“…In this study, the maximum impact strength of the composite is obtained in the composite which has 35% pulp and 50% resin composition. If the pulp composition percentage decreases, it gradually increases the impact strength of the flax-reinforced composites (Kumar and Kumar, 2020). Figure 36 represents the impact strength of flax-pulp reinforced composites.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the behavior of hybrid bio-composites under varied applications. Design/methodology/approach Fabrication methods and material characterization of various hybrid bio-composites are analyzed by studying the tensile, impact, flexural and hardness of the same. The natural fiber is a manufactured group of assembly of big or short bundles of fiber to produce one or more layers of flat sheets. The natural fiber-reinforced composite materials offer a wide range of properties that are suitable for many engineering-related fields like aerospace, automotive areas. The main characteristics of natural fiber composites are durability, low cost, low weight, high specific strength and equally good mechanical properties. Findings The tensile properties like tensile strength and tensile modulus of flax/hemp/sisal/Coir/Palmyra fiber-reinforced composites are majorly dependent on the chemical treatment and catalyst usage with fiber. The flexural properties of flax/hemp/sisal/coir/Palmyra are greatly dependent on fiber orientation and fiber length. Impact properties of flax/hemp/sisal/coir/Palmyra are depended on the fiber content, composition and orientation of various fibers. Originality/value This study is a review of various research work done on the natural fiber bio-composites exhibiting the factors to be considered for specific load conditions.

“…It is observed that flexural strength increases with increases in palm fiber content to a certain extent and drop beyond 30% (Figure 34). The drop in strength for fiber loading > 30% was due to the poor wettability of fiber (Mohan Kumar et al, 2020).…”
