Therefore, many research works are being carried out regarding the development of wheat straw-based polymer composites to identify the reinforcing potential of these sustainable resources. In this study, three different sizes of wheat straw fibers (60–120 mesh, 35–60 mesh, and 18–35 mesh) were used, and their different ratios (0, 2.5, 5, 10, and 20% by weight) were systematically investigated for the physical and mechanical properties of polypropylene-based sustainable composites. The results indicated that the evaluated composites’ properties are strongly dependent on the quantity and size of the utilized wheat straw. Therefore, a preference selection index was applied to rank the developed sustainable polymer composites to select the best composition. Various properties of the composite materials were considered as criteria for ranking the alternatives, namely tensile strength and modulus, flexural stress at conventional deflection and flexural modulus, impact strength, density, water absorption, material cost, and carbon footprint. The decision-making analysis suggests the alternative with wheat straw content of 20 wt.% (35–60 mesh size) dominating the performance by maximizing the beneficial criteria and minimizing the non-beneficial criteria, making it the most suitable alternative. This study will significantly help formulation designers to deal with the amount and size issues when developing polymeric composites.}, year = {2024}, eissn = {2190-6823}, orcid-numbers = {Singh, Tej/0000-0003-2316-4107; Jakab, Sándor Kálmán/0009-0009-9688-6304; Lendvai, László/0000-0003-3670-327X} } @article{MTMT:34150897, title = {Thermally conductive and electrically resistive acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)/boron nitride composites: Optimal design using a multi-criteria decision-making approach}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34150897}, author = {Lendvai, László and Singh, Tej and Rigotti, Daniele and Pegoretti, Alessandro}, doi = {10.1016/j.jmrt.2023.09.165}, journal-iso = {J MATER RES TECHN}, journal = {JOURNAL OF MATERIALS RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY}, volume = {26}, unique-id = {34150897}, issn = {2238-7854}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2214-0697}, pages = {8776-8788}, orcid-numbers = {Lendvai, László/0000-0003-3670-327X; Singh, Tej/0000-0003-2316-4107; Pegoretti, Alessandro/0000-0001-9641-9735} } @article{MTMT:34074450, title = {Thermal and thermomechanical properties of boron nitride-filled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) composites}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34074450}, author = {Lendvai, László and Rigotti, Daniele}, doi = {10.14513/actatechjaur.00706}, journal-iso = {ACTA TECH JAURIN}, journal = {ACTA TECHNICA JAURINENSIS}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {34074450}, issn = {1789-6932}, abstract = {The present study aims at investigating the effect of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoplatelets on the properties of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer.

Analogous reference samples with the same composition were also fabricated using traditional melt mixing by introducing the rubber in its dry, bulk form in order to analyze the efficiency of the latex route. Mechanical, thermomechanical and morphological analyses were used to investigate the structure-property relationships of the blends. Based on the SEM images the average domain size of the dispersed XNBR domains became markedly smaller when the rubber was introduced in its suspension form into the PP. Based on the Charpy impact tests and the tensile test results, the decreased rubber domain size led to improved ductility and toughness.

The ranking analysis was performed on ten brake friction composite material alternatives that contained varying proportions (5% and 10% by weight) of hemp, ramie, pineapple, banana, and Kevlar fibers. The properties of alternatives such as density, porosity, compressibility, friction coefficient, fade-recovery performance, friction fluctuation, cost, and carbon footprint were used as selection criteria. An increase in natural fiber content resulted in a decrease in density, along with an increase in porosity and compressibility. The composite with 5 wt.% Kevlar fiber showed the highest coefficient of friction, while the 5 wt.% ramie fiber-based composites exhibited the lowest levels of fade and friction fluctuations. The wear performance was highest in the composite containing 10 wt.% Kevlar fiber, while the composite with 10 wt.% ramie fiber exhibited the highest recovery. The results indicate that including different fibers in varying amounts can affect the evaluated performance criteria. A hybrid CRITIC-CODAS decision-making technique was used to select the optimal brake friction composite. The findings of this approach revealed that adding 10 wt.% banana fiber to the brake friction composite can give the optimal combination of evaluated properties. A sensitivity analysis was performed on several weight exchange scenarios to see the stability of the ranking results. Using Spearman’s correlation with the ranking outcomes from other MCDM techniques, the suggested decision-making framework was further verified, demonstrating its effectiveness and stability.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {2071-1050}, orcid-numbers = {Singh, Tej/0000-0003-2316-4107; Aherwar, Amit/0000-0002-7245-2925; Ranakoti, Lalit/0000-0002-8776-3902; Bhandari, Prabhakar/0000-0003-3681-5554; Singh, Vedant/0000-0002-2318-5322; Lendvai, László/0000-0003-3670-327X} } @article{MTMT:33658637, title = {Waste marble dust-filled sustainable polymer composite selection using a multi-criteria decision-making technique}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33658637}, author = {Singh, Tej and Pattnaik, Punyasloka and Shekhawat, Deepika and Ranakoti, Lalit and Lendvai, László}, doi = {10.1016/j.arabjc.2023.104695}, journal-iso = {ARAB J CHEM}, journal = {ARABIAN JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY}, volume = {16}, unique-id = {33658637}, issn = {1878-5352}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1878-5379}, orcid-numbers = {Singh, Tej/0000-0003-2316-4107; Lendvai, László/0000-0003-3670-327X} } @article{MTMT:33204048, title = {Valorization of Waste Wood Flour and Rice Husk in Poly(Lactic Acid)-Based Hybrid Biocomposites}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33204048}, author = {Lendvai, László and Omastova, Maria and Patnaik, Amar and Dogossy, Gábor and Singh, Tej}, doi = {10.1007/s10924-022-02633-9}, journal-iso = {J POLYM ENVIRON}, journal = {JOURNAL OF POLYMERS AND THE ENVIRONMENT}, volume = {31}, unique-id = {33204048}, issn = {1566-2543}, abstract = {This study explores the possibility of developing a new class of hybrid particulate-filled biocomposites using wood flour and rice husk wastes as environmentally friendly additives to poly(lactic acid) (PLA) as matrix material.

The addition of natural waste particles resulted in a remarkable improvement both in tensile and flexural modulus; however at a cost of impact strength and tensile strength. Meanwhile, flexural stress at conventional strain values were barely affected by the presence of wood flour and rice husk. The SEM images confirmed that there is a limited interfacial adhesion between the components, which supports the results obtained during mechanical tests. Both the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the dynamic mechanical analysis indicated that the glass transition temperature of PLA was not affected by the incorporation of filler particles; however, the crystalline structure was gradually altered with increasing filler loading according to the DSC.
