“…All of the fibers are approximated to be 10-30mm in length width 1-1.5mm in width (Serrano et al, 2014;Subash et al, 2022). The fiber dimensions result from single fiber pull-out tests (Joseph et al, 1996).…”

Lightweight materials are being employed in aeronautical and automobile industries for high strength, lower weight, and energy consumption. Attention is needed to control pollution through the usage of harmful synthetic composites globally. In this work, coconut shell nanofillers are reinforced in the development of various palm fiber (leaf stalk, leaf sheath, leaf-spine, and fruit) composites using the hand layup technique. Mechanical and morphological effects of the addition of nano-coconut-shell-powder to the composites are addressed. The palm fibers are sandwiched within the glass fiber to improve the strength of composites. The addition of coconut shell nanoparticles in the composites improves the tensile, flexural, impact, hardness, and water absorption characteristics. SEM image observations on the composite indicate the buildup of nanomodified matrix residues around the fiber bundle. The adhesive property of the composite is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy examination, which reveals the presence of one additional alcohol/phenol OH stretch, one less alkyl CH stretch, and aromatic CH bending functional groups. The inclusion of palm fibers during the fabrication of composites facilitated the pushing of curves to higher temperatures with considerable degradation temperatures, thereby increasing thermal stability and making them suitable for thermal applications. Development of the eco-composite changes environmental impact factors aiming sustainability.

“…Several researchers have studied, in this context, the use of biomass wastes from different agricultural branches in conjunction with polymers, and they have highlighted combinations of hybrid polymer composites with the following plant fibers: bamboo (Subash et al 2022), pinecone (Şahinöz et al 2022), sugarcane bagasse (Madhoushi et al 2021), jute (Ganesh;Anand, 2022), hemp (Bhowmik et al 2022), pineapple (Dilli Babu et al 2020, banana pseudostem (Jordan and Chester 2017), coconut peel (de Araújo Veloso et al 2021), and coffee wastes (García-García et al 2015), with the primary objective of improving the biodegradability and chemical and mechanical properties of the composite material (Brenken et al 2019;Peças et al 2018).…”

The objective of this study is to evaluate the characteristics of polymeric composites containing different levels of addition of bean residue. To this end, agricultural residues were first reduced to particles and characterized "in natura" through tests for moisture content, bulk density, content of extractives, lignin and ash and by thermogravimetry technique. Then, the particles were dried and selected based on their granulometric fractions to make low-density polyethylene (LDPE) composites with addition levels of 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% bean residues. The polymeric material and the bean waste particles were hot-extruded to obtain strands and then pellets; the resulting materials were then molded and hot-pressed. After fabrication, the specimens were subjected to physical testing for humidity, density, water absorption, and flammability and to mechanical testing for tensile strength. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) also was performed. The results showed that the lignocellulosic material had decreased density and mechanical properties and increased water absorption properties after 24 h of immersion, and the moisture content in the samples increased as a function of bean waste substitution level in the polymer composite materials. These results may be related to the intrinsic chemical characteristics demonstrated by this material in the physicochemical characterization: low density and low contents of holocellulose, lignin and extractives. The mechanical properties were also influenced by the pores created by the bean particles, which may have contributed to the creation of larger zones of weakness in the samples.

“…The results of the application of natural fibers in aerospace are still emerging [ [17] , [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] ]. The use of biocomposites helps to reduce aircraft weight, which in turn saves fuel and is therefore more respectful of the environment [ 23 ]. A study by Tsai et al on the Boeing 747-400 and Airbus A330-300, showed that, reducing 1 kg of weight reduces carbon emissions by 0.94 kg on the Boeing 747-400 and 0.475 kg on the Airbus A330-300.…”
