Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the environmental and economic threats posed by the overabundance of Prosopis juliflora (PJ) fibers in developing countries and proposes using these fibers in polymer composites as a solution.
- The focus is on creating a composite material by mixing PJ fibers with a polylactic matrix and zinc oxide nanofillers, utilizing the hand layup technique for fabrication.
- Results indicate that the zinc oxide filler significantly improves the mechanical properties (like tensile and flexural strength) and thermal behavior (like thermal conductivity and heat resistance) of the PJ composite, with specific strength values reported for sample S5.
Environmental consciousness motivates scientists to devise an alternative method for producing natural fiber composite materials in order to decrease the demand for synthetic fibers. This study explores the potential of a novel composite material derived from madar fiber-reinforced epoxy with porcelain filler particulates, designed specifically for biomedical instrumentation applications. The primary focus is to assess the material's structural, mechanical, and antibacterial properties.
