“…Earlier research outcomes showed that Acacia caesia bark fibers (37 wt%), Cocos nucifera peduncle fiber (50.1 wt%), Cortaderia selloana grass stem fiber (53.7 wt%) and V. maderaspatana fiber (56.12 ± 5.42 wt%) have lower cellulose component than the MAF. [ 39,42 ] Besides this, some of the plant fibers, namely purple bauhinia fiber (60.54 ± 4.31 wt%), E. indica grass fiber (61.3 wt%) and Coccinia grandis L. stem fiber (62.35 wt%) have quite elevated cellulose component than MAF. [ 14,32 ] The existence of a higher quantity of hemicellulose is not an encouraging property as it is an amorphous component.…”

This research investigated the scope of using a fiber harvested from Mucuna atropurpurea (MAF) plant as reinforcement in fiber-reinforced plastics. An optical microscope and a pycnometer were used to calculate the diameter (289 ± 21 μm) and density (1082 ± 29 kg/m 3 ) of the MAF. Using chemical compositional analysis, 58.74 ± 5.74 wt% cellulose and 16.31 ± 3.21 wt% hemicellulose, and 14.22 ± 3.36 wt% lignin and 0.38 ± 0.08 wt% wax components were found in the MAF. Numerous chemical stretching in the MAF were checked using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Briodo analysis (68.08 kJ/mol) showed the kinetic activation energy of the MAF. Surface morphological inspections suggested surface treatments of MAF due to contaminations and wax on the fiber surface. The statistical analysis conducted for determining the tensile properties of MAF revealed that MAF is a suitable candidate to produce fiber-reinforced plastics. Characterization of MAF-reinforced polyester composites showed that 40 mm fiber length and 30 wt% fiber enhanced tensile strength (109.51 ± 2.1 MPa), flexural strength (156.62 ± 3.1 MPa), and hardness (94 ± 4 HRRW). Fractography images of composites with fiber pull-outs in the MAF-reinforced plastics were taken for analysis. Less cavities and voids in the 30 wt% MAF-reinforced composites were found along with reduced water absorption.

Novel natural plant fibers with significant features are to be explored at the moment due to their renewability, degradability, wide range acceptability, economic feasibility, and ecological standards over existing synthetic ones. Since the identification of potential plant fibers are getting much attention of scientists/researchers for the development of promising fiber reinforced composites. In the light of this, the present study identified a novel plant fiber from the peduncle of Furcraea selloa K. Koch and studied its anatomical, morphological, physico-chemical, thermal, mechanical and surface properties in order to explore its utility as a composite reinforcement. Anatomical study was satisfactory for identifying the presence and position of the fiber in the plant material. Good crystallinity (49.27%), high cellulose content (71.13%) and relatively low density (1127 kg/m 3 ) were found as the feasible features after physicochemical analysis. Indeed, desirable thermal stability (370 C) and tensile property (649.21 ± 16.52 MPa) of Furcraea selloa K. Koch peduncle fiber (FSPF) revealed its ability for high temperature required processing and applications. The morphological studies ensure good surface roughness and reduced microfibrillar angle (7.83 ± 0.23 ), which are recommended features for good fibermatrix addition. These promising properties are sufficient to deliberate FSPF as a new potential composite reinforcement, with good specific properties and high environmental impact.

“…Moisture adsorption on the surface of polymer composites has a substantial impact on their behavior over time. [124][125][126][127][128][129][130] Ogunsona et al [131] investigated nylon/ biocarbon reinforced biocomposites subjected to accelerated aging conditions by immersing the composite in water at 85 C for up to 28 days. The nylon/biocarbon biocomposites absorbed less water than nylon alone implying biocarbon particles operate as a barrier trapping absorbed moisture inside their pores surrounding the nylon interface.…”

Biocomposites with inherent advantages such as biodegradable, recyclable, readily available, lower cost, and lower carbon footprint conveniently replace synthetic plastics. Despite being environmentally friendly, biocomposites should be functionally stable and structural in a rigorous environment. Thus, a study of biopolymer composites with exposure to various aging conditions, especially of humidity environment, which is of necessary concern, is considered here in this review. The aging experiments are often conducted at an accelerated rate at a specific time in respective environments to reduce the experimental time called accelerated aging. The vibration behavior of the biocomposites was conducted to determine the damping behavior of the composites is described in detail.
