The increasing demand for eco-friendly materials and technology has made the industry focus on bio-compatible composites. This made the researchers explore the potential of eco-friendly, bio-degradable, and inexpensive banana fibre for automotive applications. This work reports the preparation and testing of banana fibre natural hybrid composite fibres randomly oriented with and without adding silica filler (5–15 wt.%) through a hand lay-up process. The mechanical properties such as tensile modulus, flexural modulus, hardness, impact strength, and water absorption capacity were measured. Composite specimens having a fibre length of 30 mm (15 wt.% of silica) exhibited better mechanical properties. The hardness, tensile, flexural, and impact strength measured were 46.74 HV, 54.71 MPa, 127.94 MPa, and 15.19 kJ/m2. The results showed significant improvement in mechanical properties in silica-reinforced hybrid composite compared to composites without silica filler. The wt.% of banana fibre increases, and the number of free hydroxyls (-OH) groups increases in cellulose, increasing moisture absorption. The pattern in which the composite absorbs the moisture at room temperature is called “Fickian behaviour.” Furthermore, scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterisation studied the interaction between fibre matrix and the distribution of silica reinforcement. This research concludes that bio-composites that exhibit improved mechanical properties are eco-friendly and are found to be suitable for automotive applications that meet present-day requirements.

Natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) have gained limelight in many applications during the recent years, owing to their availability, as well as superior mechanical characteristics, cost‐effectiveness, biodegradability, and lightweight. A comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing methods, proeprties and characteristics of natural fibers pave way for begetting a wide spectrum of applications for the NFPCs in automobile, aerospace, electronics, and other engineering fields. The current review article is about natural fiber‐reinforced composites, the commonly used fabrication methods, including fiber pre‐treatments, and numerous intermediate steps added to achieve improved bonding, processability of these composites, their properties and application prospects. Various state‐of‐the‐art methods like additive manufacturing, vaccum bag molding, and autoclave has also been discussed. The mechanical properties obtained through various fiber reinforcements in accordance with process parameters has a substantial impact in the industrial applications of NFPCs. The tribological applications of NFPCs are becoming increasingly important in order to deal with the mechanical and chemical wear and tear during their service life in contact applications. Flammability behavior and biodegradability assessment of NFPCs are important for high‐temperature and outdoor environmental applications of these materials. The review also includes a comprehensive discussion about the trending applications and future prospects for NFPCs.

“…The choice of CG fiber in this study is based on its abundant availability in India and its barely noticeable importance in vegetation [11]. Despite the fact that CG fiber has considerable reinforcing potential, only limited studies are available on CG fiber-reinforced composites, and even then, filler experiments [12,13] are seldom documented. Impregnation of fillers has emerged as a widely adopted technique for augmenting the thermomechanical properties of composite materials.…”

The present study used Calotropis Gigantea fiber, which has minuscule significance in vegetation value, and waste Nelumbo Nucifera filler for the production of polymer composites. The Calotropis gigantea yarn fiber is twisted into Two-Ply Yarn and subsequently woven into mats, the mat underwent both NaOH treatment and microwave irradiation in order to enhance their compatibility with epoxy. This work aims to examine the mechanical and dynamic properties of a hybrid composite material consisting of a Chemically and Microwave Treated Calotropis Gigantea (CMTCG) fiber combined with Nelumbo nucifera (NN) infills. The objective of this study is to investigate the possible improvement of the mechanical and dynamic characteristics of polymer composites by developing composite samples that include different weight proportions of NN fillers in CMTCG-reinforced Epoxy composites. The assessment of the mechanical properties of several combinations of CMTCG with NN infills was conducted utilizing established testing methodologies, including tensile, flexural, impact, and Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) to assess the viscoelastic nature of the composites. In addition to this, a Cole-Cole curve is plotted by utilizing the findings of the DMA to analyze the effect of particle impregnation and the anticipation of the heterogeneity of the composite material at different loadings of fillers. The current investigation revealed that a fiber loading of 10 weight percentages represented the optimal threshold, and any loading value resulted in a noticeable decline in all characteristics.
