“…The processing and fabrication of epoxy-based natural fibers are paramount as the properties of composites are conditioned on the constituent elements of the composites, production technology, and the techniques employed in organizing the fibers [ 4 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. In addition to high strength and stiffness at a low density, composite materials exhibit interesting high corrosion and chemical resistance combined with low cost [ 25 ]. However, these awesome properties are not only determined by the incorporated fibers but the matrix also remarkable an important role, as well as the interaction between the matrix and the reinforcing fiber components of the composites.…”

“…The properties of epoxy natural fiber composites rely on the nature of the constituent elements, their compositions, and the production technique employed in the manufacturing of the composites. Common production technology used in the manufacturing of epoxy-based natural fiber biocomposites includes hand lay-up [ 7 , 21 , 22 , 23 ], compression molding [ 24 ], sheet molding [ 25 ], filament winding [ 26 ], and vacuum infusion [ 27 ].

Growing environmental concerns have increased the scientific interest in the utilization of natural fibers for the development of epoxy biocomposite materials. The incorporation of one or more fibers in the production of hybrid epoxy polymer composites has been a subject of discussion. It is interesting to acknowledge that natural/synthetic fiber hybridized epoxy composites have superior properties over natural/natural fiber hybridized epoxy composites. Significant efforts have been devoted to the improvement of natural fiber surface modifications to promote bonding with the epoxy matrix. However, to achieve sufficient surface modification without destroying the natural fibers, optimization of treatment parameters such as the concentration of the treatment solution and treatment time is highly necessary. Synthetic and treated natural fiber hybridization in an epoxy matrix is expected to produce biocomposites with appreciable biodegradability and superior mechanical properties by manipulating the fiber/matrix interfacial bonding. This paper presents a review of studies on the processing of epoxy natural fiber composites, mechanical properties, physical properties such as density and water absorption, thermal properties, biodegradability study, nondestructive examination, morphological characterizations, and applications of epoxy-based natural fiber biocomposites. Other aspects, including a review of variables that enhance the mechanical and functional performance of epoxy/natural fibers composites while also increasing the biodegradability of the composite material for environmental sustainability, were presented. The future research focus was elucidated. It is hoped that this review will stimulate and refocus research efforts toward advancing the manufacture of epoxy/natural fiber composites to meet the growing demand for biocomposite materials in the global world.

High voltage outdoor insulation systems are conventionally ceramics and glass with several advantages, such as proven in the field, excellent dielectric properties, durability, and long life. However, they are heavy, attract vandals and break easily, and they can lose their dielectric properties easily when subjected to high voltage transients, arcing, and surges. To curb this, polymer insulators are used because they have excellent dielectric properties, such as those of ceramics and glass, with the added advantages that they do not break easily and recover their lost dielectric properties after any electrical transients. Therefore, this paper investigates the dielectric properties of polymeric materials – silicone rubber (SR) and epoxy resin (ER). Some SR samples were manufactured in the laboratory, and others were obtained from the industrial manufacturer. All the ER samples were manufactured in the laboratory. The dielectric measurements were performed with the Insulation Diagnostics System. Within the measured frequency ranges, the dielectric losses of SR manufactured industrially differ from the laboratory-manufactured specimens. This is due to filler materials in the industrially manufactured samples. For the case of serially connecting the SR and ER, there was a higher influence of dielectric loss of SR than the ER, with some remarkable dielectric losses at some frequencies.

The fire-retardant properties of high-performance fiber-reinforced composites are the crucial benchmark for composite structure stability. However, in the current flame-retardant solution for composites it is difficult to reach the balance between fire resistance and structural performance due to the deteriorating composite interface. In this work, the carbon fiber-reinforced composite was covered with functional glass fiber layers, in which the glass fiber veil had been treated with flame-retardant agents and silicone-modified waterborne polyurethane, in order to be endowed with flame-retardant capability and structure toughness. As such, a significant improvement in the flame retardancy and mechanical structure of the composites could be observed. When compared with the control, the total heat release and total smoke release for composites with 8% silicone-modified waterborne polyurethane treatment could be decreased by 18.5% and 18.1%, while the tensile and flexural strength were significantly increased by 47.3% and 62.2%, respectively. This well-balanced performance is attributable to the structure design with a toughened glass fiber veil to protect the composite surfaces from fire combustion and structure failure. Therefore, this flame-retardant structure design provides a new strategy to achieve high-performance composites with prospective applications for aircraft and aerospace.
