“…The response surface method analysis was carried out by running the experiment with highest efficiency, using an appropriate decision of design, plan, and to decide working conditions on an arrangement of controllable factors that offer ascent to an ideal reaction. The key to RSM are created utilizing straight polynomial models, for the most part first-degree and second degree models, with consistent reaction factors accepted, to be independent and normally distributed with consistent error variances [13][14]. Jiménez-Contreras et al summarized that, the RSM is an accumulation of scientific and mathematical methods that displaying and investigation of issues in which a reaction of intrigue is affected by a few factors and the target is to optimize the reaction [15].…”

“…Sieving provides a very uniform size distribution of particulate Table 2 shows the flexural stress ( σ r ) and the deformation at rupture ( ε) of the composites. Balakrishna et al (2013) prepared and tested Asian palmyra which is a natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFRC). The experiments were designed in accordance with a factorial design (three level) and determined the deviation of tensile strength of short and randomly oriented NFRC under the condition of control parameters.…”

As an important branch of the composite materials field, natural fiberreinforced polymer composites have been studied for decades. Natural fibers are originated from several sources such as cotton, nut, shells, bagasse, corncobs, bamboo, and vegetable. This work aims to discuss the different surface modification techniques of bagasse fibers including alkaline, silane, acetylation, and benzoylation treatments. The chapter also deals with the discussion on processing techniques of bagasse fiber-reinforced composite manufacturing and its mechanical and morphological properties. It also covers advantages of bagasse fiber reinforcement in composites and future trends and applications.

“…Some authors are working on the investigation of the suitability of fibres from different origins of the toddy palm for composite applications. Examples are the works of Sahari et al [3] who investigated the reinforcement potential of fibres from petiole, trunk and ijuk in unsaturated polyester (UP) resin or Balakrishna et al [9] and Dhoria et al [10] who worked on epoxy (EP) composites reinforced with fibres from the petiole. Other examples are the studies of Srinivasababu et al [11] who investigated fibres from the leaflet in UP, Prabowo et al [12] and Rashid et al [13] who analysed ijuk fibre-reinforced polypropylene (PP) and phenolic composites, respectively.…”

Toddy palm fruit have an apparent density below 0.8 g/cm³ and offer an interesting lightweight construction potential in polylactide (PLA) composites reinforced with 37 mass-% fibres. Single fibre bundles show similar mechanical properties compared with coir: tensile strength of 240 MPa, Young´s modulus of 3.8 GPa and an elongation at break of 31%. However, density and diameter (~ 50 µm) of fruit fibre bundles are significantly lower. The compression moulded composites have a density of 0.9 g/cm³ and achieved an unnotched Charpy impact strength of 12 kJ/m², a tensile strength of 25 MPa, Young's modulus of 1.9 GPa and an elongation at break of 9%. Due to the high porosity of the composites and the different stress-strain behaviour of fibre and matrix the fibre-reinforcement potential could not be fully used. Maximum stress of the composite was reached at the elongation at break of the PLA-matrix (~2%) while the fibre achieved its maximum stress at an elongation of ~31%. After reaching the maximum stress of the composite, the fibres were pulled out from the matrix with low energy absorption, resulting in a decrease in stress and a limited reinforcement potential. Additionally, the study investigates whether an insect attack by the Asian fruit fly on the mesocarp has a significant influence on the mechanical fibre characteristics. The results have shown that only the rough surface of the fibre bundles is smoothed by insect infestation. The mechanical properties were not significantly affected. For this reason insect-infested fruits of the toddy palm, which are no longer suitable for food production, can be used for the production of sustainable composite materials.
