The manufacturing sector is presently in search of sustainable materials that are lighter in weight, readily available, biodegradable, and cost-friendly. Natural fibers are observed to bring unblemished advancement in composite materials. In this research, a novel hybrid composite material has been analyzed. The composite comprises two different natural fibers, kenaf and coir fiber, reinforced in epoxy matrix with nanofillers of calcium carbonate particles. The weight percent of kenaf and coir fibers is maintained at 5.7% and 10%, whereas nanofillers is varied as 0%, 2%, and 4%, respectively, in all three samples. The elastic characteristics like the Longitudinal Modulus, and Transverse Modulus, are evaluated for the proposed composite utilizing five different analytical models, and are also interpreted using Representative Volume Element (RVE) analysis. The analytical results of the proposed composite are correlated with the experimental work in the earlier research. The influence of nanofiller is investigated and it has been observed that the composite with a higher filler content of 4 percent attains enhanced strength than a sample with a lower filler content of 0 and 2 wt. percent. The transverse modulus is noticed to uplift by 16.88%, and the longitudinal modulus by 11.14% on the mixing of CaCO3 particles in coir kenaf composite. Also, the composite is analyzed for hybridization effect, which proves to be one of the most promising ways to improve the features of the hybrid composite

“…A natural fibre reinforced composite mainly inculcates within it a matrix of polymer implanted along with natural filaments of high strength, for example, rice husk, sisal, wood dust, kenaf, cellulose, starch, coconut, areca, banana, and coir (Ku et al, 2011;Kumar et al, 2014). These attributes of natural fibres are encouraging the researchers to traverse the field of fibre composites, green production and sustainability (Aliha et al, 2018;Gupta et al, 2022;Geethammaa et al, 2005;Parashar & Chawla, 2021Saxena & Chawla, 2021Sadik et al, 2020, Kumar et al, 2020. Additionally, the FRC material can be used in the form of fillers for the creation of polymeric composites because of their easy availability around the year (Zhao et al, 2008;Adeniyi et al, 2019Adeniyi et al, , 2021.…”

The increasing demand for good and improved polymeric composites has led to a surge in the number of researches on hybrid composites, strengthened and enforced with the natural fibres. This paper mainly analyses and presents the attributes of hybrid composites made from natural fibres and carbon nano-tube (CNT) nanoparticles. A novel hybrid composite considered in this research includes kenaf and coir fibres with CNT nanoparticles embedded in an epoxy matrix. The proposed hybrid nanocomposite’s elastic features are calculated by using different analytical models like Chamis, Mori-Tanaka, Nielson elastic models etc and also with the help of Representative Volume Element Analysis (RVE). The content of fibre volume is varied in four different samples and it is found that upon varying the content of fibre volume, the mechanical properties like longitudinal modulus and transverse modulus got affected. The results evaluated from different analytical models are observed to be in good agreement with each other and also with the results of RVE analysis.

The Exponential model is introduced to predict the modulus of particulate or short‐fiber reinforced composites. The model allows the prediction of Young's modulus, bending modulus, shear modulus, and bulk modulus in a series of composites from a single experimental point. Subsequently, a modification of the widely used Chamis model is introduced, also allowing the prediction of particulate composite moduli from a single experimental point. The predictions of each model are compared with original experimental data derived from tension tests on sustainable and bio‐based composites, covering common cases of thermosets and thermoplastics, as well as different chemical treatments and sizes of the reinforcing materials, and are plotted against the predictions of the rule of mixtures, the inverse rule of mixtures and the Chamis model. Two different matrices (PLA and Ecopoxy) and six different reinforcements (chemically treated and untreated Luffa cylindrica short fibers, acetylated and untreated cotton flocks, and olive pits of 1–5 μm or 50–150 μm diameter) are used. The comparisons show that both the proposed models are capable of achieving much higher prediction accuracy (2.28–59.51 times less root mean square error) than the three models already in use, and easily adapting to the matrix and/or reinforcement changes.
