Abstract:Thermoplastics are finding the place in the current industrial sector due to its load bearing capacities. In this research, With the aid of pin on disc test set up, adhesive and abrasive wear behavior of leaf spring materials 30% short carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (SF), 30% long carbon fiber reinforced epoxy (LF) as well as Unreinforced epoxy (UF) are evaluated for automobile applications. Under multi pass abrasive wear condition, the effect of fiber reinforcement on plastic energy of deformation, matrix crys… Show more
“…Suthan et al 109 studied the influence of four different biofillers on the sliding wear behavior of epoxy‐based NFRHCs, that is, rice, wheat, coconut shell powder, and ground nutshell powder, and demonstrated that 30 wt% of filler content showed the better wear characteristics. Sudhagar and Kumar 110 addressed the wear characteristics of bauhinia racemose‐based polyester composites. Composites comprising 5% and 20% by weight of fibers are observed to be more wear‐resistant and can be utilized as automotive gears in automobiles.…”
This review explores the hybridization effect of natural fiber‐reinforced composites (NFRCs) to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution. Although natural fibers offer several advantages over synthetic fibers, such as biodegradability, lightweight, and low cost, their application in NFRCs is challenging due to inherent issues such as variable fiber quality, constrained mechanical properties, water absorption, and poor thermal stability. However, recent research has made significant progress in addressing these issues, resulting in better NFRCs. This article surveys the latest developments in plant‐based NFRCs, focusing on methods and innovations to enhance their performance through fiber modification, hybridization, incorporation of lignocellulosic fillers, and fabrication techniques for mechanical, sound absorption, and wear performance. It also discusses the expanding uses of NFRCs in various industrial sectors and the sustainability of plant‐based NFRCs using life‐cycle assessment.
