“…Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA) are available commercially and the most commonly used FDM materials, but there would be a benefit to improving the mechanical properties. However, polymer properties can be dramatically modified by the use of additives; blending with reinforcing fibres offers a range of advantages including reductions in shrinkage and increased mechanical properties [3][4][5][6] which could support the use of semi-crystalline polymers as desirable in FDM. The addition of short carbon fibre in ABS has been shown to increase tensile strength and Young's modulus, but decrease toughness, yield strength and ductility [7].…”

Post-consumer recycled polypropylene (PP) with differing harakeke and hemp fibre contents was used to fabricate a range of 3D printing feedstock filaments. The most successful filaments in terms of tensile properties contained 30 wt % harakeke and had a tensile strength and Young's modulus of 41 MPa and 3.8 GPa respectively. Comparing these results to those of post-consumer recycled PP filament, showed improvements in tensile strength and Young's modulus of 77% and 275%. The composite that showed the least shrinkage consisted of 30 wt % harakeke with a shrinkage value of 0.34% corresponding to a net reduction of 84% relative to post-consumer PP.

The usage of hybrid natural composites has surged in almost all fields of engineering due to their advantage of possessing high strength to weight ratio and biodegradability. This paper deals with the fabrication and investigation of mechanical and thermal properties of banana-kenaf glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite which is relatively a newer hybrid composite. In this study, the composite is fabricated by a hand layup process with different fiber orientations and also with different volume fractions. The composites are prepared with five different proportions of banana-kenaf fibers. Various mechanical and thermal tests are conducted and the result shows that the hybrid composite in which fibers are arranged at 45 0 inclination has better properties than the others. Also, failure morphology analysis is done using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) through which the internal structures of the tested specimen are analysed.

“…The various properties and the applications of kenaf fibre have been elaborately studied and has concluded that the kenaf composite has many advantages including waste disposal and non-toxic. Vijaya Ramnath et al [18] studied the mechanical properties of composites with the alternation in their composition that affects the mechanical properties due to the changes in fibre orientation. It has been found that the samples with high abaca content has better properties of tension, flexural and impact loadings.…”

Abstract. Sandwich composite is a special form of a laminated composite comprising a combination of different materials that are bonded to each other so as to utilize the properties of each separate component to the structural advantage of the whole assembly. Usually a sandwich structure consists of two relatively thin, stiff and strong faces separated by a relatively thick lightweight core, for instance, honeycomb, balsa or foam cores. The purpose of sandwich structure is to achieve a stiff and simultaneously light component. A natural fiber composite also plays a vital role in automotive and construction filed due to their bio degradable behaviour and ease of manufacturing. This paper reviews sandwich structures, various tests performed on it and their properties along with some studies of mechanical behaviour of natural fiber composites. Major applications of the sandwich specimens are also highlighted in this work.
