“…This may be owing to the non-homogenous distribution of the fiber and non-intense interaction of the interface between the fiber and the matrix, leading to the weak impregnation of the fiber by the matrix. In a previous study, using 40 wt.% CR fiber loading without MWCNT, the impact strength was found to be 2.03 kJ/m 2 [21]. However, the addition of MWCNT in 40 wt.% CR fiber-reinforced phenolic composite enhanced the impact strength by as much as 65%.…”

“…In a previous study, using 40 wt.% CR fiber loading without MWCNT, the flexural strength and modulus were reported to be 65.26 MPa and 5.80 GPa, respectively [21]. The addition of MWCNT in 40 wt.% CR fiber-reinforced phenolic composite improved the flexural strength and modulus by around 14% and 2%, respectively.…”

“…The pristine phenolic LOI value of 29.33 indicates that it is a good flame retardant, mainly due to the considerable number of benzene rings present in the phenol structure.

“…Therefore, the incorporation of MWCNT in the phenolic Table 4 presents the comparison of CR fiber-reinforced phenolic composites with and without the presence of MWCNT. The presence of MWCNT in phenolic resin and reinforcement with CR fiber with a loading of 40 wt.% showed an increment in the water absorption and reduction in the thickness swelling with respect to the CR-reinforced phenolic resin [21]. The higher water absorption of the CR fiber-reinforced MWCNT-phenolic composites were due to the presence of -OH and -COOH hydrophilic groups on the MWCNT [36],which further increased the water absorption in CR fiber-reinforced phenolic composite.…”

“…Cyrtostachys renda (CR) from Arecaceae family are potential plant fibers that are used as reinforcement in polymer composites to add value to the resources of agro-waste. In a previous study, it has been experimentally found that bio-phenolic (Novolac) derived from CNSL is more compatible with CR fiber with a size less than 0.3 mm to enhance the mechanical properties [21]. In this research, the effect of MWCNT as a nanofiller was added to investigate the mechanical properties and the results were compared with a previous study without the presence of MWCNT-reinforced bio-phenolic composites.…”

This research focuses on evaluating the effect of Cyrtostachys renda (CR) fiber and the impact of adding multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on the morphological, physical, mechanical, and flammability properties of phenolic composites. MWCNT were supplemented with phenolic resin through a dry dispersion ball milling method. Composites were fabricated by incorporating CR fiber in 0.5 wt.% MWCNT-phenolic matrix by hot pressing. Nevertheless, the void content, higher water absorption, and thickness swelling increased with fiber loading to the MWCNT/phenolic composites. The presence of MWCNT in phenolic enhanced the tensile, flexural, and impact strength by as much as 18%, 8%, and 8%, respectively, compared to pristine phenolic. The addition of CR fiber, however, strengthened MWCNT-phenolic composites, improving the tensile, flexural, and impact strength by as much as 16%, 16%, and 266%, respectively, for 50 wt.% loading of CR fiber. The CR fiber may adhere properly to the matrix, indicating that there is a strong interface between fiber and MWCNT-phenolic resin. UL-94 horizontal and limiting oxygen index (LOI) results indicated that all composite materials are in the category of self-extinguishing. Based on the technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) technique, 50 wt.% CR fiber-reinforced MWCNT-phenolic composite was chosen as the optimal composite for mechanical and flammability properties. This bio-based eco-friendly composite has the potential to be used as an aircraft interior component.

In recent years, sustainable composites have gained increased attention due to various reasons, such as the depletion of non‐renewable resources, environmental sustainability, and the introduction of plastic pollution. The present work aims to develop biocomposites (with a maximum biological content of 61.78%) based on Bambusa tulda fiber and cashew‐nut shell oil‐based bio‐epoxy resin. Different concentrations of NaOH (2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%) are used to determine the most suitable NaOH concentration for bamboo fiber treatment. The effect of different treatment concentrations on bamboo fiber has been analyzed by performing single‐fiber tensile testing, fiber pull‐out testing, X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and atomic force microscopy. The investigation revealed that the 6% NaOH‐treated fiber showed better thermo‐mechanical and interfacial properties. Various fiber weight fractions (10%, 20%, 30%, and 40%) are used for composite fabrication, and 30% fiber‐loaded composites show the best mechanical properties. The effect of chemical treatments on the mechanical properties of biocomposites was investigated using composites with a 30% fiber weight fraction and different NaOH treatments. It has been reported that 30% fiber weight fraction 6% NaOH treated composites show better tensile strength (132.916 MPa), tensile modulus (6.983 GPa), flexural strength (154.8 MPa), modulus (8.243 GPa), and impact strength (44.06 kJ/m2) with less moist absorption. The developed composites have shown excellent potential for advanced engineering applications when compared with previously reported composites.
