This study developed UH-WPCs with 70–90 wt% loading using six binary alloy matrices with multimodal and unimodal distributions. FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis revealed an average MAPE esterification rate of 11.9% at 80 wt% loading. Density, morphology, and dynamic mechanical analysis revealed that multimodal high molecular weight alloys significantly improved uniformity and interfacial adhesion compared to unimodal alloys. This increased tensile, flexural, and impact strengths by 30.1%, 22.7%, and 61.8%, respectively, while reducing thermal expansion, creep, and water absorption by 14.0%, 17.1%, and 13.1%. The low molecular weight fraction of multimodal HDPE facilitated miscibility with MAPE, promoted esterification, and minimized fiber damage, while the high molecular weight fraction enhanced composite integrity and cohesiveness.

Production requirements can then be levied on the inputs, such as maximum air temperature and minimum cure cycle, and simultaneously on the outputs, such as degree of cure, maximum part temperature, and part temperature rate limits. Co-training the NNs results in an optimized input producing outputs that meet all OOA process requirements.
