Paper is one of the products that are used for many purposes. In line with this, increasing demand for paper was leading to rapid environment destruction. The present environmental issue can resolve by using non-timber resources for making paper. This study aims to produce quality paper out of corn husks and snake plant fibers. It also seeks to determine the qualities of produced paper through laboratory experiment and sensory evaluation. Experimental design was utilized in developing paper. The results revealed that for the basis weight, pure corn husks obtained the closest standard measurement. For the thickness, pure snake plant fibers, 75% corn husks and 25% snake plant fibers, 50% corn husks and 50% snake plant fibers, and 25% corn husks and 75% snake plant fibers followed the standard measurement. For the burst index, 25% corn husks and 75% snake plant fibers obtained the closest standard measurement. On the other hand, for the tensile index, all treatments followed the standard measurement and for the folding endurance, all of the treatments except 50% corn husk and 50% snake plant fibers were also followed the standard measurement. Based on the sensory evaluation, the study revealed that 75% corn husks and 25% snake plant fibers was the most acceptable among all the treatments. The color of the paper is significantly different with each other as evaluated by the three categories of respondents. The level of acceptability of corn husks and snake plant fibers as raw materials for making paper is significantly different regarding texture, color, and thickness.

“…More specifically, some studies have shown that the mechanical properties of flax, hemp, jute, and sisal fibers can compete with those of glass fibers (Gurunathan et al, 2015). Other research has shown that tensile and modulus properties tend to increase with increasing fiber volume fractions (Sankar et al, 2014). Although glass fiber is the primary reinforcement material used in composites for automotive applications, biocomposites have shown good potential for future development.…”

The increasing demand for vehicles is resulting in environmental problems, such as a higher demand for fossil fuels and higher CO2 emissions. Lightweight materials, such as fiberreinforced polymers, have been used in automotive components to reduce the weight, fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions of vehicles. Natural fibers are often used as substitutes for glass fibers because they are abundant and require less energy to produce compared to glass fibers. The present research focused on the preparation and characterization of composites reinforced with Sansevieria trifasciata fiber (STF). High-impact polypropylene (HIPP) and vinyl ester (VE) were chosen and compared as matrix materials. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the produced biocomposites increased with increasing amounts of fiber, alkaline treatment, and unidirectional fiber orientation. A tensile strength of 59.77 MPa and a stiffness of 1.97 GPa were obtained for STF/HIPP composites with unidirectional alkali treatment and a 15% volume fraction of fiber. Moreover, a tensile strength of 121.1 MPa and a stiffness of 7.65 GPa were obtained for STF/VE composites with unidirectional alkali treatment and a 15% volume fraction of fiber. The STF/VE biocomposites were comparable to commercial glass fiber composites for automotive applications and even exhibited greater tensile strength properties.

“…The density, maximum peak temperature and tensile strength, young’s modulus and elongation were calculated and compared with other natural fibers. Fiber length was a major factor to decide the tensile properties of Sanevieria trifasciata fiber composites which was studied and reported in Sankar et al (2014). In this study, 10 mm length of fiber gave high tensile strength but it was reversed in the case of elongation at break.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to fabricate and compare the mechanical and thermal properties of Sansevieria and Kaans fiber reinforced polyester matrices composites. Design/methodology/approach Treated Sansevieria and Kaans fiber was used as reinforcement for the fabrication of polymer matrix composites. Kaans fiber, which was available plenty in the delta region, but physical and mechanical properties of Kaans fiber were low when it compared with Sansevieria fiber. To make use of Kaans fiber for the fabrication of composite, the physical and mechanical properties have to be enhanced. So Egg shell powder was selected as a filler material to enhance the Kaans fiber reinforced composite. The selected fibers were properly weaved after alkali treatment. A three-layered (0°/45°/0°) Sansevieria fiber reinforced polymer (S-FRP) and Kaans fiber reinforced polymer (K-FRP) composite plates were fabricated using the compression molding method. As per American Society for Testing and Materials standards, the specimens were cut and mechanical, thermal and absorption properties of Sansevieria and Kaans fiber composites were investigated experimentally. Findings Tensile and flexural test reveals that K-FRP composite has good ductility and bending property than S-FRP composite plate. But from the other test results, S-FRP possesses high elongation capability than K-FRP. Thermo gravimetric analysis, moisture absorption and swelling test too done which clearly appeared S-FRP composite plate has prevalent execution than K-FRP composite plate. Originality/value This original research study enlists the mechanical, thermal properties and absorption properties of fabricated S-FRP and K-FRP composite plates.
