Explore the intriguing world of natural fibers, where Syagrus Romanzoffiana (SR) fibers out as a viable alternative to synthetic and glass fibers in composite materials. Dive into the eco-friendly attraction of SR fibers, which are renowned for their natural degradation and ecologically favorable properties. This novel work investigates the performance characterization of 40 mm gauge-length (GL) SR fibers under quasi-static pressures using rigorous tensile testing. The mystery develops when 200 fibers are examined in seven different test groups, revealing the effect of test quantity ( N) on tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and fracture strain. Given the intrinsic diversity of natural fibers, the study applies strong statistical approaches such as least squares (LS) and maximum likelihood (ML) estimations, as well as two- and three-parameter Weibull distributions. Witness the thorough dispersion and probability analysis, which culminates in an enthralling one-factor analysis of variance (ANOVA) across the seven test groups ( N = 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 and 200) for each tensile strength characteristic. Join us on this scientific trip as we uncover the mysteries and promise of Syagrus Romanzoffiana fibers to shape the future of composite materials.

“…Fibres that are hydrophilic face a threat in environmental exposure: therefore, the possibility to use them in making composites, does often require a treatment. In most cases, compatibility between the phases can be achieved by the use of a chemical compound for coating (Ali et al 2018;Sepe et al 2018;Mylsamy et al 2019;Aruchamy et al 2023b). Mechanical properties and interfacial bonding are reduced due to factors that include orientation of microfibrils and contact angle.…”

Green composite materials are a means of reducing reliance on synthetic and especially single-use plastics (SUP) and raising public awareness of the need for urgent action to protect the planet. Natural (lignocellulosic) fibres are increasingly utilized as the reinforcement in polymer matrix composites, in search for increased renewability and sustainability. This work concerns the effect of washing ramie (Boehmeria nivea) fibres using sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) surfactant. The SLS-treated ramie fibres were examined for their morphological, physical, thermal, structural, and mechanical properties by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and tensile testing. SLS treated ramie fibres density and crystallinity index values were 1.23 g/cc and 84.5%, respectively, with a very high cellulose content of 81.3%, because hemicellulose and loose particles were dissolved. SEM images depicted the relevant changes, with no significant damage on treated fibre surfaces. With some assistance from the treatment, fibres initiated their degradation only above 250 °C, culminating at 327 °C, which appears suitable for the manufacturing of composites with the most common matrices.

This study aims to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of epoxy composites reinforced with hybrid luffa waste and groundnut shell waste natural fibers and to evaluate the effect of different filler loadings of alumina on the mechanical behavior of the hybrid composites. The luffa fibers were made to undergo mercerization in 10% NaOH solution. All the treated fibers and the alumina fillers were characterized using X‐ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The study used three different filler loadings of alumina (Al2O3) (5%, 10%, and 15% by volume) and three different fractions of treated luffa‐waste groundnut shell hybrid fibers (10%, 30%, and 50% by volume). The composites were fabricated using the hand layup technique, and the prepared test specimens were subjected to mechanical and physical properties testing as per ASTM standards. The experimental findings indicated that the inclusion of Al2O3 filler improved the physical and mechanical characteristics of the natural fiber‐reinforced hybrid composites. The results showed that the composites with 30 vol. % fibers (1:1 luffa fiber: groundnut shell fiber) and 10 vol. % Al2O3 content showed enhanced tensile, flexural, shear, and impact strength and hardness. Besides, a good synergy between the alumina fillers, natural fibers, and the polymer matrix was observed in the surface morphology of the composite specimen. The developed composites can be used in low and medium‐load‐bearing structural and non‐structural applications.Highlights Development of hybrid polymer composites with luffa and novel groundnut shell fibers Hybridization of alumina ceramic particles with natural fiber hybrid composites Assessment of physical and mechanical properties of the polymer composites
