“…Hanan et al [ 9 ] studied the hybridization effects of OPEFB/kenaf fiber mats reinforced with epoxy composites, and reported that kenaf fiber-based composites renders better tensile and flexural properties, while OPEFB composites show better impact properties. Rihayat et al [ 13 ] carried out a study with bamboo, pineapple leaf, and coir fibers in single and hybrid composites. They reported that bamboo/polyester composites exhibit the highest tensile strength (255 MPa), compared to pineapple leaf/polyester (116 MPa) composites and coir fiber/polyester (92 MPa) composites.…”

Current work aims to study the mechanical and dynamical mechanical properties of non-woven bamboo (B)/woven kenaf (K)/epoxy (E) hybrid composites filled with nanoclay. The nanoclay-filled BK/E hybrid composites were prepared by dispersing 1 wt.% nanoclay (organically-modified montmorillonite (MMT; OMMT), montmorillonite (MMT), and halloysite nanotube (HNT)) with high shear speed homogenizer followed by hand lay-up fabrication technique. The effect of adding nanoclay on the tensile, flexural, and impact properties of the hybrid nanocomposites were studied. Fractography of tensile-fractured sample of hybrid composites was studied by field emission scanning electron microscope. The dynamic mechanical analyzer was used to study the viscoelastic properties of the hybrid nanocomposites. BK/E-OMMT exhibit enhanced mechanical properties compared to the other hybrid nanocomposites, with tensile, flexural, and impact strength values of 55.82 MPa, 105 MPa, and 65.68 J/m, respectively. Statistical analysis and grouping information were performed by one-way ANOVA (analysis of variance) and Tukey method, and it corroborates that the mechanical properties of the nanoclay-filled hybrid nanocomposites are statistically significant. The storage modulus of the hybrid nanocomposites was improved by 98.4%, 41.5%, and 21.7% with the addition of OMMT, MMT, and HNT, respectively. Morphology of the tensile fracture BK/E-OMMT composites shows that lesser voids, microcracks and fibers pull out due to strong fiber–matrix adhesion compared to other hybrid composites. Hence, the OMMT-filled BK/E hybrid nanocomposites can be utilized for load-bearing structure applications, such as floor panels and seatbacks, whereby lightweight and high strength are the main requirements.

“…Mechanical testing of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites is quite essential to determine its tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, hardness and water absorption property. Numerous studies have been carried out on mechanical testing on natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Mechanical properties of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites depend on various factors such as type of fiber, fiber-to-matrix ratio, stacking sequence of fiber, fiber orientation, manufacturing method and number of layers.…”

For a lot of years, extensive research was carried on the use of natural fibers in automotive sector to meet the environmental regulations as well as to increase the profit margins of company. Natural fibers being of low cost, recyclable and lightweight provide industry with the best alternative for traditional materials such as steel, aluminum and synthetic fiber. Applications such as car door panels, sun visors, seat covers and rearview mirrors have provided excellent scope for usage of natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Various car manufacturers have successfully implemented natural fiber-reinforced polymers in some of their car models in recent years and have yielded desirable results in terms of lightness, cost saving and reduction of environmental pollution. Various factors such as combinations of fibers, layer sequence, fiber-to-matrix ratio and manufacturing method influence the properties of the composite specimens. The natural fibers used are flax, hemp and kenaf. Epoxy is selected as a matrix material. Hand layup method was used to fabricate the specimens as well the car door panel. The mechanical testing was carried out to determine the tensile strength, flexural strength, hardness and impact strength according to ASTM standards. The composite with most desirable mechanical properties is chosen to fabricate the final car door panel. This paper also discusses about the optimization of influencing parameters for drilling the natural fiber-reinforced epoxy plate using Taguchi method. Spindle speed, feed rate and drill bit diameter are selected as input parameters. These parameters which influence the thrust force are measured by using drill tool dynamometer.

Today, there are over 2,000 different biomaterials used for various medical applications, but none of these biomaterials are 100% compatible with all human beings. Coconut fiber is widely available but has not been tested as a safe natural alternative for sutures. Immature coconut fiber is nonabsorbable and is effective for cuts and open wounds when used in combination with dehydrated human amnion membrane (dHAM). Immature coconut fiber, tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP), and dHAM were prepared to test their combinational effect on wound healing in rats. TSP enhanced cell viability, proliferation, and migration in human skin cells and cured wounds both individually and in combination with dHAM. An antibiotic-free combination of the human amniotic membrane with intact epithelium, tamarind seed polysaccharide, and immature coconut fiber provided faster wound healing. Significantly higher wound healing was seen on the 11th day based on an initial 10 mm biopsy punch surgery in Wistar rats compared to control groups. Histological studies revealed thickened dermis edges with more neutrophil infiltration. Collagen deposition in the dermis was homogeneous across the excised skin tissue in the test group, again attesting to the utility of this procedure. This research signifies the use of TSP gel together with the amnion membrane representing a “smart patch” with wound healing potential, which would encourage further research on the smart patch made using a combination of plant and animal biological materials.
