Speech Title: Material Durability
and Performance: Assessing Key Properties for
Enhanced Functionality
Abstract: Durability
and performance of materials are crucial for the
reliability and efficiency of products in various
industries. Key properties such as mechanical
strength, thermal stability, wear resistance, and
adaptability to the environment play a crucial role
in longevity and functional effectiveness. In the
field of functional apparel, properties such as
moisture wicking, breathability, stretchability, and
abrasion resistance determine effectiveness and
longevity, making material selection critical to
optimizing the wearer's performance. To gain a
comprehensive insight into the behavior of
materials, the influence of different polymer yarns
and their changes under combined ageing factors must
be investigated. While recycled polyester yarn has
advantages in terms of sustainability and higher
tensile strength, the results suggest that
conventional polyester yarn is more advantageous due
to its higher abrasion resistance, smoother surface
texture, and better elasticity retention after
ageing. Research on polymer aging also highlights
the impact of environmental influences on key
material properties such as topography, thickness,
moisture management, elongation and bursting
strength, showing that thickness increases,
elongation decreases and moisture absorption is
impaired in sun-exposed materials. However,
spectroscopic investigations (ATR-FTIR) indicate
that the chemical structure of the polyester has not
demonstrably changed. These findings emphasize the
need for product-centred ageing protocols and
innovative material design to ensure long-lasting,
high-performance solutions, especially in the
competitive sportswear industry.

Speech Title: The Impact of
Temperature on the Physical and Electrochemical
Characteristics of Carbon-Based Cacao Pods to
Increase the Supercapacitor's Specific Capacitance
and Surface Area
Abstract: The physical and
electrochemical characteristics of monolithic
carbon-based cacao peels have been analysed numerous
times in preparation for their use in
supercapacitors. Thus, examining the connection
between pore diameter, surface area, and specific
capacitance was the primary goal of this
investigation. By utilizing the activation
temperature range of 600 degrees celsius,
700 degrees celsius, 800 degrees celsius,
and 900 degrees celsius, the changes in
pore diameter were discovered. To guarantee that the
electrode's natural porosity would not be disturbed
by adhesives, the carbon electrode was manufactured.
Physical parameters examined include (i) thermal
properties, (ii) surface morphology, (iii) element
composition, (iv) crystallinity attributes, and (v)
N2 gas adsorption-desorption isotherm. Moreover,
Cyclic Voltammetry (CV) was employed as the
electrochemical characteristic to determine the
specific capacitance. The optimum specific
capacitance value was obtained at a temperature of
700 degrees celsius, which was 140.2 F/g. The higher the
temperature, the larger the pore size. This shows
that the pore size increases with increasing
temperature. And the specific capacitance value
increases as the pore size decreases. Analysis of
the degree of crystallinity, thermal resistance,
elemental content, and surface morphology provided
support for this research.
