“…The filler material used, referred to as ISA, has a particle size ranging from 50 to and crystallographic structure of the ISA sample were examined using an X'Pert-Pro diffractometer. The analysis revealed that the major components of the ISA used in this study are approximately 50-60 wt.% of CaCO3, 15-20 wt.% of SiO2, 5-10 wt.% of (Gr + Na2O), 5-10 wt.% of Al2O3, Fe2O3 and TiO2 each [23]. The hybrid composites are produced via the in-house hand lay-up method using a cast iron mold measuring 265mm×265mm×5mm.…”

“…In this context, the Human hair fiber (HHF) is a promising natural material for composites due to its unique properties such as high aspect ratio, non-toxic, non-allergenic, and biocompatible along with the requisite properties like high strength, stiffness, toughness (due to the presence of disulphide bonds), dielectric and good thermal as well as acoustic insulation properties [21], [22]. The hybridization of alkali treated plat based and animal based natural fibers also found to improve the physical, mechanical, thermal as well as acoustic insulation properties [23] along with the machinability characteristics [24]. We also note that, several fillers are used during the synthesis of hybrid NFPMCs which not only helps in reducing the organic content, weight, and cost of production, but also improves the strength, stiffness, stability of the resulting composites [2], [7].…”

The present work deals with the mechanical characteristics and deflection responses of novel partially biodegradable hybrid composites embracing an animal based (Human Hair), a plant based (Luffa Cylindrica) fiber (denoted as HHF and LCF) and Incense Stick Ash (ISA) under different loadings. Ultrasonicator assisted hand lay-up technique has been followed for the inhouse fabrication process by incorporating epoxy resin as the matrix material while varying weight ratios (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.%) of ISA filler. Firstly, the density, elastic properties through non-destructive Impulse Excitation Technique (IET), microhardness, strengths under tensile, bending and impact loading are obtained and the surface morphology of fractured surfaces is studied. The composite filled with 10 wt.% ISA shown the best overall tensile, bending and shear properties, while the highest flexural strength and microhardness is depicted by composite filled with 20 wt.% ISA. Subsequently, finite element (FE) analysis using a simulation model in ANSYS is employed to acquire the tensile and flexural strength, those are found to be comparable with the experimental values. Finally, a higher-order nonlinear FE model is developed and implemented using MATLAB programming platform to compute the static responses under different loads (point load, sinusoidally distributed line load, uniformly distributed line load, uniformly distributed load and sinusoidally distributed load) using the experimentally obtained composite material properties. The validity of the developed model has been tested by comparing the results with the data acquired through lab-scale experimentation. From the numerical illustrations, moderate ISA filled (10 wt.%) composites with higher aspect ratio and lower thickness ratio are observed to provide more significant resistance to deflection under static loading.

“…Targeted curing with radiofrequency electromagnetic fields can cure adhesives with minimal deformations and reduce residual stresses [9]. Biodegradable polymer composites reinforced with luffa cylindrical and human hair fibre as well as incense stick ash infill exhibited improved thermal and water absorption resistance as well as excellent acoustic insulations [10]. Natural fibres such as ramie fibres treated with amino silane-reinforced polymer composites containing OMMT.…”

Various peel-off experiments can be used to determine the adhesion strength of various fibres. Among them was the "T" type peel-off test, which measures the adhesions between fibres. The use of organic and inorganic fillers in flake or powder form will alter the adhesive properties of the binders as well as the adhesive strength between the fibres. In this study, the adhesion strength between three different varieties of glass fibres (C-Glass, E-Glass, and S-Glass fibres) with a PLA core has been investigated. As a binder, an epoxy resin was used, and the resin was modified with inorganic additives such as alumina, bentonite, and silicon carbide. Peel-off testing was used to examine the effect of additives on the bonding strength between a thermoplastic core and a synthetic fibre. The addition of inorganic compounds was found to reduce the adhesion strength between the fibres and the core. In order to evaluate the initial adhesion between the filaments and the core, nine specimens were fabricated without the addition of any additives and their strengths were determined. Maximum adhesion strength of 71.8 MPa was recorded for the neat resin. The adhesive strength after inclusion of additives was observed to decrease by 18.14%, and recorded maximum peel-off strength of 58.2 MPa. Also, the inclusion percentages of the additives were found to be the most influential factor in determining the composites' adhesive properties. Validation tests were also conducted with the optimized results which demonstrated that the predicted and experimental results were in excellent agreement. Macro and micro approaches were employed to analyze the deformation mechanisms in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the additives affected the adhesion strength.
