyzed, and it was found that longitudinal orientation delivered higher mechanical properties than that of the transverse and random orientation whether untreated or treated.

Developing adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based models to predict the bending strength of polyurethane foam-cored sandwich panels

TL;DR: The aim of this paper was to improve the performance of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and to predict the flexural strength of the sandwich panels made with thin medium density fiberboard as surface layers, and polyurethane foam as a core layer, by applying metaheuristic optimization methods.

Comparison of water absorption in natural cellulosic fibres from wood and one-year crops in polypropylene composites and its influence on their mechanical properties

TL;DR: In this article, a new natural fibres/polypropylene composites were made and the water absorption in them was studied by immersion of the composites in water at three different temperatures, 23, 50 and 70 °C, and the process of absorption of water was found to follow the kinetics and mechanisms described by Fick's theory.

Effect of hydrothermal environment on moisture absorption and mechanical properties of wood flour–filled polypropylene composites

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of moisture absorption was found to be dependent on the modification of matrix, the weight percentage, mesh size, and surface treatment of wood flours, and the extent of such increment decreased with increasing the immersion temperature.
