“…The combination of a rigid and moderately elastic ber with an extreme load-to-failure ber increases the fracture toughness of the resultant composite [13]. Furthermore, combining one kind of organic ber with the other gives a noteworthy and workable option that leads to multipurpose composites having great creep and wear strength and better impact strength [14].…”

This work aims to investigate the effect of SiO 2 nanoparticles on the mechanical properties of pineapple leaf ber (PALF) epoxy hybrid composites. The compression molding process was used to create the composite. To achieve the aforementioned goals, the blends were made using 25% PALF and varied weight proportions (3wt%, 6wt%, and 9wt%) of SiO 2 nanoparticles. Tensile, bending, impact, interlaminar shear, shoreline D hardness, and dynamic mechanical analysis were all evaluated. SEM was used to examine the morphology of the materials, and an FTIR spectrometer was used to look for the presence of organic chemicals in ber-reinforced composite materials. The ndings show that adding 25% PALF ber and 6% SiO 2 nanoparticles (D-type) to the epoxy polymer improved the thermal and mechanical properties of the composites. It can be attributed to the improved interaction and homogeneous dispersion of the llers and epoxy polymers. Moreover, the water uptake parameters of all samples were studied. The ndings showed that the inclusion of reinforcements boosts the water uptake of the composite signi cantly. The initial deterioration rate of the SiO 2 -incorporated hybrids is almost the same, at about 400°C, which is considerably greater than that of the beginning breakdown temperatures of PALF (300°C), according to the thermography study. This might imply that the ber and polymers form a stronger bond, reducing polymer movement and increasing the thermostability of the combination.

Mostly at the micro- and nanoscales, efforts were made to produce innovative thermoplastic nanocomposite materials. These composites were reinforced with natural fibres and artificial additives with improved mechanical characteristics. This research entails the creation of a novel nanocomposite material made up of unsaturated polyester resin, graphite at the nanoscale, and flax fibres at the microscale. Flax fibres make up 4, 8, and 12% of the binding matrix’s weight, respectively. A constant quantity of nanoparticles equal to 4 wt% of the binding matrix is used. In order to stick the graphene to natural fibres, an appropriate surface alteration approach is needed, and this work will focus on the plasma technique of interface adherence. Fibres were employed as a reinforcement with polyester to create a nanocomposite that improved adherence between the fillers while also retaining the matrix alkalisation. In order to assess interferential adherence and fibre distribution homogeneity in the matrix system, the composite was made up of hand lay-up technique. The manufactured composite was engrossed into fluid N2 at -196°C. A SEM was utilized to undertake treated and untreated specimens for spectroscopy analyses. Mechanical possessions like tension and flexural were accomplished. In comparison to previous tested doses, the 5 percent alkali-treated flax incorporating graphite has shown promising outcomes than other samples.

A mixed microbiologically composite made from natural Linum usitatissimum fibers with nano-reinforced organic plastics can improve properties while being environmentally friendly. The inclusion of aluminium tris hydroxide particles into an organic polymer enables it to maintain stiffness without sacrificing durability, even while improving barriers and material characteristics. A study of numerous composite samples verified this complementary effect, with combinations including 10 percent EMS and 2.6 wt.% ATH retaining the resin’s stiffness, stress to breakage, and mechanical properties while improving durability. Mechanical tests such as tensile and impact strength were discovered using the conventional ASTM test plan. Best-practice designs which maximize constituent interactions are thus attainable, and the research findings serve as the basis for discovering this balance, thereby broadening the spectrum of microbiologically polymer nanocomposites. The cracked surfaces of the nanomaterials, and the amount of dispersion of an ATH filler, were examined using a scanning electron microscope.
