Currently, automobile industries are paying more attention on fabricating light weight materials for making vehicle body parts. So lots of research work is been carried out on natural fibers owing to their light weight and eco-friendly nature. In this current research, composites were fabricated by reinforcing treated Bauhinia vahlii bast fiber (BV) fibers with Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) thermoplastic polymer for making light weight automobile parts. Various properties like static and dynamic mechanical properties, thermal as well as morphological properties were studied. To get a better compatibility with ABS matrix, surfaces of fibers were treated with various chemicals. An enhancement in mechanical properties was noticed with the increase in treated BV fiber loading till optimum (23 wt%) thereafter declines. The highest mechanical properties obtained at optimum fiber loading was recorded as 68.94 MPa of tensile strength, 7.02 GPa of young's modulus, 95.27 MPa of flexural strength and 33.25 kJ/m 2 of impact strength. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used for analysis. Overall, the results show that reinforcing ABS matrix with BV filler improves the characteristics of the manufactured composite materials effectively. It was found that composites fabricated from 23 wt% fiber content shows superior static and dynamic mechanical properties as well as thermal properties as compared with other fabricated composites and can be used for making lightweight automobile parts.

“…[1][2][3] Polylactide (PLA), has been viewed the most promising frontrunner owing to its full biomass originability and biodegradability, good processability, high transparency, versatile mechanical properties, especially for tensile strength (above 65 MPa). [4][5][6][7] Meanwhile, a petroleum-based, while biodegradable polymers, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) that possesses excellent processability, [8,9] and good mechanical property, [10,11] has also been applied in various end-use applications, such as food packaging, [12,13] bio-tissue products, [14][15][16] and medical materials, [17][18][19] etc. Thus, PBS, appeared as an interesting bio-degradable polymer has shown remarkable advantages in many scopes.…”

To reveal a relationship among crystallization, conductivity and electromagnetic shielding properties of full biodegradable polymer after ultraviolet (UV) aging, polybutylene succinate (PBS)‐based composites with different weight ratios of multi‐wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs)/polylactic acid (PLA) /PBS masterbatch were processed via melt‐compounding approach. Morphology of the MWCNTs/PLA/PBS masterbatch prepared by Pickering emulsion method was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation. Comprehensive effects of different content of masterbatch and UV aging time on the morphology, crystallization, and electrical and electromagnetic shielding properties of MWCNTs/PLA/PBS composites were shown by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), SEM, wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), polarizing microscope (POM), ultra‐depth of field optical microscope, resistance tester, and vector network analyzer. Compared with PBS composite with 0.1 wt% MWCNTs, the electrical conductivity of PBS composite with the MWCNTs/PLA/PBS masterbatch increased by two orders of magnitude, and dispersed morphology for the composite showed double percolation structure. After UV aging, both MWCNTs/PBS composites and the PBS composites with the MWCNTs/PLA/PBS masterbatch, their surface presented burnt yellow and parts of flaws, while both their electrical conductivity and total electromagnetic shielding effectiveness gradually increased. Moreover, with the increasing of UV aging time, not only crystal size of these PBS‐based composites became large, but also their crystal interface became clearer. Furthermore, when UV aging time reached 528 h, the tensile strength of 0.6 M/PLA/PBS composite decreased by 12.6%, while its total electromagnetic shielding effectiveness increased by 39.8%, compared with the composite without UV aging.

“…Surface treatments reduce the number of OH functional groups on the fiber surface while increasing surface roughness and thus enhancing the interfacial bonding between the matrix and the fibers. [12,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] The fiber composition, age, fiber preparation, and extraction processes, composite preparation, greatly influence the mechanical properties. However, to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly NFRPCs in cutting-edge applications, an up-to-date review is required to better understand the behavior of NFs in existing developments.…”

Exploration of natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) in cutting‐edge applications is due to phenomenal properties, such as lightweight, low‐cost, and environmental aspects. NFs can effectively compete to the synthetic fibers in terms of mechanical, thermal and acoustic properties. As a result, the invention and innovation of natural fiber (NF) composites for commercial purposes has increased dramatically in recent years to meet the growing demand of the industrial sectors. Materials are the cornerstone of any manufacturing industry. NFRPCs are a good alternative to conventional materials because of their relatively high mechanical properties and lower production energy. NFs decrease the cost of the material by 5% while reducing the weight of the composite by 10% and the manufacturing energy by 80%. A lot of work has been done to enhance NFRPCs' mechanical properties to overcome their drawbacks, such as poor fiber‐to‐matrix adhesion, thermal stability, and moisture absorption. However, for better mechanical properties, it is crucial to understand the fibers' embedded manufacturing technique and the appropriate fiber weight percentage with appropriate matrix. This review article discusses composites made of NFs providing a comprehensive and up‐to‐date overview of the field of NFRPCs, focusing on recent advancements in preparation techniques, improvements in mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strength of NFRPCs with various fiber types, fiber weight ratio, fiber‐to‐matrix ratio for appropriate engineering applications, and elucidating future research directions by analyzing trends and challenges in the field. The aim of this review article is to provide a deep evaluation of the progress made in the field of NFRPCs, with the ultimate goal of advancing knowledge and understanding of this field.
