“…The water contact angle measurements showed that the hydrophilic values increased from 54.4 to 74.5, which can be express at 36.94% with the inclusion of graphite particles. The woven bamboo fiber hybrid composites' tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact characteristics reached 32.78%, 27.37%, and 172.4%, respectively (Pulikkalparambil et al, 2023). Another analysis revealed that the silica nanoparticles contribute the most towards wear performance with a contribution ratio of 32.61% and a combination of 2 wt% of silica nanoparticles, 10 N normal load, 1.5 m/s sliding speed and 500 m sliding distance resulted in higher wear resistance (Singh et al, 2021).…”

Materials comprised of a polymer matrix with natural fiber reinforcement are known as natural fiber reinforcement polymer composites (NFRCs). Scientists have recently become quite interested in these composite materials because they provide improved properties over conventional synthetic fiber reinforced polymer composites at a lower cost and with benefits to the environment. However, a number of factors, including gamma radiation exposure and the addition of nanoparticles, can impact the properties of NFRCs. This review will focus on the effects of gamma radiation and nanoparticles on the mechanical, thermal, and water-resistance properties of NFRCs. In order to help in the creation of new and improved NFRCs for diverse applications, this review seeks to provide a thorough understanding of the characteristics of NFRCs and how they might be impacted by gamma radiation and nanoparticles.

The primary aim of this research work was to develop a lightweight vinyl ester based prosthetic composite with silane treated Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) foam and areca fiber and how the silane surface treatment process influence the laminar adhesion against to accelerated aging conditions. Both the foam (3 mm) and fiber is silane‐treated via aqueous solution method and the composites were subjected to accelerate aging via temperature (40 and 50°C) as well as sea and rain water. The developed composites were evaluated based on American society of testing of materials (ASTM) standards and the results revealed a consistent stability in tensile strength for post‐silane treated composites on both aging conditions. Particularly, the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) test emphasized that the silane treated reinforcements has high resistance against delamination. Similarly, flammability test demonstrated sustained fire‐resistant properties in both horizontal and vertical orientations, with negligible variations in flame propagation speed. Thermal conductivity test revealed the intricate interplay of PET core and areca fiber on heat transfer. Thus, from results it is evident that the silane surface treatment helped to maintain the laminates adhere with matrix in spite of the accelerated aging conditions such as prolonged heat exposition as well as water immersion. These findings contribute valuable insights into the load bearing performance of the lightweight composite materials in human prosthetic applications where prolonged heat and water aging happened frequently.Highlights Lightweight polymer foam‐areca fiber prosthetic composites prepared and tested for accelerated weather conditions PET foam and areca fiber is silane surface treated using amino‐silane Treated foam and fiber maintained mechanical properties under aged condition Treated foam and fiber maintained flammability properties under aged condition Silane treated foam and fiber maintained good thermal conductivity under aged condition

“…Dilfi et al [18] analyzed the effect of MWCNTs in ramie-fiber-reinforced composites using two types of chemical treatments, alkaline and silane, to facilitate the coupling of the nanotube with the fiber and reported that the incorporation of nanotubes in the composites led to a significant enhancement in the mechanical and thermal properties of these materials. Pulikkalparambil et al [17] investigated the effect of Graphite (Gr) nanoparticles in bamboo-fiber-reinforced composites. The composites studied were bamboo-fiber-reinforced composite (EP/BF), bamboo-fiber-reinforced composite + 1 wt% of Gr (EP/BFGr1), bamboo-fiber-reinforced composite + 3 wt% of Gr (EP/BFGr3), bamboo-fiber-reinforced composite + 5 wt% of Gr (EP/BFGr5), and bamboofiber-reinforced composite + 10 wt% Gr (EP/BFGr10).…”

The main objective of this research centered on investigating the effect of the addition of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical and thermal properties of curauá-fiber-reinforced composites. The MWCNTs were added either to the fiber surface or into the resin matrix as the second reinforcing phase. The MWCNT-modified curauá fibers as well as raw fibers were characterized using a single-fiber tensile test, TGA, and FTIR analysis. Further, different composite samples, namely, pure curauá, (curauá + MWCNTs) + resin and curauá+ (resin + MWCNTs), were manufactured via compression molding and tested to determine their mechanical and thermal properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis was used to examine the surfaces of the tested fibers. It was found that the addition of MWCNTs to the curauá fibers resulted in positive effects (an enhancement in properties was found for the MWCNT-modified fibers and their composites). The addition of MWCNTs also increased the thermal stability of the natural fibers and composites.
