The present investigation is focused on evaluation and optimization of flexural behaviors of bio-particulates impregnated coir-vinyl ester composites. The bioparticulates such as termite mound soil, groundnut and rice husk were selected and the composite fabrications were planned as per Design of Experiments with the different levels of fiber length, fiber content, and particulate content. The flexural strength of fabricated composites was evaluated as per ASTM D 790-10. The fractography study was carried out on tested specimens using Scanning Electron Micrographs. The nonlinear regression models were developed for the prediction of flexural behaviors over the specified range of conditions. The fabrication parameters for the better value of flexural behaviors were determined using particle swarm and simulated annealing algorithms. The optimum conditions are further refined and validated experimentally using intuitive search algorithm. It was confirmed that the termite mound soil, ground nut and rice husk impregnated coir-vinyl ester composites exhibited better value of flexural strengths of 33.5 MPa, 36 MPa, and 38.4 MPa, respectively.

Present day's global issues focus on solutions to global warming using environment-friendly biodegradable materials as an alternate to reduce the depletion rate of fossil materials. As the research literature encourages alternate materials for plastics, in composite material formation, this work envisages the use of Calotropis gigantea (CG) fiber as a reinforcement material. CG fiber is chosen in this work, as it is abundantly available in India and does not carry any great vegetation value. Using compression molding, samples of different fiber lengths (25, 50, 75, 100, 125,and 150 mm) with different fiber weight proportions (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) were made and subjected to tensile, fractural and impact tests. The composite with the blend of fiber length 100 mm and fiber weight proportion 40% recorded the highest value than the other combinations. Further, results show that, the mechanical properties of CG fiber are comparable with the other natural fiber alternatives experimented and reported earlier in the research literature. Morphology study of the broken surface of the specimens using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows the nature of the fiber breakage. The overall results disclose that the CG fiber can be a potential reinforcing material in polymer composites, making it suitable for manufacturing automobile interior, exterior accessories, and domestic appliances.

“…The impregnation of filler in natural fiber reinforced polymer composites has shown better improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites. [7][8]. Keeping this fact in mind, this investigation aimed at improving the tensile and flexural strength of the composites by means of impregnating chitosan filler in the coir fiber reinforced polyester composites.…”

The influence of chitosan impregnation on the tensile and flexural strength of the short coir fiber reinforced polyester composites were studied in this investigation. The chitosan fillers were dispersed in polyester matrix, and laminates were prepared by reinforcing coir fibers in chitosan –polyester matrix. The composites were fabricated by varying filler content, fiber content and fiber length in three levels and their influence on tensile and flexural strength of the composites were studied. The composites with fiber length 30 mm, filler content 4% and fiber content 25% showed better values tensile (23 MPa) and at the same time the flexural strength (28MPa) of the composite was observed to be better with fiber length 30 mm, filler content 4 % and fiber content 25%.
