Natural fibers are exceptional renewable resources to develop biocomposite materials for reducing the negative effects on the environment and producing economical and lightweight materials for load bearing semi‐structural applications. The present study is an attempt to develop kenaf/pineapple reinforced bio‐epoxy biocomposite and investigates thermo‐mechanical and viscoelastic properties under accelerated weathering conditions. The compression molding technique is used to develop biocomposite with four different arrangements of kenaf/pineapple laminates. To perform accelerated weathering, laminates are exposed to ultraviolet radiation and humidity conditions with extreme temperature in weathering tester machine. The tensile, flexural, impact, thermogravimetric analysis, thermal conductivity, viscoelastic properties, and water absorption tests are performed before and after accelerated weathering. The results revealed that the hybridization of kenaf/pineapple laminates showed better interfacial strength and stiffness while reducing the moisture sensitivity under accelerated weathering conditions. The morphology and fracture behavior of biocomposites are examined with scanning electron microscopy.

“…5,6 But nowadays, the natural fibres are becoming more promising reinforcing material due to their several benefits like, echo-friendly nature, bio-degradability, adequate strength and stiffness, economic and easy processing benefits. [7][8][9] However, the affinity towards moisture absorption and low mechanical properties are the major shortcomings that associated with the natural fibre. To overcome such shortfalls, the hybridization of natural fibre with synthetic one is found to be the best effective technique.…”

Owing to the crucial qualities such as strength, stiffness and durability, as well as low-cost manufacturing benefits, the fibre-reinforced composite materials are becoming more popular in structural applications. The current work basically focused on the influence of Pistachio shell particles (PSP) on mechanical performances of kenaf(K)/glass(G)/polyester hybrid laminates. Usual hand layup technique is used to fabricate different stacking order laminates such as KKKK, KGGK, GKKG, KGKG, and GGGG with PSP filler concentration of 1 wt%, 3 wt% and 5 wt%. The experimental findings reflect a noticeable improvement in mechanical properties with gradual inclusion of PSP filler. The KGKG laminate with 5 wt% of PSP shows an optimum tensile strength of 127.35 MPa and highest micro-hardness value of 21.35 HV, whereas KGKG laminate with 3 wt% of PSP exhibits a maximum flexural of 112.42 MPa and impact strength of 75.59 KJ/m2. The numerical analysis is also been carried out to validate the experimental results using ANSYS 19.0 software. On comparing the data of numerical analysis with experimental values, the deviation of result is found to be within the limit of 5% to 10%. Furthermore, the result of Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) has shown a highest amount of residue of 31.22% at 700°C in case of GKKG laminate with 5% of PSP filler. Again, at 5 wt% of PSP filler, the GKKG laminate has shown a lower water intake capability of 3.5% in comparison to KGKG and KGGK laminates at saturation time of 14 days. The fractography study has been conducted to examine the different mode of failure of laminates during testing by the help of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

“…[10,11] Recent studies have shown that hybridization of natural fibers with synthetic or other natural fibers can improve the physical properties of polymeric matrix composites according to the desired industrial requirements. [12][13][14][15][16][17] More recently, many works have been carried out on the hybridization of KF fibers with natural and/or synthetic nanofillers such as KF/jute fibers/E-glass, [18] KF/coir fibers/ MMT, [19] KF/PALF fibers, [5] KF/hemp/flax/glass fibers, [20] and Areca fiber-reinforced nano-silica and neem oiltoughened epoxy resin biocomposites. [21] For example, studies on the mass change, thermal decomposition, and thermal stability of woven glass/KF/epoxy hybrid composite filled with clay nanoparticles in small quantities were studied by Mazlan et al [22] Such hybridization demonstrated better interfacial adhesion between the treated KF and the epoxy.…”

The dielectric properties of bio‐hybrid composites based on natural Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (OPEFB), montmorillonite (MMT) and organomodified montmorillonite (OMMT) nanoclay reinforced kenaf (KF)/epoxy are reported in this study. The molecular mobility, interfacial adhesion between KF fibers and epoxy resin matrix, and fragility near the glass transition temperature were evaluated using Broadband dielectric spectroscopy over a wide temperature range from 20 to 180°C and a frequency range from 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz. Obtained results indicated different relaxations: the α glass‐rubbery transition and the interfacial polarization between KF/epoxy called Maxwell‐Wagner‐Sillars polarization “MWS(KF/epoxy)” whose amplitude, position and dielectric strength ∆εMWS(kenaf/epoxy) depends on the type of the added nanofillers. ∆εMWS(kenaf/epoxy) decrease for all the measured temperatures while the activation energy Ea of the α‐process and rigidity increase when the nanocharges are introduced. It has been found that the OPEFB, MMT, and OMMT are uniformly distributed in the matrix and act as a link between the KF fibers and the epoxy resin via the formation of new CO and SiOSi bonds.
