“…It is concluded that the treated fiber composites provided a 33% increase in the impact strength than untreated fibers. The impact strength of the best sample (S6) is 5.7% greater than that of hybrid composite proposed in [31] and closer to Red Banana Peduncle wood filler composites [42].…”

“…The tensile strength of the treated composites was increased by more than 25% when compared to untreated composites for all the proportions due to the alkali treatment of fibers, which improves the adhesion between the fiber and matrix and simultaneously increases the tensile strength of the composites. The tensile strength of the best sample (S6) is 38.33% greater than that of Bagasse ash filled banana/flax bio‐composites [30] and 41.63% greater than Red Banana Peduncle wood filler composites [42].…”

“…The flexural strength of the treated composites was increased by more than 30% compared to untreated composites for all the proportions. The flexural strength of the best sample (S6) is 15.07% greater than that of Bagasse ash filled banana/flax biocomposites [30] and greater than that of Red Banana Peduncle wood filler composites [42]. The stress–strain curves for the composite samples during flexural testing are shown in Figure 6.…”

“…SEM is considered as a technique to analyze the surface morphology, interfacial adhesion, and fracture dynamics of various composites [35–46]. The surface morphology of the fractured samples of the tensile, flexural, and impact tests were examined and analyzed using through the scanning electron microscope (SEM) of JEOL JSM model 6390 with an acceleration voltage of 20 kV.…”

A novel hybrid composite was developed from natural fibers and the mechanical properties were investigated in this work. The palm sheath and sugarcane bagasse fibres were the natural fibers used and epoxy resin was the matrix. By using compression‐molding machine, various samples were prepared by varying the weight proportions of fibers. The performance of fibers was investigated under untreated and NaOH treated conditions. The tensile properties, flexural properties, hardness, and impact properties were evaluated using ASTM standards. The best sample was determined based on the experimental results. The best sample had the tensile strength of 19.80 ± 0.78 MPa, Young's Modulus of 0.953 ± 0.076 GPa, flexural strength of 28.79 MPa, impact strength of 2 kJ/m2, and the hardness value of 38.02 HD. The best sample was used to develop an automobile dashboard to justify its application.

Novel natural plant fibers with significant features are to be explored at the moment due to their renewability, degradability, wide range acceptability, economic feasibility, and ecological standards over existing synthetic ones. Since the identification of potential plant fibers are getting much attention of scientists/researchers for the development of promising fiber reinforced composites. In the light of this, the present study identified a novel plant fiber from the peduncle of Furcraea selloa K. Koch and studied its anatomical, morphological, physico-chemical, thermal, mechanical and surface properties in order to explore its utility as a composite reinforcement. Anatomical study was satisfactory for identifying the presence and position of the fiber in the plant material. Good crystallinity (49.27%), high cellulose content (71.13%) and relatively low density (1127 kg/m 3 ) were found as the feasible features after physicochemical analysis. Indeed, desirable thermal stability (370 C) and tensile property (649.21 ± 16.52 MPa) of Furcraea selloa K. Koch peduncle fiber (FSPF) revealed its ability for high temperature required processing and applications. The morphological studies ensure good surface roughness and reduced microfibrillar angle (7.83 ± 0.23 ), which are recommended features for good fibermatrix addition. These promising properties are sufficient to deliberate FSPF as a new potential composite reinforcement, with good specific properties and high environmental impact.
