“…The seeds were removed after cutting open the sponge. According to Satyanarayana et al [13] and Tanobe et al [14], the density of luffa cylindrical is approximately 0.82 to 0.92 g/ cm 3 . The chemical composition of luffa skeleton may slightly differ depending on the quality of soil in which it was grown, climatic conditions to which it was exposed, and some additional biological factors.…”

“…Compared to synthetic fibers, natural fibers are cheaper, environmentally friendly, easier to handle, cause less tool wear, possess lower density, and have comparable mechanical strengths. Therefore, natural fiber-reinforced composites are superior to synthetic fiber-reinforced composites when viewed from engineering, health, environmental, and economic or business perspectives [1][2][3]. Additionally, researchers have found that 45% less energy is required in order to incinerate components with natural fibers and they also emit lower amount of air pollutants [4].…”

This study reports on the effects of cyclic hot and cold water absorption on the dielectric properties of luffa–polylactide composites and their potential application as a quadratic mallet finger splint. The study was conducted for dry samples varying in fiber volume percentage from 0% to 20% with increments of 5%. The 15 vol% luffa–polylactide composites were subjected to the cyclic hot and cold water absorption. The changes in the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, and loss factor were measured in the 100 Hz to 1 MHz range. It was found that the higher the number of water cycles, lower the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, and loss factor. Cyclic hot water absorption showed a more significant effect on the dielectric properties than the cyclic cold water absorption. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Carbon nanotube integrated textile structural composites are one of the demanded materials especially for space/aerospace and defense industries in the 21st century due to their better damage tolerance properties compared to the metal and ceramics. This review paper exclusively performed on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) added carbon fiber/epoxy multiscale composites, including recent innovative methods of integrating CNTs to carbon filaments using the direct method such as growing on fiber, chemical grafting, and nanostitching or indirect methods such as mixing with matrix and application via lay-up and dip coating. In addition, various composite fabrication techniques, including vacuum bag molding, resin transfer molding, and resin film infusion molding techniques were discussed. Critical thermo-mechanical and electrical properties considering numerous micromechanics based composite modeling and computational analysis were explained. The review concludes that CNTs added carbon fiber/epoxy multiscale composites possess considerable potential in the use of advanced nanocomposites applications.

“…Low density and high specific properties make natural fibre a good candidate as reinforcement in thermoplastic and thermoset polymer composites. The properties, composition, structures and features of natural fibre are suitable to be incorporated in polymer composites as either reinforcements or fillers [1], [2]. Due to this, the reinforcement of natural fibres into composite material has been conducted by many researches up to date [3]- [8].…”

 Abstract: This research investigates the relationship between flexural and compressive properties of kenaf/epoxy composite filled with mesoporous silica, through regression analysis. EpoxAmite® 100 Epoxy and 103 Hardener were used as matrix, modified by constant volume of silicon, different percentage of mesoporous silica, and reinforced with constant volume of kenaf mat. Three pointer bend fixture and compression test were conducted and the data were used for regression analysis. Flexural test revealed that inclusion of 5vol% mesoporous silica and 3vol% silicon into 7.2Vol% K/Ep resulted in the highest flexural strength, while the highest flexural modulus is achieved at 3vol% SiaK/Ep. Compressive strength and compressive modulus are both the highest at 1vol% SiaK/Ep-Si. Good correlations were established when kenaf is used as single independent variable to predict compressive modulus of the composites produced. On the other hand, poor correlation is obtained when silicon and mesoporous silica are used as the two independent variables in predicting flexural strength, flexural modulus, compressive strength and compressive modulus. When kenaf is included as the third independent variable (together with silicon and mesoporous silica) in predicting the four results, correlation is found to improve tremendously. However, all four multivariate regression relationships established between flexural and compressive data resultsin an average value ranging from 0.5 to 0.6.
