“…Various natural and synthetic fiber composite materials have been reviewed and it has been reported that the strength and interfacial bonding are improved by adding more natural fibers with the polymer matrix [25]. In 2021, the wear characteristics of a natural fiber composite using Polyalthia longifolia, Mangifera indica and jute were investigated using a Taguchi design experiment [26]. Textile fiber composite materials containing natural and plant fibers can be used in the manufacture of various lightweight automotive components [27].…”

“…It can be seen from the above recent literature that no research work has been performed to investigate the tensile, flexural and impact strengths of composite materials reinforced with human hair mixed with kenaf and Grewia fibers [25,26,28,30]. In this study, weight percentages of human hair mixed with kenaf and Grewia fibers in an epoxy resin matrix composite have been studied by the simplex method with the aim of improving flexural, tensile and impact strengths.…”

The demand for natural composite products is continuously increasing to make various industrial and commercial products to protect the environment. In this paper, the Hybrid Plant Fiber composite (HPFC) is produced using 64 wt.% of the resin matrix and 36 wt.% of natural fibers (Kenaf, Grewia, and Human hair) by hand layup moulding method. The influences of natural fiber’s weight on tensile, flexural, and impact strengths were investigated by the simplex lattice method. It was revealed that the percentage of contribution of Kenaf and Human hair fibers is higher on Tensile strength, Flexural, and Impact strengths than Grewia fiber. The optimum weight percentage of fibers: 13.5 wt.% of Kenaf, 15.3 wt. % of Human hair and 7.2 wt.% of Grewia of fibers weights have been used to produce desirable mechanical strengths of HPFC. The mechanical properties of HPFC have been compared to HPFC without Human hair. Tensile, flexural, and impact strength of HPFC is 17.95%, 11.1%, and 19.79% higher than the HPFC without Human hair. The predicted optimum HPFC is recommended to make commercial products for fulfilling consumer demand.

“…This is brought on by natural fibers' lower mechanical strength as compared to synthetic fibers and their incompatibility with the polymer interface. Heckadka et al 23 investigated the two-body wear behaviour of natural fiber reinforced composites. Natural fibers such as Polyalthia longifolia, Mangifera indica, and jute were used as reinforcements with an epoxy matrix.…”

Utilizing biomaterials for every conceivable purpose area, such as automobiles, sporting goods, medical, civil, and textile industries, is the aim of the research field. Applications of Natural Fiber (NF) reinforced polymer composites in structural and tribological engineering are rapidly expanding. For the first time in this work, Prosopis juliflora bark and two different types of NF (jute and kenaf) were reinforced with polyester matrix by the hand layup method. The objective of the work is to determine the wear performance and viscoelastic properties of the new hybrid bio-composite. Under dry contact conditions, the tribological performance of the proposed hybrid composite material was evaluated using a range of process parameters, including sliding distance (1000-2000 m), applied load (10-50 N), and sliding velocity (1-5 m/s). The wear behaviour of the fabricated NF composite was greatly enhanced (17.5 x10 -8 mm 3 /N-mm) by the higher composition of kenaf fibers has been observed. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that the manufactured composites had high storage modulus (4.1 GPa) and loss modulus (3.8 GPA). SEM was used to investigate and propose a potential wear mechanism for the developed composites by evaluating the exterior geomorphology of samples after wear tests. AFM provided details on the fiber surface properties of hybrid composites.
