“…The Addition of Montmorillonite nano clay improved the water absorption capability of hybrid composite combinations of various natural fibers (kenaf, coir, and wood) and polypropylene [154]. On the contrary, the addition of montmorillonite nano clay in natural fiber-reinforced hybrid nanocomposites, manufactured by compression molding technique with wood particles, hemp fiber, and polypropylene decreases the water absorption property [99]. Ferric oxides added to fiber boards result in enhanced thickness swelling and water absorption properties.…”

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composite offers ecological safety towards a sustainable environment. Meanwhile, the deficiency of the poor interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix draws the attention of researchers to be sorted out. The use of inorganic nanofiller is considered as a possible solution to overcome the hurdle nowadays besides strengthening the composite properties. This article thoroughly reviews the use of inorganic nanofillers in natural fiber composites, covering different manufacturing processes and properties. Factors of various manufacturing techniques occupied for composite fabrication are investigated. Moreover, the influences of different nanofillers on mechanical, thermal, chemical, and physical properties of composites are discussed. In addition, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images of the bio composites are critically reviewed that usually exhibit the interfacial bonding and the fractures of the specimen. Furthermore, application of such natural fiber composites and the future investigation pathway in using inorganic nanofiller in composite are narrated.

By using the solution casting technique, blends of polystyrene and rosin (PS/rosin) plasticized by dibutyl phthalate (DBP) were created with various rosin content (5, 10, 20, and 30%). These blends were then exposed to various gamma radiation dosages (50, 100, 150, and 200 kGy). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and mechanical characteristics were used to analyze the mixes (PS/rosin). FTIR and SEM were used to demonstrate the two polymers' physical miscibility. TGA is used to study thermal properties. The TGA thermograms demonstrated that as the PS component ratio in the blend is increased, the thermal stability of the unirradiated polymer blends (PS/rosin) also increases. Additionally, it was shown that the PS polymer provides protection against radiation degradation and enhances their thermal stability additionally, it was determined that adding PS to rosin improved its tensile strength and other mechanical qualities. On the other hand, by increasing the proportion of rosin in the blend, elongation was reduced.

The emerging need for a sustainable environment prompts the research community to develop functional materials with bio‐ and organic waste. This research advocates biodegradable waste management and its performance evaluation. The involvement of Caesalpinia decapetala (CD) as a potential reinforcement in the epoxy matrix and its analytical evaluation of thermal stability are novel ideas for disposing of bio and organic waste. Three different variants (10, 20, and 30 wt%) of CD seed particles are used to develop the epoxy composite, and further, their influence on dynamic mechanical characteristics such as damping type, loss modulus, and storage modulus has been investigated. The results corroborate that the higher CD seed content (30 wt%) in the epoxy matrix enhances the storage modulus, loss modulus, and damping on a scale of 1.14, 1.25, and 1.07 times that of the neat epoxy matrix. The reason behind the improved dynamic properties has been validated through theoretical modeling. A substantial increment in the degree of entanglement and activation energy in the band of 8.33 × 10−3 moles/m3 and 20.201 kJ/mol, respectively, in comparison with neat epoxy, is considered to be good authentication for the thermal stability of the CD 30 specimen. The analytical prediction of storage modulus is executed with five different models, whereas damping behavior is executed with two different models. The analytically estimated results are matched with the experimental ones, and we conclude that they are in fair agreement with the experimental findings.
