“…The ultimate strain of the epoxy/Mg/PET composite was the lowest compared to the other samples. The tensile strength is greatly dependent on effective and uniform stress distribution [ 69 , 70 , 71 ]. The increased strength of the hybrid composite was primarily due to the high strength of the hemp fiber rather than the low strength of the PET fiber [ 72 ].…”

The application of natural fibers is rapidly growing in many sectors, such as construction, automobile, and furniture. Kenaf fiber (KF) is a natural fiber that is in demand owing to its eco-friendly and renewable nature. Nowadays, there are various new applications for kenaf, such as in absorbents and building materials. It also has commercial applications, such as in the automotive industry. Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) is used as a fire retardant as it is low in cost and has good flame retardancy, while polyester yarn (PET) has high tensile strength. The aim of this study was to determine the horizontal burning rate, tensile strength, and surface morphology of kenaf fiber/PET yarn reinforced epoxy fire retardant composites. The composites were prepared by hybridized epoxy and Mg(OH)2 PET with different amounts of KF content (0%, 20%, 35%, and 50%) using the cold press method. The specimen with 35% KF (epoxy/PET/KF-35) displayed better flammability properties and had the lowest average burning rate of 14.55 mm/min, while epoxy/PET/KF-50 with 50% KF had the highest tensile strength of all the samples. This was due to fewer defects being detected on the surface morphology of epoxy/PET/KF-35 compared to the other samples, which influenced the mechanical properties of the composites.

“…Typical examples include sisal, jute, kenaf, bamboo, banana, hemp, straw, rice husk, and empty fruit bunch (Taj et al 2007). The practicability of these naturally sourced fillers in polymer composites is predominantly due to their lignocelluloses content, which can be treated and modified to provide a reinforcing effect on the composites or making the composites susceptible to environmental conditions (Jagadeesh et al 2020). Table 4 compares the lignocellulosic content of RSS, and Table 5 tabulates various kinds of polymer matrices used along with RSS as a reinforcing filler.…”

Hevea brasiliensis is the most relevant source of natural rubber-based products in the world, and it is mostly found in Southeast Asia. This species is highly functional because its seeds can be utilized as a starting material for many essential applications related to polymer engineering and technology. The main practical compositions are its shell and kernel. The importance of each composition is varied based on the content of each structure. The kernel is predominantly composed of oil, where the oil can be utilized for the production of biofuel and to impart flexibility in many polymer-based composites. Furthermore, the carbon and lignocellulosic contents are heavily represented in the shell of the rubber seed, making the shell useful as a natural resource for carbon-derived applications.

“…[14,15] The thermoplastic-based composites are prepared by using the filament winding, extrusion, thermoforming, injection molding, compression method, foam molding, cold pressing, and co-extrusion techniques. [16][17][18] This review provides information about the properties of some newly identified natural fibers, types of nano-clay and recent progress in the development and characterization of nano-clay added natural fiber composites with specific concern to their mechanical properties.…”

The utilization of sustainable natural fibers as green filler/reinforcement material for producing polymeric composites is substantially improved due to increase in the perception of ecological safety and usage of biodegradable and renewable materials toward a green environment. These natural fibers are obtained from various sources and are reinforced in the polymer matrices to produce polymer matrix composites. However, the overall properties of these composites are low when compared to that of the synthetic fiber-based composites due to poor interfacial bonding between the hydrophilic natural fiber and hydrophobic polymers. This deficiency can be addressed by incorporating
