This research investigates the development and performance of geopolymer-based composite materials formulated using Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as a reactive mineral component within an aluminosilicate polymer matrix.

Natural fiber–reinforced composites are gaining popularity as substitutes for synthetic fiber composites because of their environmental and sustainability advantages.

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a persistent global environmental concern due to its widespread presence in aquatic ecosystems and potential implications for food chains and human health.

Hybrid AA7075 composites reinforced with 15% silicon carbide (SiC) and 15% glass fiber were fabricated via the stir casting technique to improve machining and structural performance.

The purpose of this work is to enhance the mechanical performance of a eutectic Al–Si alloy by incorporating hard ceramic (kyanite) and soft solid lubricant (graphite) reinforcements using a liquid-state stir casting route.

The scope of engineering requirements for composite materials, which mix features from several elements engaged in engineering applications to enable greater performance, cannot be adequately understood in this way.
