Abstract

Our research focuses on enhancing the potential of pumpkin seed waste extract as a sustainable corrosion inhibitor for metal (Fe) in 1 M HCl solution. Phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity were identified. Various investigative methodologies including experimental techniques such as Potentiodynamic Polarization (PDP) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of these pumpkin seed waste extract inhibitors in inhibiting corrosion. Electrochemical results showed that the effectiveness of the inhibitor was concentration dependent here reaching 83.11% at 3000 g/L pumpkin seed waste extract inhibitor. The PDP showed that the mixed inhibition control effectively retarded the corrosion of the metal. Furthermore, the adsorption behavior of the pumpkin seed waste extract inhibitor onto the metal follows the Langmuir isotherm model with physisorption properties. The adsorption mechanism of the inhibitor on the metal surface successfully formed a protective film on the metal surface thereby reducing the corrosion rate.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the characteristics of Cissus Sicyoides natural fibers extracted by two different methods, namely mechanical and boiling methods, and their application as reinforcing materials for epoxy resin-based composites. The characteristic of fibers was tested through physical and chemical properties, and fiber morphology, including tensile tests, FTIR, SEM and chemical composition. The results showed that the mechanical method produced fibers with higher tensile strength (431.41 MPa) and rougher surface structures, which support better mechanical bonding in the composite matrix. Meanwhile, the boiling method produced fibers with higher cellulose content (23.05%) and a cleaner and tidier surface. FTIR tests confirmed the presence of hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in both samples, while SEM results showed significant presence in the surface morphology and fiber cross-section. Composites made with fibers from the mechanical method had higher tensile strength (28.97 MPa) compared to composites from the boiling method (9.42 MPa). Overall, Cissus Sicyoides fiber has the potential as a composite reinforcing material with a mechanical extraction method that is superior in producing better mechanical performance. The findings of this study add to the use of local natural fibers as an alternative, ecologically friendly composite reinforcement for lightweight buildings.

Abstract

Holocellulose isolated from waru bark fiber (HCT) holds significant potential as a sustainable material for packaging applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. Understanding its characteristics is crucial for optimizing chemical and mechanical treatments to enhance performance. This study isolated holocellulose from waru bark fibers via sequential hydrothermal alkaline (5% NaOH) and acid-bleaching (NaClO₂-CH₃COOH) treatments at 60°C. The raw fibers (RW-HCT) and treated holocellulose (TR-HCT) were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FTIR analysis confirmed the effective removal of lignin and hemicellulose components in TR-HCT, evidenced by the disappearance of peaks at 1735.29 cm⁻¹ (C=O stretching) and 1327.68 cm⁻¹ (C–O in lignin). XRD results showed that the crystallinity index increased from 62.29% ± 3.47 (RW-HCT) to 77.41% ± 5.26 (TR-HCT). SEM micrographs revealed a rougher, cleaner fiber surface in TR-HCT due to the removal of non-cellulosic impurities. TGA demonstrated improved thermal stability of TR-HCT, with a higher residual mass (1.01%) compared to RW-HCT (−6.43%). The findings indicate that holocellulose from waru bark fibers is a promising, eco-friendly reinforcement material for developing biodegradable packaging composites.

Abstract

The use of renewable natural fibers as reinforcements in biodegradable matrices has been boosted by the development of sustainable polymer materials. The purpose of this work is to examine the properties of bio-composites made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) reinforced with micro-cellulose fibers that are isolated from the underused plant resource Paederia foetida (MSPf). After retting and alkaline and bleaching treatments, micro-cellulose was obtained and added to PVA at a weight percentage of 5% utilizing the solution casting technique. The biocomposites' mechanical, thermal, water absorption, and morphological characteristics were assessed. When MSPf was added, PVA's tensile strength rose from 20.69 MPa to 23.10 MPa, and its elastic modulus increased dramatically, suggesting better stiffness and efficient stress transfer. The improvement is ascribed to the hydroxyl groups of PVA and cellulose having strong hydrogen bonds and good interfacial adhesion. Due to limited polymer chain mobility, elongation at break decreased, but the composite showed better structural integrity. After 36 h, water absorption attained an equilibrium value of 1.461%, indicating the creation of a compact fiber-matrix network. When compared to clean PVA, thermogravimetric analysis showed better thermal stability, and SEM verified strong interfacial compatibility and homogeneous dispersion. These results show that micro-cellulose derived from Paederia foetida is a viable sustainable reinforcement that can improve the performance of bio-composites based on PVA.

Abstract

This study examines the characteristics of alkali-activated Chrysopogon zizanioides natural fibers (CZFs) to determine their applicability as reinforcements in energy-efficient biocomposite applications. Unlike earlier research, which has mostly focused on conventional natural fibers, this paper proposes CZFs as a fresh, sustainable reinforcing possibility. The study investigates the impact of different levels of NaOH (1%, 3%, and 5%) on fiber structure and functionality, offering new insights into optimizing alkali activation for improved interfacial bonding and strength in biocomposites. The results show that alkaline treatment significantly influenced the structural and functional properties of the fibers. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed an increase in crystallinity index from 36.17% in untreated fibers to 65.74% in those treated with 5% NaOH, indicating significant removal of amorphous components. FTIR spectra confirmed the reduction of non-cellulosic functional groups, while TGA/DTA analysis demonstrated improved thermal resistance, with a maximum char residue of 4.46% at 600 °C. Mechanical tests showed tensile strength increased from 252 ± 25 MPa to 553 ± 26 MPa and elongation from 4.1% to 5.8%, while SEM analysis revealed cleaner, rougher surfaces that promote fiber–matrix bonding. Additionally, fiber density rose from from 410 ± 20 to 980 ± 20 Kg/m³, and moisture content declined from 8.9% to 5.3%, reflecting improved dimensional stability. Among all treatments, the 5% NaOH-treated fibers offered the most optimal combination of structural, thermal, and interfacial performance. These results indicate that alkali-modified CZFs are promising candidates for use in energy-efficient biocomposites, particularly for lightweight structural components, automotive panels, and sustainable packaging requiring thermal durability and high stiffness.
