“…This fact assists in more consideration on development of light weight material with better performance. Among polymerbased materials, fibre reinforced polymer composite material particularly attains more attention owing to its low density, high specific strength with better stiffness comparable to conventionally used steel [1,2]. Due to this, facts, fibre-based polymer composite, are consider as advanced engineering materials, has wider range of applications that includes automobile, defence, aerospace, etc.…”

Bio-reduction of composite materials is the modern approach to facilitate the researchers to avoid toxic chemical exposure during reduction process. In this study, the green reduction of graphene oxide using Abutilon indicum (Tamil name: Thuthi) plant leaves extracted from various solvents were used as green filler material (0.3, 0.6 and 1 wt.%) in glass fibre epoxy composite. Compression moulding process was adopted to fabricate bio-reduced graphene oxide (BGO) filler incorporated polymer matrix composite. Tensile, flexural, toughness, impact test and fracture surface morphology analysis have been conducted over developed composite. Flame retardancy behaviour was studied based on UL94 standard. Outcome of the study revealed that Abutilon indicum act as the better reducing agent to reduce graphene oxide. XRD, FTIR results depicts the proper distortion of graphite flask. Addition of BGO in polymer matrix improvises the tensile, flexural and impact strength of matrix material up to 28%, 55% and 80%. Herein addition of 0.6 wt.% of BGO showcase better fracture toughness and flexural strength, further increment in BGO show negative effect in strength. Occurrence of delamination failure was notified in fracture surface morphology.

“…[ 43,44 ] The results shows that untreated fiber composites exhibited a larger void content (5.85%) than treated fiber composites due to non‐cellulosic elements present in the untreated banana fiber composites. [ 21,45,46 ] The chemical categorization of raw and treated MAPFs may be validated by the weight proportion of every chemical component. [ 47 ] Fibers with higher cellulose content have stronger tensile and elasticity.…”

This investigation focuses on studying the properties of treated and untreated Musa acuminate peduncle fiber (MAPF)‐reinforced epoxy composites. The effect of fiber weight fraction and alkali treatment on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics of MAPF‐reinforced epoxy composites was investigated for the first time. A considerable enhancement in the tensile, impact, and flexural characteristics was observed at 20 wt% fiber; beyond 20 wt%, the properties were found to decrease. The increase in cellulose (from 66.43 to 74.22 wt%) and decrease in lignin (from 16.85 to 7.91 wt%) and hemicellulose (from 13.72 to 8.58 wt%) in alkali‐treated fiber resulted in a more crystalline structure. This led to improved tensile (tensile strength 53.61 MPa and tensile modulus 0.561 GPa), flexural (flexural strength 64.33 MPa and flexural modulus 5.43 GPa), and impact (90.33 J/m) composite properties compared to the untreated fiber composite. After tensile testing, the composite's fractured cross‐sections were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, which revealed that the alkali‐treated MAPF‐reinforced composite had fewer voids and improved fiber bonding. Thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy studies also revealed that alkali‐treated MAPFs area promising reinforcement for the epoxy polymer matrix.

“…The Fourier Transform Infrared analysis provides technical information about functional groups and chemical composition in the fiber-based epoxy. For example, the study by Sumesh et al [ 171 ] where banana (BFA), pineapple (PFA), and coir (CFA) fly ash were studied in the epoxy composite revealed different functional groups associated with each precursor of fiber. The O-H stretching characteristic band in the composite matrix represents the presence of water absorbed, phenol, and alcohol usually found at approximately 3500 cm −1 .…”

Growing environmental concerns have increased the scientific interest in the utilization of natural fibers for the development of epoxy biocomposite materials. The incorporation of one or more fibers in the production of hybrid epoxy polymer composites has been a subject of discussion. It is interesting to acknowledge that natural/synthetic fiber hybridized epoxy composites have superior properties over natural/natural fiber hybridized epoxy composites. Significant efforts have been devoted to the improvement of natural fiber surface modifications to promote bonding with the epoxy matrix. However, to achieve sufficient surface modification without destroying the natural fibers, optimization of treatment parameters such as the concentration of the treatment solution and treatment time is highly necessary. Synthetic and treated natural fiber hybridization in an epoxy matrix is expected to produce biocomposites with appreciable biodegradability and superior mechanical properties by manipulating the fiber/matrix interfacial bonding. This paper presents a review of studies on the processing of epoxy natural fiber composites, mechanical properties, physical properties such as density and water absorption, thermal properties, biodegradability study, nondestructive examination, morphological characterizations, and applications of epoxy-based natural fiber biocomposites. Other aspects, including a review of variables that enhance the mechanical and functional performance of epoxy/natural fibers composites while also increasing the biodegradability of the composite material for environmental sustainability, were presented. The future research focus was elucidated. It is hoped that this review will stimulate and refocus research efforts toward advancing the manufacture of epoxy/natural fiber composites to meet the growing demand for biocomposite materials in the global world.
