Firecrackers are a vital element of cultural festivities that happen worldwide. However, the hazardous by-products they emit have a significant impact on environmental pollution, leading to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Aluminium powder serves as the fuel in the traditional flash powder mixture, nitrate of potassium serves as an oxidizing agent, and sulphur acts as the igniter at exact concentrations.

Scientists are drawn to the new green composites because they may demonstrate qualities that are comparable to those of composites made of synthetic fibers due to concerns about environmental contamination. In this work, the potential for using the produced green composite in different buckling load-bearing structural applications is explored. The work on composite buckling characteristics is vital because one needs to know the composite's structural stability since buckling leads to structural instability.

Composite materials have a wide range of applications in emerging eco-friendly environments. Composites that created from naturally available materials are easily decomposed over time and very cost-effective. Fly ash and sugarcane fiber are widely available waste materials produced on a massive scale.

Aluminium-based fibre-metal laminates are lucrative candidates for aerospace manufacturers since they are lightweight and high-strength materials. The flower extract of aerva lanata was studied in order to prevent the effect of corrosion on the aluminium-based fibre-metal laminates (FMLs) in basic media. It is considered an eco-friendly corrosion inhibitor using natural sources.
