“…The reduction of the ductility of the epoxy resin by the addition of iron fillings and/or carbonized cassava back peelings is desirable in certain applications such as the fabrication of automobile bumpers where moderate ductility is desired. The use of highly ductile materials such as mild steel for automobile bumper application produces excessive deformation during crashes [35].…”

The use of natural particles as reinforcement in polymers has been a growing research area. This study aims to explore the use of cassava back peel (CCBP) and iron-fillings (IF), as reinforcement material in epoxy resin-based composite. Composite plates were prepared for the casting of the epoxy resin reinforced with CCBP and IF composites using a hand lay-up technique. The percentage compositions by weight of the CCBP varied between 0%-10 %, while that of IF was kept constant (5%). The physico-mechanical behaviours of CCBP-reinforced epoxy polymer composites were studied using ASTM standards. The density of the epoxy resin was improved by the reinforcements. The maximum density obtained was 1270 kg/cm3 for 5%CCBP epoxy composite. The percentage of water absorption improved by the addition of the filler with 5%IF10CCBP epoxy hybrid composite recording 30% water absorption. Conversely, the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and breaking strength (BS) varied with the addition of the filler materials. 5%CCBP epoxy composite recorded 41.26 MPa for both UTS and BS. Meanwhile, percentage elongation decreased with the addition of the fillers showing that the composites became less ductile. The HBN of epoxy was improved with the addition of fillers. The composites can be applied to automobile dashboards.

“…Amid growing concerns regarding safety, several standards are been employed to design and develop a softer bumper beam. [ 84 ] Material selection plays a dominant role in ensuring the safety of pedestrians. Using a hybrid model of natural or artificial fibers not only ensures the pedestrian's safety but also curtail the overall weight of the vehicle.…”

Environmental and sustainability issues coupled with increased awareness have urged researchers to focus on natural sources that can substitute several forbidden materials. Fiber‐reinforced hybrid polymeric composites have succeeded in attracting global attention toward its suitability to replace conventional materials. Hybrid fibers have recently become immensely popular with polymer composite reinforcements for various automotive parts. Hybrid composites are developed by blending natural, synthetic, or a combination of natural or synthetic fibers in a single matrix. Hybridization allows enhancements in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the composites. Hybrid composites assist in achieving an optimum combination of properties than individual fiber composites. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the properties of composite reinforcement natural fibers for the application of automobile components is presented. Recent articles on emerging fiber types are reviewed and fabrication techniques required for hybrid polymer composites are discussed. A prospective study is also presented and discussed of future trends in natural fiber applications as well as needed innovations for extending their applications.
