“…The order of flammability characteristics are C-2, C-4, C-3 and C-1 composites. Among the manufactured composites, the composite C-1 was more resistant to flammability due to the presence of more amount of moisture content in the composite [ 22 , 23 ].…”

Nonbiodegradable polymers constitute major pollution and their usage cannot be ignored due to their properties. Hybrid polymer composite research has increased in recent times due to improved characteristics and biodegradable nature. The effect of different stacking sequences containing pineapple/banana/basalt fiber has been studied in the present work to reduce the usage of synthetic fibers without compromising on properties. Hybrid composites were manufactured using the hand layup method and were assessed for mechanical and morphological characteristics. The results showed that several properties improved by keeping the pineapple layer in the skin layer. The adhesion between the matrix and the fiber played a vital role in determining the properties of the composites manufactured. Morphological studies have concluded that the proper bonding between the matrix and the fiber has enhanced several properties.

“…[31] The effect of stacking sequence of areca-pineapple based epoxy composites on mechanical, water absorption, and morphological properties developed by hand layup method was studied and it showed that three-layered pineapple and areca fiber composites showed better performance and can be utilized for medium load applications. [32] Areca/sisal/Carbon-reinforced epoxy composites were developed with various stacking sequences which were evaluated for mechanical and morphological properties showing that the better property of the composites would lead to some railway interior applications. [33] The effect of areca fiber percentage on mechanical and biodegradability of the polypropylene composites was studied with 3%-9% of the fibers.…”

The use of renewable resources to reduce environmental effects can provide a long-term platform. The natural fiber is an excellent renewable resource for developing lightweight composite materials. The present work is the development of hybrid areca/carbon/basalt reinforced epoxy/bio epoxy composites and the investigation of their mechanical, thermal, and water absorption behavior. Four layered areca-carbon, areca-basalt, and areca fiber reinforced epoxy/bio epoxy composites were fabricated with three different varying stacking sequences with epoxy and bio epoxy composites with a hand layup method. The Mechanical properties like tensile, flexural, and impact behavior were evaluated and compared between the synthetic and bio epoxy resin. Also, the thermal, water absorption, and morphological studies of all composites were studied, and results showed that out of all the composites the carbonareca fiber reinforced composites showed better mechanical properties and SEM analysis exemplified the better bonding between areca, carbon, and basalt fabrics. The prepared laminates can be used for developing some commercial medium-load structural applications.

“…[ 14 ] There are several other works reported on hybridization of the areca fibers with other natural fibers; four different types of stacking sequence‐based epoxy composites were developed with Areca‐Pineapple epoxy composites. [ 15 ] The hybridization effects of different laminate stacking sequences involving areca sheath fiber/jute fiber/glass‐woven fabric were investigated by examining the mechanical properties of four different resulting composites. [ 8 ] Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) composites reinforced with areca sheath and Moringa oleifera fruit fibers were produced using injection molding.…”

The recent developments and technological advancement in material science focus on the utilization of biodegradable material in various engineering applications. The increase in concern for the damages happening by synthetic materials has made the researchers develop novel materials that can reduce the use of synthetic materials to minimize the environmental problem and societal anxiety. In this work, the four‐layered areca/carbon/kevlar/carbon–kevlar hybrid fiber‐reinforced epoxy laminates were prepared by using hand layup technique for seven different stacking sequence. The prepared laminates were evaluated for mechanical, thermal, and water absorption behavior to study the hybridization effect on the properties of the composites. The result indicated that areca/carbon composites had better mechanical properties than areca/kevlar, areca/carbon–kevlar hybrid laminates. Hybridization of areca fiber with synthetic fibers had significant effect on the mechanical properties of the composites. The water absorption behavior and thermal property of the laminates improved with addition of synthetic fibers to areca fiber. Morphological analysis showed strong bonding with fibers and reinforcements, with fewer voids. Therefore, the developed areca/synthetic fiber hybrid composites can be used for semi‐structural engineering applications.
