A novel long-term water absorption and thickness swelling deep learning forecast method for corn husk fiber-polypropylene composite

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2022
Investigating long-term water absorption (WA) and thickness swelling (TS) behaviors of wood plastic composites demand long working hours and high laboratory costs. However, using artificial intelligence methods, these behaviors can be predicted in far less time and with a low degree of error. This paper aims to predict the long-term WA and TS behaviors

Hybrid Composites Made from Jute/Coir Fibers: Water Absorption, Thickness Swelling, Density, Morphology, and Mechanical Properties

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2014
The action of water in natural fiber-reinforced composite material was studied so as to produce great swelling with resultant changes in the fine structure, dimensional stability, and mechanical properties. Water absorption and thickness swelling test reveal that hybrid composite shows water absorption moderately, which is 15.3% for hybrid coir/jute ...
