“…These studies have demonstrated the adaptability of epoxies with many different types of reinforcement fibres. The comparable properties of epoxy-based composites have led to their use in wider applications today (Jawaid et al 2010;Ku et al 2011;Phong et al 2013;Caprino et al 2015;Saba et al 2015). Glass and carbon fibre-reinforced epoxies are now the major components in the production of boats, automobiles, aircrafts, and sport equipment (Soutis 2005;Suhaily et al 2013).…”

Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the thermal degradation and thermal stability of bamboo powder and its composites (EP-BFC) in a nitrogen atmosphere. The thermal stability of EP-BFC decreased as the bamboo filler-loading increased. Compared with epoxy, bamboo powder had a lower thermal stability, which reduced the thermal stability for the higher filler-loading composites. The addition of glass fibre to the EP-BFC improved the thermal stability of the new hybrid composites. Both the hybrid and nonhybrid composites exhibited similar thermal-induced degradation profiles that had only one mass loss step. However, a noticeable difference between the percentage value of the degradation between both the hybrid and non-hybrid composites showed that the EP/G-BFC hybrids were more thermally stable than the non-hybrid EP-BFC. Different materials experienced different activities, which were clearly shown from the DSC analysis. Bamboo fibre and non-fully cured epoxy exhibit exothermic peaks, while fully cured epoxy exhibits an endothermic peak.

Abstract. The oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) natural fibres were comprehensively reviewed to assess their potential as reinforcing materials in polymer composites for energy absorption during low-velocity impact. The typical oil palm wastes include trunks, fronds, kernel shells, and empty fruit bunches. This has a tendency to burden the industry players with disposal difficulties and escalates the operating cost. Thus, there are several initiatives have been employed to convert these wastes into value added products. The objective of this study is to review the potential of oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) as natural fibre polymer composite reinforcement to absorb the energy during low-velocity impact as another option for value added products. Initially, this paper reviewed the local oil palm waste issues. Previous research works on OPEFB polymer composite, and their mechanical characterization is appraised. Their potential for energy absorption in low-velocity impact application was also elaborated. The review suggests high potential applications of OPEFB as reinforcing materials in composite structures. Furthermore, it is wisely to utilize the oil palm biomass waste into a beneficial composite, hence, promotes the green environment.

“…Hybrid composites reinforced with natural fibres, well often combined with synthetic fibres such as glass/Carbon fibres, can demonstrate exemplary mechanical performance (Abu Bakar et al 2005;Wan Busu et al 2010;Noorunnisa Khanam et al 2010). Sisal/oil palm fibres and jute/oil palm fibres appear to be promising materials because of the high tensile strength of sisal and jute fibres and the toughness of oil palm fibre (Jacob et al 2004b;Jawaid et al 2010). Therefore, any composite comprised of these two fibres will exhibit the desirable properties of the individual constituents.…”
