In this study, functionally graded polymer composites (FGPC) were fabricated by dispersing sea sand throughout the epoxy, exhibiting a spatially varying composition profile within the material. Physio-mechanical properties and high strain rate compression responses were determined for the prepared FGPC by varying the composition of sea sand [0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% (by weight)]. The gradience analysis was performed using the burn-out test and weight method, and the results significantly matched, as well as the variation in gradation could be identified. The density and void content are increased with increased sea sand composition. Tensile and specific strength for neat epoxy shows a 2.41 times increase compared to 30% sea sand-filled epoxy. When loaded from the composite side of FGPC, flexural strength increased by 27.93%, hardness increased by 12.47%, and impact strength increased by 2.35 times for 30% sea sand-filled epoxy compared to neat epoxy. Under dynamic compression loading, FGPC was subjected to split-Hopkinson pressure bar experiments for neat and filled epoxy. These samples were deformed at strain rates in the 10<sup>3</sup> s<sup>−1</sup> while subjected to pressures of 2, 3, and 4 bar. Stress–strain curves and the strain rate were computed using the raw data. High strain rates improve compressive strength, which increases exponentially as the strain rates increase.

The particle diameter of PSGMA latex was found to be approximately 140 nm in SEM analysis and the particles were almost monodisperse.

Another study of this work was the evaluation of gel-breaker systems based on ammonium persulfate and sodium hypochlorite, which can be used to solve eventual operational problems arising from obstructions in the PPG application. The results indicated that the optimal chemical composition of the precursors consisted of 1.0% partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPA) crosslinked with 3.0% polyethyleneimine (PEI). This combination exhibited higher material strength and swelling capacity, exceeding 20 times its initial mass.

The relationship between these parameters and fiber diameter was analyzed. The collector speed was found to have the most influence on fiber diameter, while voltage had the least effect. A statistical model was developed to describe the interactions between these parameters and fiber diameter, validated through experimental tests.

This work aimed at using mild and green conditions for incorporating high silica content in natural rubber (NR) without using a silane coupling agent. The NR latex was modified into a low degree (5%) of epoxide-functionalized NR, symbolized as ENR5 by epoxidation reaction. The silica (40 phr) was pre-dispersed in water using ultrasonication to break down the silica particles, symbolized as USiP before mixing in the obtained ENR5 latex. After water evaporation, no silica flocculation at the bottom of the container was observed, meaning that silica was well infiltrated in the rubber matrix without coagulating agents. The interaction of hydroxyl groups of silica with epoxide groups of ENR5 could support the stable dispersion of the silica in the rubber matrix. Then, the dried ENR5-USiP was further mixed with curing agents in a two-roll mill. The cure characteristic, morphology and mechanical properties of ENR5-USiP were compared with silica-filled NR using a conventional mixing process (NR-SiC) and NR filled with silica treated by a silane coupling agent (NR-SSiC). As a result, ENR5-USiP exhibited higher mechanical properties than NR-SiC and NR-SSiC. The SEM micrograph revealed the good dispersion of nano-size silica in the rubber matrix of ENR5-USiP composites. It can be highlighted that the breakage of silica particles by ultrasonication is a facile method and mixing of the obtained silica in the ENR5 latex is a green condition.
