The present study explores the potential of alkali-treated Furcraea foetida (FF) fibers as reinforcement materials in polymeric composites. were treated and soaked for 3 h an alkali solution different concentrations (3, 6, 9, 12, 15 wt.%). untreated characterized, their physical mechanical properties determined. results revealed that 9 wt.% FF fiber yielded superior strength Young's modulus because its relatively high cellulose fraction after removing non-cellulosic materials. twisting...
Replacing synthetic fibres with natural as reinforcement fillers in rubber (NR) tends to yield eco-friendly bio-composites. This study investigated the tensile and hardness properties, thermal behaviour of pineapple leaf fibre (PALF)-reinforced NR composites without addition multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The content was varied at 0, 10, 20, 30 parts per hundred (phr) MWCNT fixed 10 phr. surface morphology tensile-fractured specimens examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...
Nanoparticles are widely used in biocomposite materials due to their ability improve the mechanical properties of composites. This comprehensive review analyzes use nanoparticles enhance experimental low and high-velocity impact resistance natural fiber Various like carbon nanofibers, nanotubes, boron nitride, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide were investigated as reinforcements at different loading levels. The addition nano-ZrO 2 alone or with graphene oxide yielded highest interlaminar shear...
This study explores the impact of nanofillers on wear and frictional characteristics Cellulosic fibre-reinforced composites. With increasing demand for lightweight durable materials in various industries, understanding effects composite performance is crucial. In this research, pin-on-disc trials were conducted under applied loads ranging from 80 N to 140 N, maintaining a constant 50% fibre volume fraction, sliding distance 3000 m, velocity 1 m/s. The incorporation 5 phr graphite powder was...
