Purpose Here, attempts have been made to explore the possible use of Marine waste as filler materials into the bio-fibre composites. Clam shell is a type of marine waste which belongs to the class of Bivalvia. It is mainly made of aragonite crystalline polymorphs. This paper aims to develop a new class of natural fibre composite in which jute fibre as reinforcement, epoxy as matrix and clam shell, as particulate microsphere filler. The study investigates the effects of different amounts of clam shell powder on the kinetics of water absorption of jute fibre-reinforced epoxy composite. Two different environmental conditions at room temperature, i.e. distilled water and seawater, are collected for this purpose. Moisture absorption reduces when clam shell is added to the jute-epoxy composite. The curve of water absorption of jute-epoxy composites with filler loading at both environmental conditions follows as Fickian behaviour. Design/methodology/approach Hand lay-up technique to fabricate the composite – Experimental observation Findings The incorporation of Clam shell filler in jute epoxy composite modified the water absorption property of the composite. Hence the present marine waste is an potential filler in jute fibre reinforced polymer composite. Originality/value The paper demonstrates a new class hybrid composite material which uses a marine waste as important phase in the bio-fibre-reinforced composite. It is a new work submitted for original research paper.

Abstract: In dryland agriculture, Superabsorbent Polymers (SAPs) are popular. However, the mechanical property, repetitive soil water absorption and release, regularly affects the water retention and hydraulic parameters of the soil, and since this property decreases progressively over time, the results of the property appear to be unpredictable. Polymers use to in agriculture field.

Preparation and mechanical property measurement methods of bioceramic coating are introduced. HA/ZrO2 composite coating was prepared in the titanium alloy substrate with Plasma spraying equipment, and its bonding strength was measured. The influence of process parameters on bonding strength of plasma-sprayed HA/ZrO2 composite coating is simulated with computing software Mathematica and optimized.

Abstract: Engineered wood flooring comprises three or more layers of wood veneer adhered together to create a plank. The surfaces were coated to scale back water absorption. However, as wood is a hygroscopic substance, it loses and gains moisture from the atmosphere. This affects the dimensional stability of the floor badly, which emanates wide gaps between boards, cupped edges, crowning edges, and bulking of boards. Hence, the main intention of this study was to stabilize the engineered wood flooring by filling the wood cavity with linseed oil, paraffin wax, and a mixture of both, and evaluate the physical, mechanical property of treated and non-treated engineered wood flooring boards. The treatments were conducted at different temperature and durations. Keywords: Dimensional stabilization, Wood modification, Wood floor, Linseed oil, Paraffin wax, Impregnation
