“…Cellulosic fibers such as jute and kelp are more suitable for soft natural mortars such as lime, but coconut fiber, which is rich in lignin is more suitable for cement mortar [16]. The addition of Indian mellow fiber and roselle fiber mat in a polymer matrix with saw dust as fillers resulted in the fabrication of automobile rear view mirrors, fan blades, and auto wheel hubs [17]. Coconut fiber reinforced concrete along with coconut rope in the column has better seismic performance and results in the development of low cost housing in seismic zones [18].…”

To improve the pre-cracking behavior and post peak strength of concrete composites, a new variety of natural fiber called Fish Tail Palm Fibers was used as micro reinforcement in concrete. Fish Tail Palm Fibers (FTPF) are completely renewable natural resources and are available in abundance, in many parts of the country including India. Three different volume fractions, (0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3%, and three different lengths of fibers (10 mm, 20 mm and 30 mm) were chosen as the parameters for investigation. Silane treated FTPF was added to concrete and the fresh and mechanical properties were studied. The slump values were slightly affected by the increase in volume fraction of fibers, as the viscosity of concrete increases with fiber content. The compressive strength of the control specimen was 30 MPa (M30). The maximum compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength of Fish Tail Palm Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FTPFRC) specimens are 36 MPa, 2.82 MPa and 4.2 MPa respectively, which were recorded for specimens with 0.2 Volume Fraction (VF) and 30 mm Fiber Length (FL). The increase in the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexure strength is about 20 %, 22% and 30 % with the addition of 0.2 VF of fibers. The findings indicate that the incorporation of fish tail palm fibers reduced the work-ability of concrete. But the mechanical characteristics such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact resistance were enhanced with the increase in fiber content and fiber length.

Natural fibres find their way into many engineering applications in the automobile and aerospace sectors owing to their eco-friendly nature. Natural fiber produced from agricultural residue, is capable of enhancing the mechanical and thermal properties of composite materials while lowering their overall cost. The main aim of the current study is to investigate such natural fiber, nonwoven fabric reinforced composites. In this work, samples reinforced by non-woven Abutilon indicum (AI) fibre are manufactured with varying fibre weight percentages, such as 20 %, 25 %, 30 %, 35 %, 40%, using the hand layup method and needle-punching process to make the fabric and composite. Mechanical tests such as tensile, flexural, and compressive tests were using a universal testing machine, and impact tests were performed using an izod impact tester, in addition to morphological and thermal studies were performed on the above composites and their respect compositions. The effect of the fibres on FTIR and TGA was also investigated. In order to understand the bonding behaviors and the fractured composite specimens were examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The findings revealed that the highest values of tensile and flexural strength were observed to be 39.796 MPa and 62.329 MPa at 35 wt. % fibre and maximum impact strength and compressive strength were 0.441 joules and 47.45 Mpa at 35 wt. % fibre.

“…This suggests that natural fiber composites can be an alternative to replace fiber glass composites in many applications that do not require very high loading. Many authors [12][13][14][15][16] have reported the mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced composites. The results obtained show that the mechanical properties in bending and static tension undergo a significant improvement by adding different percentages of natural fibers.…”

In recent years, the use of natural fiber composites to provide a possible replacement for synthetic fiber composites for practical applications has been the subject of several studies. This study deals with the fabrication and investigation of jute-polyester composites and the comparison of it with glass-polyester composites. The static mechanical properties of the composites is obtained by testing the composite lamina for tensile and ﬂexural strength. The dynamic mechanical properties of the composites is determined by using the Charpy impact test. By the Williams method based on the principle of linear elastic fracture mechanics, the impact toughness of the composites is deduced. The experimental results were statistically analyzed by using the Weibull theory to better understand the impact behavior of the composites. It is found that the glass-polyester composite has better properties than the jute-polyester composite.
