“…There have been attempts to explore the use of fibers as fillers, the use of jute, hemp, sisal and kapok (among others) as the range of waste products examined and the use of the amount of water uptake and Fickian models as major parameters for water absorption evaluation. A large array of investigators on composites seem to have utilized fibers as the filler material such as hemp [21], recycled cellulose [22], sugar palm [23], jute fiber and with combinations of other fillers [20,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30], banana [31], cotton [32], oil palm empty fruit branch [33], Pennisetum purpureum [34], wood [35], flax [36], sisal [37], wood-plastic [38], glass fiber [39] and aluminium particles [40].…”

The diffusion parameters of orange peel epoxy composites are important elements in composite structure in that they explain how fast water and other fluids can diffuse through the composites as a sign of integrity test. In this article, we defined the optimal parametric settings for diffusivity parameters of orange peel epoxy composites. The Taguchi optimisation method used obtained an optimal parametric setting of P4Q4R1 in experiments conducted for three and seven days, respectively. The analysis of variance revealed significant contributions made by the initial and final weights, while the thickness parameter was found to be less significant. A variant of the Taguchi method called Taguchi-Pareto was introduced, which also underscores the thickness parameter as not economical to optimality. The specifications and dimensions obtained by Taguchi method or its variant may be useful design engineers when contemplating on how to reduce diffusivity and water uptake of composites.

Composites are defined as mixture of two or more ingredients where one is called as matrix (larger in quantity) and other is called reinforcement (smaller in quantity). Now a days research is concentrated towards various methods of making biodegradable composites where either reinforcement or matrix are biodegradable or both are biodegradable. Composites have so many applications in industrial as well as commercial use due to their low weight to strength ratio that attracted the automobile manufacturers to use these materials in cars which in turn increases the efficiency as well as reduce the cost of the automobile. In this paper effort has been made to investigate various process of manufacturing composites manufactured from banana fibers using different matrix preferably PLA (Polylactic Acid). The methods of improving the bonding between the reinforcement and matrix, effect of fiber orientation, size of the fibers and percentage reinforcement has been studied.

“…Gosh et al [24] treated its banana fibers with 5% of NaOH and dried the banana fiber mat in 80ºC for 24 hours, the same method used by Meon. The matrix material used for his experiment is Bisphenol Epoxy based and Vinyl Ester, fabricated using hand lay-up technique and the tensile properties is 122 MPa.…”

“…It is well known that alkaline treatment is to clean the fiber surface off its impurities, modifies the surface structure and increase the fiber surface area. The moisture absorption by the fiber composites and its detrimental effect on the mechanical properties are a prime concern especially when these are used in marine application [24].…”

Abstract. Natural fibers, characterized by sustainability, have gained a considerable attention in recent years, due to their advantages of environmental acceptability and commercial viability. In this paper, the characterization of natural fibers including the mechanical properties and alkalization of fibers is presented. Most recent study had gone through the mercerization process to improve the toughness of natural fibers; which is a well-known hydrophilic material. Traditional reinforcement method was commonly used to fabricate a natural fiber composite such as hand lay-up and mold press due to its convenience in terms of time and cost. Also, different kind of matrix material used in different kind of natural fibers gave high impact on the tensile and flexural test result. By selecting appropriate chemical treatment, matrix material and fabrication method, the tensile and flexural test gives different results and findings. As most researchers tend to use metals to create corrugated cores for sandwich structure, it is possible to develop this structure using natural fibers such as kenaf, wood dust, and other natural fibers.
