“…The basic cellulose unit is anhydro- d -glucose, which contains three hydroxyls responsible for hydrophilic nature [ 29 ]. Cellulose offers superior mechanical properties, while lignin reduces water sorption and enhances thermal stability [ 30 ]. Lignin serves to bind plant parts together, thereby acting as a cementing material.…”

Increased environmental concerns and global warming have diverted focus from eco-friendly bio-composites. Naturals fibers are abundant and have low harvesting costs with adequate mechanical properties. Hazards of synthetic fibers, recycling issues, and toxic byproducts are the main driving factors in the research and development of bio-composites. Bio-composites are degradable, renewable, non-abrasive, and non-toxic, with comparable properties to those of synthetic fiber composites and used in many applications in various fields. A detailed analysis is carried out in this review paper to discuss developments in bio-composites. The review covers structure, morphology, and modifications of fiber, mechanical properties, degradable matrix materials, applications, and limitations of bio-composites. Some of the key sectors employing bio-composites are the construction, automobile, and packaging industries. Furthermore, bio-composites are used in the field of medicine and cosmetics.

“…4 The mechanical properties of lignocellulosic flour/epoxy (EP) composites prepared using coconut shell, rice husk and teakwood as fillers were compared, and it was concluded that increased filler content results in an increase in stiffness of the composite and the volume content of fillers also affected the elasticity. 5 The effect of rice husk on the wear properties of rice husk–filled glass–EP composites was studied, and it was concluded that when there is an increase in normal load applied on the specimen, the specific wear rate of rice husk–filled glass–EP composites decreased. 6 The agricultural wastes like bagasse, palm fronds, mango’s dry leaves, oil palm shell, castor plant stem and chicken feather have been used to develop composites using either EP or polyester.…”

The present research venture focuses on utilization of food and agricultural waste Citrus limetta (musambi) peel by using it as a filler material to develop novel epoxy (EP) composites. Experimental investigation has been performed to analyse the influence of C limetta (musambi) peel particles (CLPP) on mechanical properties (tensile, flexural and impact strength) of the developed composites. Different loadings by weight percentages (0, 5, 10 and 15 wt%) of filler have been used to explain the variation in mechanical properties. Along with effect of different filler percentages, failure characteristics of the prepared samples have also been studied. The results indicate that higher CLPP content in EP matrix has a detrimental effect on mechanical properties of manufactured biocomposites. Thermal characterization was performed to analyse the degradation behaviour and the onset temperature. Morphological analysis of the fractured surfaces was also conducted with the help of a scanning electron microscope. The current experimental investigation has revealed that CLPP can be used as a potential filler for manufacturing biocomposites with applications in general purpose interior fitments in addition to various non-structural components.

“…Nano particles are used in polymer composite as potential filler materials that improves the physical and [7].Hybridization is the process of utilizing the combination of natural fibre along with natural filler material in the matrix to enhance mechanical properties and to reduce the water absorption capacity [8][9][10]. The mechanical properties of the composite filled with organic fillers are influenced by the parameters such as size of the filler, volume fraction, type of filler (chemical composition and shape) and distribution of the filler material [11].Several works have been carried out with natural filler materials in order to increase the mechanical properties of the composite.

Sustainability of the natural fibers and its composite had created the curiosity among researchers around the globe. Owing to their improved mechanical and thermal properties, natural fiber based materials are replacing the synthetic fibers in most of the automobile, packing industries, sports equipment and semi-structural applications. In this research, the tensile properties of hybrid composite made up of Kenaf and areca fibers in six different stacking sequences with constant 10 weight percentage of wood dust as filler material is studied. Unsaturated polyester resin is used as the matrix. The specimens are prepared by using hand lay-up technique. The prepared specimens are tested for tensile properties as per ASTM Standard and compared with stacking sequence one (S1).The test results revealed that stacking sequence six (S6) of the specimen which has Kenaf fiber as top and bottom layers has about 155% increase in tensile strength.
