摘要

This research pioneers the integration of blockchain technology into the fabrication of biocomposites, targeting the optimization to enhance load-bearing characteristics and minimize material rejections. The composites were prepared using nanosilica (1–3 vol.%), polyester resin, areca fiber, and biochar as the primary constituents. By embedding blockchain into the curing process, the study achieved greater traceability, efficiency, and process control. A Python-based algorithm was employed to predict optimal curing parameters, while blockchain ensured secure logging. This integration guaranteed precise monitoring of resin–hardener ratios and curing temperature, reducing inconsistencies. Mechanical evaluations revealed that specimen A2 (3 vol.% nanosilica, blockchain-enabled fabrication) exhibited the most superior performance among all samples. SEM micrographs validated this outcome, revealing enhanced bonding, minimal fiber pull-out, and improved stress transfer in blockchain-assisted specimens, while non-blockchain composites unveiled fiber breakage, pull-out, and bending. Overall, the integration of blockchain technology into biocomposite processing offers a transformative pathway to boost mechanical performance, ensure product consistency, and reduce manufacturing defects, aligning advanced digital solutions with sustainable material engineering.
