“…The polymer composites must be reinforced with fibers of sufficient strength which is capable of transferring maximum stress with the matrix before failure. The weaker reinforced fibers will definitely hinder the performance of the composite 8 . Recently, commercially available natural fibers such as jute, coir, sisal, hemp, and so forth, reinforced polymer composites are used in packaging, textile, household appliances, aerospace, insulation materials, and automobile industries 9,10 …”

Natural fibers are a powerful competitor in the polymer composite market due to their availability, sustainability, obtainability, cost, and biodegradability. The surface of natural fibers was changed to increase mechanical qualities, hydrophobicity, and bonding with polymer matrix. This study exposes the influence of several surface treatments of coconut tree peduncle fibers (CTPFs) on the thermomechanical and water absorption properties of CTPF-reinforced polymer composites. The CTPFs were treated with sodium hydroxide, benzoyl peroxide, potassium permanganate and stearic acid at a constant 40 wt% and individually reinforced in an unsaturated polyester resin matrix containing 60 wt% CTPFs. Chemically treated CTPFs improved reinforcement-matrix

“…[7] The characteristics of the PLA, such as biodegradability, good aesthetics, comparable mechanical characteristics, high modulus, better thermal stability and ease of processing, makes PLA-based green composites a choice in automobile exteriors and interiors, packaging and biomedical applications. [8][9][10] In spite of all the above mentioned positive characteristics the relatively low toughness, high stiffness and brittleness of the PLA over its other counterpart like polypropylene restricts its use in certain applications. [11] This issue was addressed to some extent by using modifiers as oils and reinforcements.…”

The aim of this study is to develop a completely sustainable, biodegradable, eco-friendly and green composite material for packaging of food and medical products by an additive manufacturing technique such as 3D printing. This report presents the mechanical, crystalline, chemical bonding and thermal characteristics of a novel pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) reinforcing polylactic acid (PLA) green composite manufactured by 3D printing technique. Both powdered raw and alkali-treated PALFs were respectively mixed with PLA and extruded as filaments for 3D printing into composite test specimens. The characterization study reveals that the 3D printed composite with 3 wt% (alkalitreated) PALF reinforcement exhibited maximum tensile and flexural characteristics. The density of the 3D printed composite specimens increased with increase in wt% of PALF. On the other hand, the 3D printed composite specimens blended with raw PALF showed enhanced elongation at break compared to alkali-treated PALF reinforced composite specimens. The microstructural images of the 3D printed composite specimens confirms the existence of impurities, voids and fiber degradation phenomenon. The Fourier transform infrared spectra revealed the chemical bonding nature of the 3D printed composite specimens. The X-Ray diffraction was used to calculate the crystalline size and crystallinity index. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals that the 3D printed composite specimen possessed adequate thermal stability for use in packaging applications.

Effect of stacking sequence and silicon carbide nanoparticles on properties of carbon/glass/Kevlar fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composites

Synthetic fibers as reinforcement in composites are inevitable in today's composite industry due to its exceptional mechanical properties. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of stacking sequence of carbon, glass and Kevlar bidirectional (0 /90 ) woven mat synthetic fibers reinforced in epoxy matrix composite with silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles as filler material on mechanical and visco-elastic behavior of developed novel hybrid polymer matrix composites (HPMCs). Vacuum bag infusion method is adopted to manufacture the composite specimens by stacking carbon, glass and Kevlar fibers alternatively with six layers and six different stacking sequences and tested as per ASTM standards. Tensile, flexural, impact and hardness test is conducted to identify the composite specimen with maximum mechanical characteristics. The maximum tensile and flexural strength of 398.178 and 671.25 MPa respectively is seen for the composite with strong fibers such as carbon and glass stacked away from the neutral axis. Also, the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of tensile and flexural failure specimen revealed the failure mechanisms of developed composite specimens. Moreover, the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed the visco-elastic behavior of developed composites with glass transition temperature (T g ) at 115 C. This study emphasizes the influence of stacking sequence on thermo-mechanical properties of the developed HPMC specimens and explores its potential for diverse applications.
