Effect of nanoclay and seashell filler addition on physical, mechanical, thermal and flammability characteristics of natural fiber hybrid polymer composites

In the current work, physical, mechanical, and flammability characteristics of Sida acuta (SA)/ Abutilon indicum (AI) natural fiber reinforced hybrid composites added with two fillers nanoclay at 1, 1.5, 2 and 3.0 wt% and with seashell powder at 5, 10 and 15 wt% was investigated....

DBDM: a formal framework for bias detection and mitigation in distributed large language models

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being deployed in distributed settings, where different nodes may work on heterogeneous data, user populations, and local model updates. In such settings, bias can arise in an emergent fashion via local interactions and spread over th...

Harnessing polymeric materials for applications in electric vehicle with sustainability contributions and prospects

The accelerated global shift to EVs is revolutionizing the field of materials science, thereby making polymeric materials indispensable to all subsystems in EVs. In this context, this review provides a critical analysis of the evolution, classification, and applications of polyme...

A fault-aware, explainable proximal policy optimization based intelligent control framework with neuromorphic-inspired encoding for voltage and frequency stability

Abstract High penetration of inverter-interfaced generation, faults, and sudden load changes in power systems makes them more vulnerable to voltage and frequency deviations. Traditional controllers often struggle to adapt to varying disturbance types and severities in real time....

Optimized deep convolutional pulse-coupled neural network-based dynamic load balancing framework for effective edge-cloud IoT processing in smart cities

Purpose The rapid expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystems in smart cities generates massive heterogeneous data streams that demand energy-efficient, secure and low-latency processing. Traditional cloud-centric systems face communication overhead, workload imbalance and l...

Transforming agricultural stem waste into value‐added microcrystalline cellulose: A sustainable resource recovery strategy using Moringa oleifera

Abstract This article examines the potential of Moringa oleifera stem waste as a sustainable and underutilized lignocellulosic source for the production of high‐purity microcrystalline cellulose (MCC). The biomass was first optimally alkaline‐delignified, bleached, and acid‐hydro...

Thermal, Exergetic, Economic and Environmental Analysis From Tubular Solar Still Using Walnut Shell as Thermal Energy Storage

ABSTRACT Across the arid and semi‐arid regions, the scarcity of fresh water is a critical problem. The demand for fresh water can be solved using conventional desalination plants; however, their high energy demand and initial capital cost remain their constraint. A solar still is...

A material centric review to enhance the thermal resistance and stability of natural fiber polymer composites supported by patent landscape analysis

High temperature resistance and thermal stability are the significant characteristics of the polymeric materials which are employed in elevated temperature applications. Such resistance and stability of the polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers are measured using thei...
