This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of hybrid polymer composites and the addition of primary and secondary additives such as nano-aluminium oxide and nano graphene, to Kenaf epoxy composites. A vacuum-bagging method was used to fabricate the composites. The advantage of vacuum bagging is the reduction of blowholes. The weight ratio of Kenaf fiber 50-60%, matrix 40%, and additives nano-aluminium oxide 0-6%, nano graphene 0-3% were considered. Mechanical properties like Tensile strength, young’s modulus and elongation, flexural strength, flexural modulus, hardness, impact strength, and compression strength were tested.6% nano aluminium oxide and 3% nano graphene show a 125% increase in the tensile strength, a 45% increase in flexural strength, and almost four times higher flexural modulus recorded. 42% increase in compression strength, increase in 40% impact strength. The highest Vickers hardness value of 27.An increase in the combination of primary and secondary fillers increased the mechanical properties.The research work is the authors own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere. Keywords: Kenaf fiber, nano aluminium oxide, nano graphene, Vaccum-bagging, mechanical properties.cellulose present in natural fibers is responsible for thecombinations of different materials.

“…A comprehensive literature study on Banyan fibre composites suggests that the fibre has been extensively tested with the addition of various supporting materials, with the likes of graphene powder 25 and polymer matrix for composite reinforcement. 26 However, this paper proposes to analyse the mechanical properties of Banyan fibre when reinforced with E-glass, making it the first of its kind. Besides this, the usage of multiple microscopic analysis techniques, such as that of FESEM, FTIR and XRD, backed with statistical verification of data through ANOVA, ANN and DNN, provide not just the macro-characteristics of the specimen but also indicate that each sample is understood and validated at the smallest of levels, thereby making this study novel.…”

This paper deals with the testing of tensile and flexural behaviour of epoxy-reinforced natural fibre composites, for which Banyan fibres have been selected as the natural fibre. Variations are made in the orientation of the fibres to determine which orientation made the composite the strongest. The fibre strands are arranged in different orientations, such as the uniaxial, biaxial and criss-cross arrangements, to differentiate between the orientations and observe which arrangement exhibited the best mechanical behaviour. The fibres are initially washed with 0.5% weight/volume (w/v) NaOH solution, following which specimens of the composites are made using wooden moulds designed according to ASTM standards. Biaxial layers of E-glass are incorporated into the matrix in an attempt to enhance the mechanical properties of the specimen. The variances observed in the Young’s modulus are analysed to understand the factors that majorly impacted it. For a better understanding of the results, the chemical functional groups and the microstructure of the samples are analysed with the aid of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD). Additionally, predictive models are simulated using Artificial and Deep Neural Networks to recognise patterns in the data, by varying specific parameters. The results obtained indicated that Banyan fibre composites can replace conventionally-used materials and serve real-world purposes better.
