“…Therefore, it can enhance the interlocking strength between fibers and matrix that improved the stress transfer of the developed hybrid biocomposites 61 . After the glassy region, the storage modulus of the developed biocomposites dropped down to a lower level due to increase mobility inside the bio‐epoxy chain molecules and this region is called as glass transition region (60 to 105°C) 20 …”

Natural fibers are exceptional renewable resources to develop biocomposite materials for reducing the negative effects on the environment and producing economical and lightweight materials for load bearing semi‐structural applications. The present study is an attempt to develop kenaf/pineapple reinforced bio‐epoxy biocomposite and investigates thermo‐mechanical and viscoelastic properties under accelerated weathering conditions. The compression molding technique is used to develop biocomposite with four different arrangements of kenaf/pineapple laminates. To perform accelerated weathering, laminates are exposed to ultraviolet radiation and humidity conditions with extreme temperature in weathering tester machine. The tensile, flexural, impact, thermogravimetric analysis, thermal conductivity, viscoelastic properties, and water absorption tests are performed before and after accelerated weathering. The results revealed that the hybridization of kenaf/pineapple laminates showed better interfacial strength and stiffness while reducing the moisture sensitivity under accelerated weathering conditions. The morphology and fracture behavior of biocomposites are examined with scanning electron microscopy.

“…Bringing together the distinguished types of materials, GFRP becomes a composite material that takes over both tensile and compressive loads [15]. Due to these behavioral improvements, the GFRP composites find increasing use in electrical, sound and thermal insulation, structure of boats and ships, aerospace applications [16], automotive areas, sports equipment [17], sheet molding compounds [18,19], etc. On the other hand, CFs are fibers composed of principally carbon atoms and hold usual characteristics such as high stiffness, low weight, high tensile strength, high-temperature tolerance, high chemical resistance as well as low thermal expansion.…”

Over the last few years, there has been a growing interest in the study of lightweight composite materials. Due to their tailorable properties and unique characteristics (high strength, flexibility and stiffness), glass (GFs) and carbon (CFs) fibers are widely used in the production of advanced polymer matrix composites. Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have been developed by different fabrication methods and are extensively used for diverse engineering applications. A considerable amount of research papers have been published on GFRP and CFRP composites, but most of them focused on particular aspects. Therefore, in this review paper, a detailed classification of the existing types of GFs and CFs, highlighting their basic properties, is presented. Further, the oldest to the newest manufacturing techniques of GFRP and CFRP composites have been collected and described in detail. Furthermore, advantages, limitations and future trends of manufacturing methodologies are emphasized. The main properties (mechanical, vibrational, environmental, tribological and thermal) of GFRP and CFRP composites were summarized and documented with results from the literature. Finally, applications and future research directions of FRP composites are addressed. The database presented herein enables a comprehensive understanding of the GFRP and CFRP composites’ behavior and it can serve as a basis for developing models for predicting their behavior.

“…The results showed that the reinforcement of treated particles into the matrix resulted in considerable improvement in compressive strength as compared to untreated particles. Ikladious et al [15] and Anand et al [72] have also reported that incorporation of alkali-treated natural filler composites enhanced the compressive strength compared to untreated composites. In the present study, the highest compressive strength value was exhibited by treated composite at 75 μm particle size and was about 11.5% times higher than the matrix.…”

The main objective and novelty of this study is to investigate the effect of particle size and alkali treatment on physical, mechanical properties of tamarind pod shell (TPS)‐reinforced epoxy composites. The treated and untreated composites were fabricated with different particle sizes with TPS content of 10 wt%. The mechanical, physical, and morphological properties of specimens were investigated. It was revealed that the density and mechanical properties of the treated and untreated composites increased with the decrease in the particle size; whereas, the water absorption percentage and void content decreased for the same. The treated composite with the particle size of 75 μm exhibited the maximum tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. Further, the multiscale finite element (FE) model was developed using the Digimat‐FE software to simulate the tensile behavior of composites with different particle size. The simulation results revealed that the stress concentration level was more in the vicinity of the voids, and the higher stress concentration was observed in the matrix phase with the increase in particle size. Also, it was found that the predicted results from the multiscale FE model showed a good agreement with the experimental results. The results suggested that the TPS filled epoxy composites have potential utility in the fields of automotive interior panels, particulate board panels, household goods, packaging materials, building partitions, and many other applications.
