“…Furthermore, adding ceramic fillers to resin improves the mechanical characteristics of composite materials, resulting in increased efficiency and cost savings [1,[17][18][19][20]. When compared to composites without silica, mudar/snake grass/polyester composites with silica had 1.5 and 1.08 times the tensile strength and modulus, respectively [18,21]. e flexural and impact properties of jute/B4C have been improved by adding 30 and 10% wt.% jute and alumina, respectively [22,23].…”

The impact of SiO2 and B4C on mechanical and morphological studies of Sansevieria trifasciata fiber (STF) reinforced in polyester composites is investigated in this study. STF fibers are reinforced with polyester composites with the addition ceramic fillers such as SiO2 and B4C in various weight fractions to improve tensile, flexural, and impact characteristics. The morphological properties are studied with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The improved mechanical properties were tensile strength (44.92 MPa), flexural strength (103.58 MPa), and impact strength (27.4 kJ/m2) obtained for 20 wt.% STF fiber and 15 wt.% SiO2 reinforcement with the polyester matrix. The mechanical characteristics of the composites were significantly influenced by increasing SiO2 up to 15 wt.%.

“…While these approaches improved matrix ber bonding, enhancing the roughness of the surface, and the mechanical behavior (tensile, exural, and impact strength). Even though chemical treatment enhances the matrix ber bonding, it causes bers to fracture rather than pull out when subjected to mechanical stress [9][10][11]. In the meantime, the hybrid composite of chemically treated and untreated sisal ber-reinforced polylactic acid showed superior quality than the other composition [12].…”

In the recent decades, natural fiber reinforced composite (NFRC) plays a vital role in most of the engineering applications including automobile and structural. The demand for novel natural fiber increasing steeply in recent times. Current research work aimed to develop hybrid sansevieria trifasciata fiber (HSTF)/polyester composite, and researchers combined untreated sansevieria trifasciata fibers (USTFs) with NaOH treated sisal fibers (NSTFs) and combined them with a polyester matrix. The reinforced effect of HSTFs was shown to be superior to that of NSTFs. It has the tensile strength of 48.47 MPa, the flexural strength of 69.17 MPa, and the impact strength of 16.34 kJ/m2. The thermal behaviour of the composite increased because of chemical treatment and hybrid composition. Polyester/HSTFs show superior mechanical properties compared to other developed samples.

“…The current biodegradable plastics mostly depend on forest reserves; which may affect food stock production [6] [6]. Unlike other biopolymers polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is water soluble polymer and synthesized through continues esteri cation process that doesn't cause deforestation [7,8].…”

Plastics play a crucial role in modern human life. While plastics have versatile applications, they are mainly serving for packing purpose. Many of plastics made mare used for packaging application of petrochemicals derivatives. Even though, they fulfill most of the criteria’s as good packing materials, they are not biodegradable. This causes serious environmental pollution. As a result, biodegradable plastics have emerged as an alternative to conventional plastics. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is one of the biodegradable polymers that have potential applications for various purposes because of its availability, non-toxicity, and biodegradability. However, low tensile strength and high water absorption hinder its application. To overcome this drawback, locally extracted natural biodegradable sisal fiber was used as reinforcement. The sisal fiber was extracted from sisal plant found in Ethiopian highland. After the extraction of the fiber, 20% NaOH was used for treatment in order to enhance interfacial strength between the sisal fiber and the matrix. The Composites were made by mixing 0/100, 10/90, and 20/80 weight percent using the solution casting technique. In addition to this, a cross-linker (boric acid) was used ascrosslink with PVA chains. The water intake and degradation of the samples were studied. The result shows water intake of PVA was reduced from 170% for pure PVA to 32% for the synergy of 20% reinforcement and 5.68% w/w of cross-linker concentration. The degradation obtained in 63 days was 73% for 20% reinforcement and 5.68% w/w of cross-linker concentration. The synergetic effect between boric acid cross-linking, natural sisal fiber and PVA may responsible for reduction of water absorption and improved degradation rate.
