“…To reduce the number of sample preparation, design of experiments (DOE) concept is followed. Nine combinations of samples are fabricated as suggested by Taguchi's L9 array [29], a DOE technique. This technique customs special set of arrays called orthogonal array and used to reduce the number of samples.…”

“…To do so, some of the statistical routes [25 and 28] were taken by many researchers. In the work done by Kumar and coauthors [29], they used Taguchi method to see the effect of sliding velocity, fibre size, sliding distance and normal load on wear resistance of natural fibre composites. It was observed that the selected factors are contributing in varied proportions and their significance on wear is in the same order as mentioned in the phrase above.…”

Natural fibre reinforced polymer composites are often a better substitute to man-made fibre reinforced polymer composites because of their wide availability, economical, recyclability and biodegradability. In this paper, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites are made using coir/ fly ash as reinforcements. Influences of polymer types, natural fibre (coir) length and wt. % of fly ash on tensile and flexural behaviors are investigated. General purpose resin, Vinyl ester and Isophthalic resin are the different polymers used in making samples. The samples are prepared according to Taguchi Design of Experiments using L9 orthogonal array. To explore the significance of participating factors such as polymer type, natural fibre (coir) length and wt. % of fly ash on the tensile and flexural behaviors, ANOVA is implemented. Regression equations reveal that the type of polymer influences tensile and flexural behaviors more than that of natural fibre (coir) length and wt. % of fly ash. HIGHLIGHTS• Influence of Fly ash and Coir Fibre in mechanical performance of Polymer composite• Polymers exhibits varying performance in tensile and flexural loading• A threshold fly ash proportion has been limited to 5-10%.• Increasing fibre length shows improvement in strength whereas short fibre are good enough for modulus.

In recent times, demand for light weight and high strength materials fabricated from natural fibres has increased tremendously. The use of natural fibres has rapidly increased due to their high availability, low density, and renewable capability over synthetic fibre. Natural leaf fibres are easy to extract from the plant (retting process is easy), which offers high stiffness, less energy consumption, less health risk, environment friendly, and better insulation property than the synthetic fibre-based composite. Natural leaf fibre composites have low machining wear with low cost and excellent performance in engineering applications, and hence established as superior reinforcing materials compared to other plant fibres. In this review, the physical and mechanical properties of different natural leaf fibre-based composites are addressed. The influences of fibre loading and fibre length on mechanical properties are discussed for different matrices-based composite materials. The surface modifications of natural fibre also play a crucial role in improving physical and mechanical properties regarding composite materials due to improved fibre/matrix adhesion. Additionally, the present review also deals with the effect of silane-treated leaf fibre-reinforced thermoset composite, which play an important role in enhancing the mechanical and physical properties of the composites.

The present research focuses on studying the physical, mechanical, and abrasive wear behavior of the hemp/nettle natural fiber woven mat reinforced with the polyester matrix. The hemp and nettle fibers woven mats were reinforced into the polyester matrix by simple hand-layup, and after that compression molding process was used to fabricate the composites. The water absorption, tensile, flexural, and impact properties were studied using a hemp/nettle hybrid composite. This study found that increasing the amount of hemp and nettle fiber in polyester from 3 to 9 wt% increased the mechanical properties of hybrid composites. The higher weight percentage (9 wt%) of hemp/nettle fiber in polyester hybrid composites exhibited the highest tensile (42.41 MPa), flexural (78.52 MPa), impact (22.72 kJ/m 2 ) strength, and a higher hardness value of 46.7 HV. Finite element analysis simulation is conducted on mechanical
