“…These increased the interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the fiber, reducing gaps and defects in composites. [ 60 ] The 20TMAPFC had 1.80 and 1.81 times the flexural strength (64.33 MPa) and modulus (5.43 GPa) of the epoxy matrix (35.58 MPa and 3 GPa).…”

This investigation focuses on studying the properties of treated and untreated Musa acuminate peduncle fiber (MAPF)‐reinforced epoxy composites. The effect of fiber weight fraction and alkali treatment on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics of MAPF‐reinforced epoxy composites was investigated for the first time. A considerable enhancement in the tensile, impact, and flexural characteristics was observed at 20 wt% fiber; beyond 20 wt%, the properties were found to decrease. The increase in cellulose (from 66.43 to 74.22 wt%) and decrease in lignin (from 16.85 to 7.91 wt%) and hemicellulose (from 13.72 to 8.58 wt%) in alkali‐treated fiber resulted in a more crystalline structure. This led to improved tensile (tensile strength 53.61 MPa and tensile modulus 0.561 GPa), flexural (flexural strength 64.33 MPa and flexural modulus 5.43 GPa), and impact (90.33 J/m) composite properties compared to the untreated fiber composite. After tensile testing, the composite's fractured cross‐sections were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the alkali‐treated MAPF‐reinforced composite had fewer voids and improved fiber bonding. Thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy studies also revealed that alkali‐treated MAPFs area promising reinforcement for the epoxy polymer matrix.

“…Matrix pitting and crack due to plastic deformation are found in the case of unfilled composites. 1 A rotating abrasive particle is produced pitting over the worn surface, which removes the particle with weak cohesive strength. Then, the rest of the area becomes plastically deformed at a certain temperature.…”

“…The various advantageous properties of natural fibers (NFs) such as low cost, high specific strength, strength to weight ratio, superior quality, biodegradable nature, and potential to replace the conventional materials have made them the potential candidates for use as reinforcements in PMCs. [1][2][3] However, the characterization of the natural fibers decides the performance of the composites using these natural fibers as reinforcements. 4 Among all the NFs available, jute has emerged as the most promising fiber to be used as reinforcement in composite due to its better properties like tensile strength, elastic modulus and density.…”

The present work deals with three body abrasive behavior of Jute-Epoxy-Rubber crumb hybrid composites at different rubber crumb loading (0%, 5% and 10%). Three body abrasive wear tests are performed to determine the specific wear rate for different combination of proposed composites in terms of filler percentage, abrasive distance, and load. Results indicate that addition of rubber crumb as filler in the proposed composite results in enhanced resistance to abrasion. Statistical method, Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array is used to find the most influential factor affecting the abrasive behavior of the proposed composites. The outcome of the statistical approach revealed that the filler is the most influential factor influencing abrasion of the proposed composites. Experimental results are compared with the predicted results and it was found that they agree well with each other. The SEM micrographs studies reveal the dynamics of three body abrasive wear and underlying micro mechanisms that serve as determinant for wear performance of such composites.

The promising characteristic features of some natural plant fibers identified has driven many scientists/researchers to seek more plant fibers with good mechanical, thermal, tensile and surface properties. Plant fibers with such characteristics along with their renewable, degradable, eco‐friendly, cost‐effective nature could make them a probable competitor against synthetic ones, in many aspects. Since identification of novel plant fibers with superior quality is necessary at the moment in order to reduce the harmful effects of synthetic materials. Since the current study recognized a novel natural plant fiber from Echinochloa frumentacea and analyzed its efficiency for composite fabrication through various characterization practices. It was found from the physico‐chemical investigation that the fiber encloses with good crystallinity index (35.87%), cellulose content (60.31%) and relatively low density (896 ± 32.14 kg/m3). In fact, EFLF's has admirable thermal stability (330°C) and tensile strength (204.32 ± 14.25 MPa) designated its suitability for temperature varying environments. Conversely, the proposed fiber ensures good fiber‐matrix adhesion in spite of good surface roughness and decreased microfibrillar angle (9.27 ± 0.31°), noted by surface analysis. Hence, the current study recommends further utilization of EFLF as a reinforcing material with high specific qualities and low environmental effect, for composite manufacturing.
