Production of Structural Insulated Panels Based on date palm felt and functionalized graphene oxide for EMI shielding applications
Natural fibers are an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic materials in construction, such as in structural insulated panels (SIPs), due to their high biodegradability, lightweight nature, ease of shaping, and reduced environmental impact. However, achieving high mechanical strength in natural fiber-based composites, particularly in thermoset biocomposites, remains a challenge. To address this issue while also enhancing electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, a hybrid approach combining resin with graphene nanosheets is proposed. In this study, date palm felt composites were developed by carding the fronds into fibers and impregnating them with a hybrid epoxy resin containing functionalized graphene oxide (GO) at concentrations of 0, 1, and 3 wt%. The composites were prepared with and without chemical modification using silane molecules (octyltriethoxysilane) as coupling agents. The composites were then processed via compression molding. The results demonstrated that incorporating graphene oxide as a nanofiller significantly improved the bending modulus by +40 %, while silane-modified graphene oxide enhanced tensile strength by +73 %. Additionally, the hydrophobic properties of the palm felt/epoxy composites were improved with the addition of functionalized graphene oxide, as evidenced by comparative contact angle measurements.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
