Bio-composite materials have taken an extensive interest in research over the years due to their excellent properties, such as excellent mechanical and physical properties, stiffness, and low density/lightweight. The exceptional properties of bio-composite materials have had a widespread application in several industries, such as; the packaging industry, construction, automotive, and other related engineering fields. This research investigates mechanical, physical, and microstructure properties of Sansevieria Trifasciata (STE) natural fiber, -reinforced Vinyl Ester (STF/VE) bio-composite. The mechanical and physical properties of STF/VE bio-composites, including the tensile strength and density, are investigated through fibre preparation, orientation, and fibre volume fraction parameters. The STF/VE bio-composite tensile strength coupon is manufactured using the bio-composite transfer moulding (BTM) process and with pressure moulding. The Taguchi experimental design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are selected to investigate the effect of variables on the mechanical properties model. The alkali preparation of STF, unidirectional fibre orientation, and fibre volume fraction improve tensile strength. Non-alkali treatment and random fibre orientatio, on the other hand, result in a reduction of density. The results of the ANOVA analysis show that the fibre volume fraction (wt.%) is the variable that most significantly affects the tensile strength and density responses, with contributions of 50.57% of tensile strength and 51.34% of density, respectively. Based on the optimization results, the STF/VE with alkali treatment, unidirectional, and 15 w.t.% is chosen as the best bio-composite formulation, with the best tensile strength-density balance. It indicates that the optimum parameter was successfully achieved among the samples examined in this work.

“…Because of its high strength-to-weight ratio, low cost, simplicity of availability, and ability to adjust the mechanical properties of polymer composites according to application needs, polymer composites have been widely used. Researchers [1][2][3][4][5][6] have been interested in using natural fibres and biopolymers as one of the constituent elements in composites for several decades, owing to environmental concerns and government laws. Synthetic polymers are combined with natural fibres and fillers to improve performance while reducing negative environmental impact.…”

In this work an attempt had been made to hybridise the Epoxy resin by incorporating the Pterocarpus Marsupium natural resin powder derived from the Pterocarpus Marsupium tree. The mechanical, dynamic mechanical, biodegradability and thermal stability of the blended polymer was evaluated at different Pterocarpus Marsupium resin particulate loading (10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 v/v %). The composite specimens were fabricated by using hand layup method. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength had shown significant improvement than the tensile modulus and flexural modulus due to blending, the experimental results indicated that the better properties of the blended polymer were obtained at 30% v/v Pterocarpus Marsupium resin incorporated Epoxy polymer. Soil burial test revealed that the incorporation of bio resin resulted in weight loss of the blended polymer over prolonged period of time.

Three types of aramid fibers (AFs) with various surface fibrillation degrees were introduced into nitrile rubber (NBR) matrix to prepare the AF/NBR composites, respectively. Their impacts on the mechanical and tribological performances of the NBR composites were mainly studied. The results showed that, as the fiber content increased, the tensile strength of the AF/NBR composites increased after initially decreased, and the turning point moved toward the direction of lower AF content with the fiber fibrillation degree increase.
