“…Epoxy composites with pineapple leaves, coir fibers, or their mixture lose mechanical strength at an accelerated rate after 30 days of soil burial, biodegradation increasing with the content of pineapple leaves, which suffered substantial hydrolysis. NaOH treatment increased the biodegradability of coir in soil burial for 110 days but stabilized the pineapple leaves by removal of polar groups (e.g., -OH) [159]. Chemical treatment with 10% sodium bicarbonate solution of flax fibers used as reinforcing agents in epoxy based composites improved interfacial adhesion between the fibers and matrix.…”

Polymer composites are widely used modern-day materials, specially designed to combine good mechanical properties and low density, resulting in a high tensile strength-to-weight ratio. However, materials for outdoor use suffer from the negative effects of environmental factors, loosing properties in various degrees. In particular, natural fillers (particulates or fibers) or components induce biodegradability in the otherwise bio inert matrix of usual commodity plastics. Here we present some aspects found in recent literature related to the effect of aggressive factors such as temperature, mechanical forces, solar radiation, humidity, and biological attack on the properties of plastic composites containing natural fillers.

“…Ganeshan et al [26] found that the mechanical properties are greatly influenced by fiber length of the reinforced material and weight percentage while fabricating madar fiber reinforced polyester composites. Several investigations [27][28][29][30][31] on the usage of single reinforced PALF or Basalt in epoxy composites has been reported.…”

In this modern era, the natural fibers usage in automobile and construction sectors has been increased. The goal of the current work was to investigate the fiber orientation effect on dynamic mechanical properties of hybrid Pineapple Leaf Fibre (PALF) hybridized with basalt reinforced epoxy composite at changing vibration frequencies. Hand Lay-up technique was used to manufacture the composites by keeping the unidirectional basalt fabric as an outer layer by keeping PALF as inner layer followed by static compression method. Tensile and flexural moduli were also determined apart from storage modulus (E′) and damping factor (tan δ) for different PALF fiber angles. The results exemplified that not only the storage modulus and loss factor but also glass transition temperature (Tg) as well found to increase with frequency and also the fiber orientation angle has a greater impact on dynamic and static properties.

“…In the course of the research, the ideal research results are constantly appearing, and a series of new problems are also generated, such as high cost, unfriendly environment, and unstable hightemperature friction performance [16,17]. Natural fibres have the advantages of environmental friendliness, low cost, and biodegradability, including bamboo fibres, hemp fibres, banana fibres, jute fibres, and banana fibres, and they are used in friction composites [18][19][20][21][22][23]. Matějka et al [24] reported that the effective combination of hazelnut shell and jute fibre can improve remarkably the tribological properties of friction composites.…”

Corn stalk fibre reinforced nonasbestos environment-friendly friction composite materials have been fabricated, and their physical, mechanical, and tribological properties are characterized. The tribological properties of the friction composites were evaluated following GB5763-2008 norms on a constant-speed-type friction tester. The experimental outcome reveals that the content of corn stalk fibre has a noteworthy impact on the tribological, mechanical, and physical properties of the friction composites. Specifically, the friction composite with a content of 7% exhibited excellent friction and wear properties. The worn surface morphology of friction composites was further investigated using a scanning electron microscope. It was found that the corn stalk fibre content greatly affected the tribological properties of the friction composites.
