“…They show that fique powder and fique fibers improve the thermal stability of EP. These results have been reported for several biocomposites materials based on thermoplastic 5,24,25 and thermosetting matrices 3,11 and can be considered as an advantage in the performance and service temperature of these materials.…”

“…Their results show that fiber orientation 0°/90° induces the highest mechanical properties (tensile, flexural strengths, and modulus) in the biocomposites. Another study conducted on the effect of fiber content and orientation on the mechanical properties of epoxy-jute-Kevlar hybrid composites by Maharana et al 11 revealed that 40% fiber loading with 30° fiber orientation enhances the hybrid composite tensile properties, whereas flexural properties were maximized for 40% fiber loading with 45° fiber orientation. Prabakaran et al 12 researched the effect of fiber orientation on the mechanical properties of Epoxy-Glass Fiber composites oriented at 0°/90°and non-woven mat composites.…”

This work examines the morphology, mechanical and thermal properties of biocomposites based on epoxy resin-EP and fique (Furcraea andina), a native crop of South America. The EP-fique biocomposites were prepared using fique powder-FP an industrial waste generated during fique processing, nonwoven fique fiber mats-NWF and unidirectional fique fiber mats-UF oriented at 0° and 90°. The addition of fique into EP matrix restricts EP macromolecule chains movement and enhance the thermal stability of EP. SEM images showed that fique form used (powder or fiber) and mat arrangement can generate changes in the biocomposites morphology. Mechanical characterization show that fique powder and fique fibers oriented at 90° acts as fillers for the epoxy matrix while the fique fibers oriented at 0° reinforce EP matrix increasing the tensile and flexural modulus up to 5700 and 1100% respectively and tensile and flexural strength up to 277% and 820% in comparison with neat EP. The obtained results can increase the interest in researching and developing products from fique Powders and other natural fibers processing byproducts thus reducing the abundance of waste in soil and landfills and environmental concerns and suggest that the EP-fique biocomposites are promising to be used in the automotive sector.

The rise in environmental concerns and pollution is largely to blame for the popularity of jute and its hybrid composites. Jute fibers are inexpensive, plentiful, and have acceptable mechanical characteristics such as tensile, flexural, and impact strength, along with a moderate to high tensile modulus. Environmental worries about the risks of composites made with synthetic fibers have caused an exponential growth in research into all‐natural fibers and materials. Many applications have made heavy use of jute and its hybrid composites. Hybrid jute‐based composites offer improved mechanical and physical characteristics that are marginally superior to jute fiber composites. This review includes a thorough examination of composites made of jute fiber. The main objective of this review article is to offer a critical analysis and highlight all recent advancements in jute‐based composites. The information in the article covers a variety of jute‐based composites topics, such as their chemical composition, surface treatments, mechanical and physical properties, applications, and hybrid jute‐based composites.

“…[ 11 ] Jute fiber was used as the skin material, while palm fiber was used as the core material. The consequence of fiber concentration and orientation on mechanical properties of jute Kevlar was done by Maharana et al [ 12 ] Venkatasudhahar et al [ 13 ] examined the effects of stacking order on the mechanical characteristics of hybrid composites reinforced with jute, carbon, and banana fibers with five layers of fiber. They discovered that the carbon–jute–jute–jute–carbon sequence gives the highest mechanical property and five layer banana lowest mechanical property.…”

The present work reports the mechanical, thermo-physical and water absorption properties of Cascabela thevetia (CT)-Calotropis gigantean (CG)/epoxy natural fiber hybrid composites. Using a standard hand lay-up method the hybrid natural fiber composites was fabricated from CT and CG fibers with different fiber loading (0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%) and with different weight ratio of CT and CG fibers (1:1, 1:3, and 3:1). Physical property (density), various mechanical properties (tensile, young's modulus, flexural and impact strength), thermal properties (thermogravimetric analysis, specific heat, thermal conductivity, and thermal diffusivity) and water absorption properties were evaluated.It was observed that composites with CT:CG = 3:1 fiber loading reveals highest mechanical properties as compared to 1:1 and 1:3 fiber loading ratio. Moreover, the highest properties were obtained at 20 wt% which includes 15 wt% of CT fiber and 5 wt% of CG fibers. The findings show that at all fiber loadings, the composite manufactured with CT and CG fiber in a weight ratio of 3:1 soaks less water, exhibits less thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity with highest mechanical properties. In order to decrease energy consumption, the manufactured hybrid composites were suited for use in construction materials and automobiles.
