This research paper focuses on the use of solid biomass waste, specifically a combination of Polyalthia longifolia seed (PLSF) and graphite (GH) powder, as reinforcements in vinyl ester (VE) composites. The composites were produced via the hand layup method, with the filler concentration varying from 0 to 15 wt% of PLSF and 0–9 wt% of graphite. The objective was to examine the influence of the hybrid filler on the mechanical characteristics of the composites. The mechanical properties of composites prepared from P. longifolia seeds and graphite powder were experimentally characterized. These properties included tensile strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, and hardness. The hybrid composite had a maximum tensile strength of 48.4 MPa, and its tensile modulus was 1.66 GPa. The hybrid filler at 15% wt% of PLSF and 6% of graphite has the highest flexural strength, which is around 148 MPa. The ultimate impact strength and hardness were measured to be 41.3 kJ/m2 and 44.5, respectively, after the addition of 15 and 6 wt% of hybrid filler. In comparison to neat vinyl ester resin, the PLSF/GH‐VE composites exhibited an increase in tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness of 2.69, 1.82, 3.03, and 1.59 times, respectively. Hybrid composite surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopes to determine surface characteristics and fractured surfaces. In addition, the PLSF/GH‐VE composites have been utilized in the production of components for four‐wheelers.Highlights Investigated the impact of hybrid filler‐reinforced vinyl ester composites. Mechanical and thermal properties were experimentally characterized. Surface characteristics and fractured surfaces were examined. PLSF/GH‐VE composites are used in producing components for four‐wheelers.

The usage of cellulosic fibers as fillers for thermoplastics has generated great interest due to their numerous advantages and benefits compared to conventional fibers. This article examines a comparative study on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of polypropylene/polyethylene (PP/PE)/cellulose (sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and softwood (SW)) blend composites prepared through melt compounding. The morphology of the obtained PP/PE/SCB and PP/PE/SW blend composites was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed reduced crystallinity of the PP/PE blend after fiber interaction. Thermal results showed that the PP/PE/SW blend was more thermally stable compared to the PP/PE/SCB blend. Additionally, the onset temperature of main degradation decreased with th e incorporation of extracted celluloses. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis revealed that the introduction of SCB or SW raw fiber and extracted celluloses did not significantly change the melting and crystallization behavior of the PP/PE blend. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) revealed that the storage modulus of the PP/PE/SCB raw and PP/PE/SW raw materials were lower than their corresponding cellulose blend composites across the temperature range studied.
