“…The cellulose and hemicellulose constituents are analogous to Mishra and Sinha's findings 41 . The cellulose and ash compositions are consistent with results from the previous study by Sharma et al, 43 although the hemicellulose constituent is significantly lower than that of other researchers' reports 50 . According to Kholif et al, 2018, 61 the percentage of cellulose and hemicellulose were 4.63 and 5.69 wt%.…”

Investigators increased interest in composites with novel natural fibers beholds significant progress globally over the past decade. Moringa oleifera seed filler is among the few newly known novel fiber‐rich in cellulose and meagrely used in commercial industries. This research article used a broad characterization of 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine 1‐oxyl (TEMPO)‐modified Moringa oleifera cellulosic nanoreinforcement/epoxy composites to verify its potential as a feasible substitute for synthetic fibers in polymer composites. Composites were fabricated at a fixed filler size of 300–500 nm with a loading of 15 wt% untreated and alkali‐treated composites through the two processes: hand lay‐up followed by autoclave curing. The properties, such as, static and dynamic mechanical properties and thermal stability, have been studied for untreated and treated composites. Composites with 5 wt% alkali treatment TEMPO‐modified nano‐cellulosic filler (TMCF) loading possesses superior water resistance, interfacial surface chemistry, and mechanical property compared to autoclaved epoxy and the untreated composite. Four isoconversional methods, Friedman, Coats‐Redfern, Broido, and Kissinger, were utilized to investigate the degradation behavior and kinetic parameters like activation energy of composites. Composites that have been 5 wt% mercerized exhibit greater thermal resilience and activation energy of 250 kJ/mol, which is 20% greater than the untreated sample. This study validates the 5 wt% alkali treated TMCF as a novel sustainable and bio‐reinforcement in polymer composite for semi‐structural applications.

“…The bleached pulp had an average fiber length of 1.21 mm, which could be termed better than that of eucalyptus and wheat straw. The mechanical strength properties of the sample paper made of unbleached and bleached pulps, such as tear, tensile and burst indices, were also determined to show their good suitability for pulp and paper production (Sharma et al, 2021).…”

The aim of this research paper is to find suitability of wood chips of Moringa Oleifera tree for paper and packaging materials as this plant is cultivated in large area of India and many other tropical and sub-tropical areas for its products like drum stick, leaves and seeds. Again, the tree is trimmed every year for better quality of its products. But the tree branches cut are mostly used as fuel material, so this biomass can be better utilized in production of natural cellulosic fibers having good fiber length and used in paper and packaging materials production. The study assessed the fiber characteristics of Moringa oleifera branches for pulp and paper production. Samples are collected from Moringa oleifera trees grown in nearby areas of Sangrur, Punjab. Moringa Oleifera has potential for the Paper Making as it has good fiber length, fiber length to diameter ratio, flexibility and very low percentage of ash. This is supported by relevant analysis of raw material along with several with testing of paper hand sheet samples prepared in paper technology lab. The plant has several medicinal, antibacterial, antioxidant properties, which can be further explored for making specialty paper and packaging materials. This beneficiation of the moringa tree biomass will increase the income of farmers and provide a new potential fibrous raw material for pulp and paper industries which is facing scarcity of good fiber length lignocellulosic raw materials.

“…Moringa oleifera plant is a tree in the Moringaceae family that thrives in tropical and subtropical climates and is quick to grow, adaptable, and well known as drought-resistant. [16,17] It is a versatile tree where almost all parts of the tree can be used for various purposes, among which are food, medicine, fertilizer, honey cleanser, pulp, pollution control, and reinforcement for composite materials, among its application areas. Leprosy and epilepsy treatments also possible using moringa leaves.…”

Investigation of tensile and flexural properties of habesha moringa‐bamboo fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composite

In the present investigation, moringa oleifera and bamboo fibers extracted from Ethiopia are studied to understand their mechanical properties. Three types of woven composites namely moringa/epoxy, bamboo/epoxy and moringa/bamboo/epoxy (hybrid) are fabricated by maintaining 60 vol% fiber content. Additionally, neat epoxy samples are prepared for comparison. Tensile and flexural properties are investigated in terms of strength and modulus. Tensile test results depict brittle failure for all composites and infer increase in fracture strain of woven composites as compared with neat epoxy. Tensile modulus and strength of woven composites increase in the range of 19%–39% and 18%–281%, respectively as compared with neat ones. Flexural stress–strain profiles of neat epoxy, moringa/epoxy and moringa/bamboo/epoxy composites linear curves until failure indicating brittle mode while bamboo/epoxy composites shows non‐linear stress–strain profiles revealing non‐brittle mode of failure. Flexural properties exhibited by bamboo/epoxy and moringa/bamboo/epoxy reveal comparable properties to each other yet superior than moringa/epoxy and neat epoxy composites mainly attributed to the good bonding of constituents and compatibility. All the woven composites reveal an increase in flexural modulus and strength and are in the range of 31%–96% and 5.79%–51.12%, higher than the neat epoxy. Finally, fractured surfaces of specimens are analyzed using scanning electron microscope to understand the structure property correlations.
