This document discusses the mechanical and chemical characterization of wood powder polymer composites. It summarizes research on composites made from mixing wood powder with polypropylene. Tensile tests were conducted on composites with varying wood powder content to analyze properties like tensile strength and Young's modulus. Chemical resistivity tests exposed composites to various reagents to analyze changes in weight and thickness. VICAT softening temperature tests determined the softening points of composites under increasing heat. Results showed tensile strength decreased but Young's modulus and softening temperature increased with higher wood powder content. Chemical resistivity was generally low, indicating potential use in pump and valve applications. The study aimed to improve understanding of wood-plastic composite structural properties
Utilization of pulverized plastic in cement concrete as fine aggregateeSAT Journals
Abstract Disposal of used Plastics is a major problem in the present era, as the usage of plastics is growing day by day and it takes hundreds of years for plastic material to degrade. So effective ways to recycle & reuse of plastics are being formulated. According to their composition, plastics have been classified into seven types each having their own recycle rate. One such type HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) was taken into consideration as it was easily available & had higher density than other types. The used plastics were collected , ground into smaller components , melted & pulverized in order to get granules of plastic of about 1mm size. The density of the Pulverized plastic was found to be 460 kg/m3 & its specific gravity was 0.46. Sieve analyses were carried out & about 75% of the plastics were found to be in the range of 1 -1.7mm. 45 nos. of 15cm x15cm x15cm cement concrete Cubes of 1:1:2 (M 25) mix were cast for 0% ,25% , 50% , 75% , 100 % sand being replaced with Pulverized plastic material. Volumetric proportioning was adopted instead of design mix since the density of plastic material was too low. Workability test, weight and compressive strength of the cubes were determined. The test results revealed that the yield as well as the ultimate strength of concrete at seventh day decreased by about 3 to 3.2 N/mm2 for 25%replacement & 4 to 6.5 N/mm2 for higher replacements of Plastic when compared to conventional concrete The ultimate as well as the yield strength of concrete at 14th day & 28th day decreased by about 0.2 to 1 N/mm2for 25%replacement & 9.1 to 14.6 N/mm2 for higher replacements of Plastic when compared to conventional concrete The water Cement ratio was also found to increase with the proportion of Plastics for a slump of 10 mm & weight of the cube decreased with an increase in replacement of Sand by Plastic Material. Thus it is inferred that Replacement of sand by plastic up to 25% can be adopted so that disposal of used plastic can be done as well the deficiency of Natural aggregates can be managed effectively.

Mechanical Properties of Tere-Phthalic Unsaturated Polyester Resin Reinforced...IOSR Journals
Abstract: The objective of this work is to investigate the mechanical properties of particulate snail shell
reinforced unsaturated polyester composite. 5wt% ground snail shell of particle size 625microns was
introduced to unsaturated polyester matrix to produce a composite. Other specimens were produced at 10, 15,
20, 25 and 30 weight percentages of the particulate filler in unsaturated polyester matrix. Mechanical tests were
conducted on prepared samples of the composite material. The results showed that the flexural strength of the
composite with 20wt% snail shell particulate reinforcement was greatly enhanced and the impact and hardness
properties were greatly improved at 5wt% filler loading. The composite could be considered for applications in
areas where high impact strength is a requirement such as in shipping containers. The 20wt% snail shell
reinforced unsaturated polyester can be used in place of pure polyester for applications where flexibility is of
utmost importance. Keywords: Snail Shell, Unsaturated Polyester, Composite, Mechanical Properties, filler

Strength characteristics of concrete containing post consumer metalized plast...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper represents results of strength tests conducted on concrete containing flakes of waste metalized plastics. The feasibility of post consumer plastic waste (PCMPW) was determined on the bases of tests results of compressive strength and split tensile strength. Ever increasing generation of PCMPW has raised littering issues and has become one of the major sources for landfills. The objective of the test program was to check the feasibility of PCMPW as concrete constituent and possible way of mitigating the environmental impacts occurring from insufficient and unsafe management of PCMPW. The strength tests were performed with three sizes of PCMPW in flaks and fiber form. PCMPW was added in the mixes with 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% by volume of concrete mix. Test results reveled that strengths reduced with increased PCMPW flakes contents. However, up to 1% of addition of flakes the strength reduction was negligible for all flak sizes. Moreover, the PCMPW fiber with 1mmx17mm size improved the split tensile strength. Experimental results of compressive –split tensile strength were correlated by a standard analytical model and exhibited good agreement with the experimental results. Such concrete could be utilized in pavements, sub-structural components and in non-structural members. Key Words: Post consumer metalized plastic waste, Concrete, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, Slump, Compaction factor.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.
