“…Increase in water absorption may leads to the volumetric expansion of the polymeric composite which results into decrease in mechanical properties. The increase in water absorption with the increase in alumina filler content is attributed to the presence of void in the polymer composite . Hence, the composite with maximum filler content, that is, 15 wt% alumina particulate filled needle‐punch nonwoven jute fiber reinforced epoxy composite has indicated maximum water sorption which also had maximum void content of 3.84% (Table ).…”

In the present study, needle-punch nonwoven jute fiber reinforced epoxy composites are fabricated by compression molding techniques by varying alumina ceramic particulates (0-15 wt%) in the composites. The physical tests are studied such as void content, hardness, and water absorption analysis and mechanical tests are performed such as: tensile strength, impact strength, and fracture toughness, respectively. The results indicated that with the addition of 5 wt% of alumina particulate to the unfilled needle-punch nonwoven jute epoxy composite is increased the hardness by 13.15%, tensile strength by 30%, flexural strength by 20%, and impact strength by 9.01%, respectively. Finally, thermo-mechanical test such as dynamic mechanical analysis, thermo-gravimetric analysis, and thermal conductivity analysis of the unfilled and particulate filled polymer composites are characterized. The thermal conductivity of the unfilled composite is decreased by 3.01% by the addition of 5 wt% of alumina particulate. Further, it is also observed that jute reinforced epoxy composites filled with 15 wt% alumina particulate presented highest storage modulus, loss modulus, and thermal stability as compared with 0 wt%, 5 wt%, and 10 wt% alumina particulate filled jute epoxy composite.

Composites are primarily made using matrix and reinforcement as major components but may also contain several other fillers or additives. A majority of the composites are made using synthetic fibers and polymers. However, in the last few decades, focus has been on developing biocomposites using renewable resources. Conventionally, biocomposites are developed using natural fibers such as jute, Kenaf, or Ramie as reinforcement and synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and epoxy as matrix. Typically, biocomposites contain either the reinforcement or matrix which makes the composites partially degradable. Such partially degradable composites provide good properties, but the presence of a nonbiodegradable component, particularly as a matrix limits their biodegradability. Alternatively, composites that contain both the matrix and reinforcement from renewable resources which make the composites completely degradable have also been developed. However, these completely biodegradablebiocomposites do not have the desired mechanical properties and stability at high humidities or in aqueous environments which restricts their application. In addition, natural fibers and resins used in biocomposites have inherent limitations and also not easily processable. To overcome limitation of using a single reinforcement or matrix derived from bioresources, hybrid composites that contain more than one reinforcement or matrix are developed. Such hybrid composites are manufactured by either intimately mixing two or more fibers or other reinforcing materials or by placing different layers of the reinforcement and molding them into composites using one or more resins. Conventionally, hybrid composites refer to metallic and ceramic based reinforcement, matrix and fillers. Although hybrid biocomposites are gaining significant attention, the presence of multiple reinforcements and/or matrix makes it difficult to process and also to predict the properties of such composites. Hence, understanding the properties and potential of using multiple reinforcements and/or matrix materials from renewable resources to develop biobased hybrid composites is highly desirable. This article discusses hybrid composites that contain a major proportion of renewable materials. Hybrid composites not only provide better properties but could also lead to substantial cost reduction due to the incorporation of inexpensive raw materials. These composites show potential for use in aeronautical, sporting goods, wind power turbine blades, helmets and civil construction such as pedestrian bridges and many other applications. This review provides an overview of the biobased materials used to develop hybrid composites, their processability and their potential applications. POLYM.

This paper presents an experimental study of the influence of the addition of palm nut fiber on the mechanical strength of cement mortar. Cement mortar specimens reinforced with naturals palm nut fibers have been developed containing between 0 and 3.5% volume fraction fibers. Compression test and flexural test (3-point bending test) are performed on the different samples. It is found from the flexural test that the flexural strength of the mortar reinforced with palm nuts increases slightly regardless of the maturation time of the sample. Conversely, compression tests show a gradual decrease in mechanical strength with the addition of fibers.
