“…The kenaf fibers water absorption behavior was decreased with increasing stearic acid concentration due to hydrophobic nature of kenaf fibers after treatment. [ 192,193 ] The coconut coir fiber was treated with stearic acids, which were mixed with 1% ethyl alcohol. The fibers are dipped in the solution and then dried at 60°C for 24 h duration.…”

In recent days, natural fiber reinforced polymer composite is more popular due to its extensive properties suitable for various potential applications. The attention towards natural fibers is because of low cost, biodegradable, recyclability, nonabrasive, combustible, lightweight, and nontoxic properties. However, there is a need for furthermore fundamental knowledge for the raw materials processing and fabrication of composite structures, which is still challenging in current days. Natural fiber sources exist all over the world, which is obtained from animals, plants and minerals. The quality of the natural fibers depends on the extraction methods and different processing techniques. These natural fibers surface characteristics could be enhanced by selecting suitable surface treatment and chemical treatment. These fiber treatments reduce the water intake percentage, improve the adhesive nature, and enhance the overall performance of resulting polymer composites. Among all the chemical treatments, alkaline treatment (NaOH) is the most preferred chemical treatment because of its effectiveness and its low cost. This review article proposes the natural fibers detailed classification, composition, structure, properties, and extraction methods, chemical and surface treatments. We also summarize the previous research work findings on the fibers treatment, properties of natural/natural hybrid polymer composites and natural/synthetic hybrid polymer composites with applications.

“…11 Chemically treated unsaturated polyester/kenaf fibre composite with different proportions is found to have an increment of mechanical properties than untreated, and it is also evident that a higher concentration of chemical treatment affects the fibre. 12 Alkali and silane treatment shows a negligible amount of improvement and does not have any significant effect on mechanical properties. 13 With detailed analysis, it is observed that totally, the stresses are in permissible restrictions with a good factor of safety.…”

Reducing weight and stabilizing or upgrading the strength is more important. Automotive and related industries are making a progress to replace the conventional steel leaf spring to composites material made from glass fibre, natural fibres, and so on. In this study, woven E-glass fibre, woven sisal and hybridization of woven glass and sisal fibre have been selected as materials. The resin used in this study is epoxy (B-11(3101)) VHV and the hardener is (K-6(5205)). The mono leaf spring is fabricated using hand lay-up process, which tends to be simple and cost effective. The existing dimensions of a conventional Tata Ace leaf spring are selected for modelling and analysis. Stress and deflection is tested experimentally by flexural testing. The hardness of the composites is determined with the help of Rockwell and Brinell hardness testing machine and the values are correlated with each other. Leaf spring is modeled in CREO Parametric 2.0 and introduced in ANSYS 14.5 for the numerical analysis. The results suggest that the composites have reduced weight up to 75% in comparison with the conventional one. With reduced component weight and better performance achieved by composite material, the replacement of conventional material with that of the composite is efficient. The efficiency of a vehicle will improve with a reduced component cost when composite leaf spring is used.
