“…Filler Material Effect on Tensile Strength. Figure 3 indicates that the filler-filled composite retains more tensile strength and has tensile values nearly twice as high as the fabric composite without a filler [17]. e tensile strength for fibre loading in a jute-vinyl ester resin composite is shown in Figure 3, indicating that when the number of sheets in the composite increases from two to a few, then four, the tensile strength increases.…”

The demand and applications of bolstered plastics such as natural, attainable, biodegradable, and fibres were developing worldwide in industries beginning from home utilities to aerospace applications. The high cost and weight of synthetic fibres were bolstered by a multitude of concerns. Subsequently, it is far vital to create a natural fibre combination with a matrix to accumulate the most efficient common presentation. In this present study, a composite is made of a natural fibre (jute) reinforced with vinyl ester resin with and without a filler (SiO2). Untreated jute fibres are utilised as reinforcement, while filler materials were used to increase the characteristics of jute fibre and analyse the impact of filler material in the composite. The produced composite was tested for tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength, and hardness. The SEM study of the fracture surface was also evaluated in the present study. Filler-mixed composites have a 50 percent higher tensile strength than those without fillers, and the remaining attributes have enhanced by at least 5 to 10%. From analysis, filler-mixed composites hold a good mechanical property due to fibre-filler bonding with the help of vinyl ester resin.

Recent Advances in Natural Fibre-Based Materials for Food Packaging Applications

Packaging is one of the major domains in the food processing industry that reduces waste and enhances product shelf life. Recently, research and development have focused on bioplastics and bioresources to combat environmental issues caused by the alarming growth of single-use plastic waste food packaging. The demand for natural fibres has recently increased because of their low cost, biodegradability and eco-friendliness. This article reviewed recent developments in natural fibre-based food packaging materials. The first part discusses the introduction of natural fibres in food packaging, with a focus on fibre source, composition and selection parameters, while the second part investigates the physical and chemical ways to modify natural fibres. Several plant-derived fibre materials have been utilised in food packaging as reinforcements, fillers and packaging matrices. Recent investigations developed and modified natural fibre (physical and chemical treatments) into packaging using casting, melt mixing, hot pressing, compression moulding, injection moulding, etc. These techniques majorly improved the strength of bio-based packaging for commercialisation. This review also identified the main research bottlenecks and future study areas were suggested.

“…Most of them reported that the thermal conductivity rises when the fiber content increases due to the increase of the porosity within composites that affects the capability of heat transfer. 27,28 From modeling point of view, several works used finite elements method FEM and analytical models to predict the mechanical behavior of natural fibers reinforced composites (NFRCs). In this way, Palombini et al 29 used FEM to investigate the effect of the different structural components of the bamboo.…”

To meet the growing demand for the use of environmentally and friendly materials in various applications, many efforts have been done in order to provide lighweighting, biodegradable, and renewable composites leading to a diminution of greenhouse gas emissions. However, they are confronting some challenges that may limit their utilization in industries such as poor interfacial adherence, high moisture absorption, low processing temperature, and impact strength. Several research works have been carried out regarding the mechanical, thermal, and hydric properties of natural fibers reinforced composites to deal with above underlined drawbacks. Actually, based on our analysis, there are two relevant concerns that prevent their integration in other industries such as marine and renewable energy sectors. In this context, the current critical review offers an up to date overview of the factors influencing the properties of the different components of natural fibers composites (fiber, matrix, fiber/matrix interface) as well as their physicochemical, mechanical, thermal and hydric behaviors. Recent works on the mechanical properties of nanobiocomposites based on cellulosic fibers, crystals, and nano-clay fillers are reviewed. The future directions are also discussed to overcome the challenges confronted by these materials, that is, fire resistance and moisture absorption, in order to widespread their utilization especially for wet and fire retardant purposes.
