“…These chemical treatments also enhanced the mechanical interlocking and chemical bonding between the fiber and the matrix. 26 Even though many natural fibers have been reported in the literature, still a quest exists to discover a potential reinforcement for producing bio-composite, especially from agro-waste. This study in particular emphasizes the effect of reinforcement of surface modified fibers extracted from unbranched portion of peduncle from Cocos nucifera L. of Var typica variety in polymer composites for its mechanical, thermal, morphological and water absorption characteristics.…”

Natural fibers are a powerful competitor in the polymer composite market due to their availability, sustainability, obtainability, cost, and biodegradability. The surface of natural fibers was changed to increase mechanical qualities, hydrophobicity, and bonding with polymer matrix. This study exposes the influence of several surface treatments of coconut tree peduncle fibers (CTPFs) on the thermomechanical and water absorption properties of CTPF-reinforced polymer composites. The CTPFs were treated with sodium hydroxide, benzoyl peroxide, potassium permanganate and stearic acid at a constant 40 wt% and individually reinforced in an unsaturated polyester resin matrix containing 60 wt% CTPFs. Chemically treated CTPFs improved reinforcement-matrix

“…Even though the increase in density was found to be minimum, the overall physicomechanical characteristics are found to be sufficient to produce composites of light weight and higher specific strength. 38 The enzyme treated ACTPFs has lesser diameter compared to ACTPF as shown in Figure 2. The minimum diameter reported is 409 ± 19.6 μm for PAACTPF.…”

This paper investigates thermo-mechanical, chemical, and morphological characteristics of alkali pretreated and enzyme treated Areca catechu tree peduncle fibers (ACTPFs) for probable reinforcement in polymer composites. ACTPFs were pre-treated with 0.4 M NaOH solution and treated with enzymes such as xylanase, laccase, and pectinase before investigations. Alkali pre-treated ACTPF (AACTPF) cum pectinase treated AACTPF (PAACTPF) exhibited maximum cellulose content 57.28 wt% and single fiber tensile strength 203.5 ± 22.12 MPa. Further, the crystallinity index and crystal size of PAACTPF was determined as 55% and 12.9 nm by x-ray diffraction analysis. Also, the prevalence of chemical bonds and thermal stability up to 233 C in PAACTPF was exposed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and thermogravimetric analysis respectively. Moreover, the coarse surface of PAACTPF viewed through scanning electron microscope owing to removal of amorphous contents makes it a considerable counterpart for substitutional reinforcement to artificial fibers in polymer composites.

“…This peak was observed to be more prominent in L4 and L6 laminates due to the structural putrefaction of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents in areca, carbon, and basalt fabrics. [59][60][61][62][63][64] In general, it can be defended that the present laminates in the study can be thermally constant up to the temperature range of 310 C and can be utilized in such applications tolerable up to the above-mentioned temperature range.…”

The use of renewable resources to reduce environmental effects can provide a long-term platform. The natural fiber is an excellent renewable resource for developing lightweight composite materials. The present work is the development of hybrid areca/carbon/basalt reinforced epoxy/bio epoxy composites and the investigation of their mechanical, thermal, and water absorption behavior. Four layered areca-carbon, areca-basalt, and areca fiber reinforced epoxy/bio epoxy composites were fabricated with three different varying stacking sequences with epoxy and bio epoxy composites with a hand layup method. The Mechanical properties like tensile, flexural, and impact behavior were evaluated and compared between the synthetic and bio epoxy resin. Also, the thermal, water absorption, and morphological studies of all composites were studied, and results showed that out of all the composites the carbonareca fiber reinforced composites showed better mechanical properties and SEM analysis exemplified the better bonding between areca, carbon, and basalt fabrics. The prepared laminates can be used for developing some commercial medium-load structural applications.
