Various peel-off experiments can be used to determine the adhesion strength of various fibres. Among them was the "T" type peel-off test, which measures the adhesions between fibres. The use of organic and inorganic fillers in flake or powder form will alter the adhesive properties of the binders as well as the adhesive strength between the fibres. In this study, the adhesion strength between three different varieties of glass fibres (C-Glass, E-Glass, and S-Glass fibres) with a PLA core has been investigated. As a binder, an epoxy resin was used, and the resin was modified with inorganic additives such as alumina, bentonite, and silicon carbide. Peel-off testing was used to examine the effect of additives on the bonding strength between a thermoplastic core and a synthetic fibre. The addition of inorganic compounds was found to reduce the adhesion strength between the fibres and the core. In order to evaluate the initial adhesion between the filaments and the core, nine specimens were fabricated without the addition of any additives and their strengths were determined. Maximum adhesion strength of 71.8 MPa was recorded for the neat resin. The adhesive strength after inclusion of additives was observed to decrease by 18.14%, and recorded maximum peel-off strength of 58.2 MPa. Also, the inclusion percentages of the additives were found to be the most influential factor in determining the composites' adhesive properties. Validation tests were also conducted with the optimized results which demonstrated that the predicted and experimental results were in excellent agreement. Macro and micro approaches were employed to analyze the deformation mechanisms in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the additives affected the adhesion strength.

In this work, pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) and ramie hybrid fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite samples were evaluated for their hardness strength and resistance to dry slide wear and air jet erosion. Primary reinforcement using the hybrid material was chosen from different lengths (10, 15, 20, and 25 mm) and weight percentages (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%). The hardness strength of the hybrid composite varied from 74 to 97 Shore D hardness strength. A dry sliding wear test was conducted with the key parameters of load (20, 30, and 40 N), time (20, 10, 7 min), and speed (160, 320, and 479 rpm). By using the data analyzing software, Taguchi optimization method, the key contribution parameters were identified. In the air jet erosion experiment, impact angle (45°, 60°, and 90°), erodent velocity (28, 41, and 72 m/s), and discharge rate (1, 2.5, and 3.3 g/min) parameters were used. Fiber and matrix materials agglomeration effect and bonding behavior were identified by using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The 20 mm length with 30% of the PALF and ramie hybrid fiber‐reinforced composite sample achieved high hardness strength (97 shore D) and created a high resistance toward wear and erosion studies.Highlights Natural plant pineapple leaf and ramie fibers are mixed with an epoxy matrix. Used Taguchi analysis to determine the means and signal‐to‐noise ratios Different weight percentages of the PALF and ramie hybrid composites Dry sliding wear and air jet erosion studies are conducted. Individual parameter contributions were identified.

Effect of Surface Modified Montmorillonite Nanoclay on Tensile and Flexural Properties of Pineapple Leaf Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite

et al. 2023

Due to their biodegradability, affordability, low density, and numerous other benefits, natural fiber polymer composites are preferable to conventional GFRP in maritime applications. However, when exposed to moisture, their mechanical qualities deteriorate. A significant agricultural waste called pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) can be employed as reinforcement in epoxy matrices. Improved interfacial bonding between phases improves interfacial bonding and hence enhance mechanical and water absorption properties. Only evaluation of mechanical properties is undertaken in this paper. Nanoclay in 1.5 and 3 wt% was incorporated in epoxy resin via magnetic stirring and ultrasonication. PALF fibers were subjected to NaOH treatment and was analyzed using SEM and FTIR techniques. Hand layup and compression moulding were used to fabricate composites using a nanoclay-epoxy resin combination and chemically treated PALF (20 & 30 wt%). The combination of 30 wt% PALF and 1.5 wt% nanoclay results in the maximum mechanical properties, namely tensile and flexural properties. The results of SEM investigation of fractured specimens show that interfacial bonding in epoxy composites containing PALF is poor while that in epoxy composites containing PALF and 1.5 wt% nanoclay is excellent. Due to nanoclay agglomerations, bonding is inadequate at 3 wt% nanoclay, which lowers the mechanical properties.
