Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Innovative biocomposites from residual microalgae biomass (RMB), a byproduct of biodiesel production, and PBAT (poly(butylene adipate- co -terephthalate)) have been prepared in this study. RMB was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and its thermal stability was determined. Subsequently, RMB and PBAT biocomposites were prepared by extrusion and injection molding. Incorporation of 10, 20 and 30% RMB in the biocomposites was studied. The biocomposites were characterized using FT-IR and thermogravimetric analysis, and their mechanical properties were compared, including tensile, flexural and impact strength. The effect of RMB on the morphology of the polymer matrix was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy. RMB plasticization was performed with glycerol and urea, comparing different proportions of glycerol and urea. The studies show that it is possible to use RMB in the manufacture of biocomposites with PBAT, obtaining the best extrusion results with 20% RMB. Optimal result was achieved with 30% glycerol and 7.5 phr of urea.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
