“…However, composite panels 2 and 3 also exhibited the thickness swelling range within composite panel 1 and 4. Furthermore, the results discussed here also agree with some previous studies for different natural fiber reinforced composites [63][64][65]. In summary, it can be concluded that successful reinforcement of CSF and CLF reinforced PF composite panels also significantly influences physical properties, depending on different densities.…”

This study investigated about the developments of insulation panels from multilayered coir long and short fiber reinforced phenol formaldehyde polymeric (PF) resin. The lengths of coir long fibers (CLF) were within 3 mm, whereas the short fibers (CSF) ranged from 0.1 mm to 1.25 mm. Four composite panels of 360, 680, 800, and 1000 kg/m3 densities were developed by employing hot pressing technology. The thermal conductivity, microstructural, mechanical, and physical properties of the composite panels were investigated. Perceived thermal conductivity values ranged within 0.046280 (0.000494) to 0.062400 (0.001146) Wm‒1 k‒1of the composites demonstrating superior insulation properties. Moreover, the current study also found that mechanical and thermal properties showed improvement with the increase of density. Low-density fiberboards had the lowest performances compared to high-density composite panels, with the exception of the 1000 kg/m3 density, in which fiber agglomeration occurred. Furthermore, all the developed composite panels display superior potentiality for use as effective insulation materials. The FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) analysis also shows an efficient bonding between the cellulosic coir materials and PF resin. The overall characteristics of the composite panels, especially medium fiberboard, show prominent potential for industrial production units by fulfilling the consumer requirements.

“…Natural fiber composites are nowadays a trending field due to its wide applications and good properties. Natural fibers are eco-friendly, inexpensive, non-toxic, and renewable and can be easily recycled [1,2]. It can be used as a replacement from mostly used synthetic fibers such as carbon and glass fibers due to its less cost, better mechanical properties, less energy consumption and biodegradability.…”

In this research, chemically synthesized titanium oxide (TiO 2) nano-powder was utilized for upgrading mechanical and vibrational applications of pineapple, banana and sisal fibers. The substitution of TiO 2 upto 3% enhanced the tensile, impact and flexural strength of pineapple/sisal, sisal/banana and banana/pineapple hybrid combinations. Irregular dispersion of nano-filler at 4% degrades the mechanical stability of bio-composites. Pineapple and sisal hybrid combinations with 3% TiO 2 filler has the highest natural frequency due to excellent surface contact with resin/hybrid natural fibers and filter/ resin interface making higher stiffness to the composites with improved natural frequency. Natural frequency and damping properties enhanced with nano-filler mixing. The factors such as frictional properties and energy dissipation at maximum strain area in the filler make increment in the damping nature of the natural composites. In the equal fiber weight% of 35, pineapple-based hybrid composites make better damping rate by the higher interface thickness and smaller diameter of pineapple fiber than other two fibers.

“…There are different methods to improve the mechanical properties of NFRCs, such as surface modification, blending, compatibilization, addition of nanoparticles and hybridization (i.e., combination of two or more different types of natural or synthetic fibers in one matrix) [14]. The effects of hybridization on the mechanical properties of NFRCs were studied in the literature [15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. For instance, Cavalcanti et al [15] investigated the effect of hybridization and fibers treatment on the mechanical properties of intralaminar hybrid epoxy composites based on jute.…”

The main objective of this work was to investigate the effect of intralaminar hybridization on the mode I fracture toughness of epoxy composites based on jute and sisal fabrics. Four types of composites were produced by the hand layup technique: sisal (S), sisal + curauá (S + C), jute (J) and jute + curauá (J + C). Double cantilever beam (DCB) tests were performed, and the modified beam theory (MBT) method and three different data criteria (i.e. the deviation from linearity (NL), the 5% offset/maximum load (5%/Max) and visual observation (VIS)) were used to evaluate the mode I fracture toughness (G Ic). It was found that the G Ic of S + C and J + C composites increased by hybridization of pure sisal and jute fabrics and that the intralaminar hybridization limited the crack propagation. An X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) equipment was used to visualize the delamination and the form of the front of cracks inside the hybrid composites.
