“…[28] The hybridization of natural fibers reported boosting various performances attributes of polymer composites. [29] The influence of nanoclay on various performance properties of coir-wood fiber reinforced hybrid polypropylene composite was investigated by S. Islam et al. [30] Authors claimed that nanoclay addition in the hybrid composites resulted in higher tensile strength, increased water absorption, and reduced biodegradability.…”

Hemp-sisal natural fiber-reinforced hybrid epoxy composites containing a varying proportion of silica nanoparticles (0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 wt%) were manufactured and subsequently evaluated for physical, mechanical, and sliding wear properties. The density of the composite was found to increase, whereas void content was found to decrease with the increase of silica nanoparticles content. The composites containing 2 wt% silica nanoparticles exhibit maximum tensile strength, impact strength, and hardness, whereas the composite with 3 wt% silica nanoparticles showed the highest flexural strength. Dry sliding wear tests of the manufactured composites were carried out on a pin-on-disc machine under different sliding speeds, distances and applied loads at room temperature. Taguchi based L 16 orthogonal array design was used to find the optimum combination of control factors resulting in higher wear resistance. The analysis reveals that the silica nanoparticles contribute the most towards wear performance with a contribution ratio of 32.61% and a combination of 2 wt% of silica nanoparticles, 10 N normal load, 1.5 m/s sliding speed and 500 m sliding distance resulted in higher wear resistance.

“…Thermoset polymers facilitate the composite materials with better mechanical, chemical, and dimensional stability as well as thermal performances by creating a "cross-link" with the polymers [32]. Among different thermosetting polymers, polyester [33,34], epoxy [35,36], MUF [37], and PF [38] are used largely for natural fiber reinforced composite production. PF resin shows higher stiffness, chemical resistance, and excellent insulation properties [39].…”

This study investigated about the developments of insulation panels from multilayered coir long and short fiber reinforced phenol formaldehyde polymeric (PF) resin. The lengths of coir long fibers (CLF) were within 3 mm, whereas the short fibers (CSF) ranged from 0.1 mm to 1.25 mm. Four composite panels of 360, 680, 800, and 1000 kg/m3 densities were developed by employing hot pressing technology. The thermal conductivity, microstructural, mechanical, and physical properties of the composite panels were investigated. Perceived thermal conductivity values ranged within 0.046280 (0.000494) to 0.062400 (0.001146) Wm‒1 k‒1of the composites demonstrating superior insulation properties. Moreover, the current study also found that mechanical and thermal properties showed improvement with the increase of density. Low-density fiberboards had the lowest performances compared to high-density composite panels, with the exception of the 1000 kg/m3 density, in which fiber agglomeration occurred. Furthermore, all the developed composite panels display superior potentiality for use as effective insulation materials. The FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analysis also shows an efficient bonding between the cellulosic coir materials and PF resin. The overall characteristics of the composite panels, especially medium fiberboard, show prominent potential for industrial production units by fulfilling the consumer requirements.

A novel epoxy-based composites were fabricated by reinforcing pineapple/flax (PF) fibers and peanut oil cake (PCF) filler using the hand layup cum compression moulding technique and investigated its mechanical, water absorption and wear properties as a function of wt.% of PF fibers (20–40 wt.%) and PCF (1–3 wt.%). The XRD and FTIR results proved the presence of lignocellulosic nature in PCF. Mechanical test results showed significant enhancement in the properties after the addition of PCF. The maximum tensile, flexural and impact properties of 37. 89 MPa, 70.28 MPa and 96.99 J/m were observed in the composites having 20 wt.% of PF and 2 wt.% of PCF. Taguchi based optimization observed a lower specific wear rate (SWR) with 2 wt.% PCF/20 wt.% PF/5 N load and 1500 m sliding distance (SD) combination. The ANOVA results proved the significance of PCF, PF fiber, sliding distance, and load for SWR in this experimentation. The Taguchi optimized results observed a lower coefficient of friction (COF) in 2 wt.% PCF/20 wt.% PF/5N load/500 m SD combination. SEM results displayed surface deformations in the wear-tested composites.
