AI Article Synopsis

  • The research focuses on using waste Ramie Root as a powdered filler in reinforced polyester composites, creating plates with varying percentages of the root and unsaturated polyester resin through a compression molding technique.
  • The optimal mechanical properties were found in the composite with a 30:70 weight ratio of Ramie Root to polyester resin, showing improvements in glass transition temperature and bonding strength, which enhance dynamic mechanical properties.
  • Thermo-gravimetric analysis indicated that incorporating Ramie Root powder raised the thermal deterioration peak from 370 °C to 418 °C, and the composites displayed high tensile strength and bending stiffness, making them suitable for light-load applications.

Article Abstract

This research works discuss about the effective utilization of waste Ramie Root, that has been in reinforced polyester composites, powdered fillers that have not been treated are used. Four different composites plate were formed with compression moulding technique process consisting of 20, 30 and 40% of Powdered Ramie Root with 80, 70 and 60% unsaturated polyester resin, respectively. The maximum mechanical properties were observed for the composite with 30:70 weight volume percentages of milled ramie root synthetic reinforced polyester. The findings show that the glass transition temperature, storage modulus, and loss factors all rise when the composition of composites changes. Additionally, the powder cohesion force (bonding strength) has a greater impact on dynamic mechanical properties. Thermo-gravimetric the inclusion of Ramie Root powder caused the thermal deterioration peak of the composite to move from 370 °C to 418 °C, according to analysis (TGA) conducted under flowing oxygen. According to the measurement of water absorption, the ideal weight ratio of Fiber: Unsaturated Polyester Resin is 30:70, which modifies the fibres' surfaces and ensures optimal adhesion between the fibre and matrix in composite materials. Scanning electron microscopic investigation is done to ascertain the fracture behaviour of the composite. As a result of their stability, high tensile strength, and bending stiffness, the produced composites can be used in light-load applications by material technologists.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the interaction between microplastics (specifically polystyrene) and heavy metals (like lead) in soil and their effects on the plant ramie during phytoremediation.* -
  • Results show that microplastics worsen the negative effects of lead on ramie, with specific types of polystyrene leading to reduced root absorption and increased lead bioavailability.* -
  • Overall, the presence of microplastics may enhance the efficiency of phytoremediation by altering soil properties and promoting healthier interactions between soil, plants, and microorganisms.*

Plants have developed precise defense mechanisms against cadmium (Cd) stress, with vacuolar compartmentalization of Cd2+ being a crucial process in Cd detoxification. The transport of Cd into vacuoles by these cation / H+ antiporters is powered by the pH gradient created by proton pumps. In this study, the full-length cDNA of a vacuolar H+-pyrophosphatase (V-PPase) gene from Boehmeria nivea (ramie), BnVP1, was isolated using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) method.

Beneficial bacteria that promote plant growth can shield plants from negative effects. Yet, the specific biological processes that drive the relationships between soil microbes and plant metabolism are still not fully understood. To investigate this further, we utilized a combination of microbiology and non-targeted metabolomics techniques to analyze the impact of plant growth-promoting bacteria on both the soil microbial communities and the metabolic functions within ramie () tissues.

Plants face multiple stresses in their natural habitats. transcription factors (TFs) play an important regulatory role in plant stress signaling, regulating the expression of multiple stress-related genes to improve plant stress resistance. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of 25 genes in three stages of ramie growth (the seedling stage, the rapid-growth stage, and the fiber maturity stage) and response to abiotic stress through qRT-PCR.
