“…Many authors have investigated different natural fibers for use in composites; see refs. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. As many of the plant fiber composites have similar properties to those of synthetic glass fiber composites, plant fibers have attracted the attention of researchers among the various natural fibers.…”

This paper investigates the effect of filler content on the mechanical properties of cotton fiber (CF) on the CF/PP and CF/PVC composites under quasi-static loading. For this purpose, experimental tensile tests were carried out on dog-bone specimens, cut out from hot and cold press molded square plates of different fiber weight contents. The results obtained show that the filler content appears to have a strong influence on mechanical energy absorption, and failure characteristics. It was also found that the stiffness for both sets of material increases with the addition of filler. On the other hand, the ductility for both sets of the material increases with the addition of filler. The microscopic morphology study indicates that CF/PP possesses a glossy surface appearance compared to CF/PVC, which possesses a porous surface. Micro-scale damage characteristics from tensile tests indicate that material experienced shear failure, matrix cracking, fiber breakage, fiber fracture, and fiber pullout. The phenomenon of matrix crazing experienced by CF/PP composites was also observed.

“…The energy absorption capacity is highly critical for many engineering applications and some investigations on the traditional composite materials and foams have already been conducted [23][24][25]. This feature is also one of the most significant properties of AMSFs and strongly depends on plateau behavior.…”

“…It is found that DPF has very high energy-absorption capability due to the anatomical structure of DPF. [23] DPS is also used with waste polystyrene as a wood plastic composite material. The mechanical, thermal, physical, and morphological properties of composites were investigated for a sandwich-structure structural component.…”

This study evaluates the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy hybrid composites reinforced with date palm fiber (DPF) and kenaf fiber (KF) at various fiber loadings. Flexural properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of hybrid composites were reported. The flexural properties revealed the effect of fiber ratio on flexural strength and modulus; a higher kenaf ratio showed a higher flexural modulus. TGA revealed the effect of lignin present in the DPF, which affected the glass transition significantly. In DMA characterization, storage modulus revealed that 7DP3K showed higher modulus in the initial stage and had better glass transition than others. The loss modulus showed that the peak of 7DP3K had higher loss modulus, glass transition at a higher temperature, and wider relaxation period. Damping factor also showed that 7DP3K had peak at a higher temperature.The result showed that KF has positively impacted on DPF to improve the mechanical and thermal properties. The hybrid fibers in epoxy composites were effective in increasing the dynamic mechanical properties and flexural strength ascribed to the improved matrix/fiber bonding. The possible applications of the hybrid composites may be in building industry and automobiles.This study gives directions for further research on comparison of treated hybrid composites with untreated ones.
