As the world of composite materials evolves, it will be necessary to use inexpensive and readily available natural materials as reinforcement. In present research work, epoxy composite reinforced with citrus limetta peels is fabricated by hand Layup setting using epoxy, hardener and powdered citrus limetta peel. Under dry conditions, the material was subjected to wear analysis on "Pin on Disc" wear testing equipment. Using Minitab 18 software a Taguchi "L9 Orthogonal Array", a plan of experiment was prepared to determine the wear behaviour in terms of wear and frictional force. The two output response elements, namely wear and friction force, have been chosen, and Taguchi analysis has been carried out on each individual output parameter. "Smaller-the-Better" option has been chosen for Taguchi Analysis. Using Taguchi analysis, signal to noise ratios have been developed for wear and friction force. The response factors with smaller values would result in superior composite structures. The wear property of composite was found to be affected by modifying applied load, sliding speed, and sliding time. The best combination of process settings resulted in the least amount of dry sliding wear possible. The ideal composite structure for wear and friction force is achieved when the load is 10 N, the test time is 4 minutes, and the sliding speed of RPM of 400.

“…Cementitious composites using coir fibre boosted their flexural toughness and flexural toughness index by a factor of more than 10% [23]. Many scientific researchers have focused at the mechanical properties of composite materials including how different nanofillers affect them [24][25][26]. Due to its great qualities, sisal is a strong, lightweight, natural polymer, and strong material utilized in a variety of sectors as a composite material.…”

Natural fiber composites are becoming an alternate material to synthetic fiber composites, and the use of eggshell bio-filler has been explored in polymer composites as environmental protection. Jute, coir, and sisal fibers were utilized in this research to make composites out of natural fibers. Polymer composites were made using epoxy resin with different amounts of eggshell powder (ESP) as fillers (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% of weight). The mechanical and biodegradability properties of the synthesized composites were investigated. The testing results showed that composites with an optimum percentage of 6% ESP as filler improved mechanical characteristics significantly in all three fiber composites. Among the three fibers, coir fiber with 6% ESP added showed a substantial increase in tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness strength properties by 34.64%, 48.50%, 33.33%, and 35.03%, respectively. In addition, the percentage weight loss of coir fiber composites at 9 weeks is noteworthy in terms of biodegradability testing. As a result, epoxy composites containing eggshell fillers could be employed in applications requiring better tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness strength.

The need for new sustainable engineering materials using polymer composites is evolving every day. Researchers are in a race to develop value‐added products from natural renewable sources and discarded waste materials. Studies indicate several hurdles while trying to provide ecologically friendly materials for product manufacturing over the years. Natural materials are more readily available, biodegradable, more affordable, have less processing health hazards, and are more environmentally friendly than synthetic materials. As the price of commercial polymers decreased, the incorporation of fillers became increasingly necessary for technical reasons.. The market for polymers can actually be expanded by appropriately combining fillers and polymers to produce a wide range of qualities in these two components. This review provides an overview on a variety of organic and inorganic fillers which were incorporated into the polymer composites and their influence on the physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of polymer composites by various characterization methods and their In fact, it is possible to achieve a wide range of qualities in these two components by appropriately combining polymers and fillers, which expands the market for which polymers may be employed.application scopes.
