“…It is noted that the influence of filler material addition in altering the properties of the polymer composite highly depends on the characteristics of the filler material also. [20][21][22][23] The usage of hydrophilic filler materials such as rice husk deteriorates the water absorption characteristics of the polymer composite. [24] The selection of right kind and quantity of filler material combination for the required application will result in a polymer composite material with enhanced mechanical, wear, thermal and water absorption characteristics.…”

Basalt fiber reinforcement in polymer composites has recently become very competitive to the routinely used synthetic fiber reinforcements. In the present work, composite specimens were prepared with basalt fiber mat reinforcement in vinyl ester matrix along with varying quantity of the micro and nano silicon carbide (SiC) filler particle ranging from 1 to 5 wt% in combination. Tribological and water absorption properties of the developed hybrid composites were tested to ascertain its potential for commercial applications. The specimen made of SiC particle addictive combination of 3 wt% nano and 3 wt% micro particle exhibited better mechanical characteristics and this mechanical advantage declines beyond 3 wt% SiC filler addition due to agglomeration and poor dispersion of filler particles in the hybrid composite. The microstructural investigation done via scanning electron microscopy reveals the modes of failure, where better pullout resistance was displayed by the fiber bonding characteristics with the filler and vinyl ester matrix up to 3 wt% nano and 3 wt% micro SiC filler content. Similarly, the tribological characteristics of the composite specimen for the optimum filler content specimen were superior in comparison with other combinations. Moreover, the water absorption features of the developed hybrid composites were within the acceptable limits for marine and structural applications.

“…At the same time, plant fiber reinforced plastics are partially bio‐degradable. [ 3 ] The eco‐friendly nature of the plant fiber reinforced composites attracted many industries, increasing the demand for plant fibers. The availability of conventional plant fibers such as jute, banana, sisal, and so forth, is not enough to satisfy the present amplified demand of the industries, which stimulated the researcher to discover the new plant fiber with essential properties to use as reinforcement in polymer composites.…”

This article is designed to examine the aptness of Ventilago maderaspatana fiber (VMF) as reinforcement in polymer composites. A significant quantity of cellulose fraction (56.12 ± 5.42 wt%) in the VMF was estimated via chemical analysis. The X-ray diffraction analysis identified the presence of cellulose type-I and peak cellulose type-IV in the VMF, and it quantified the crystallinity index (25.88%) and crystalline size (26.12 nm) of the VMF. Various chemical functional groups in the VMF were categorized with the help of Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopic analysis. The thermal degradation behavior of the VMF was investigated with the help of thermogravimetric analysis, and it determined the thermal stability (200 C) and kinetic activation energy (62.46 kJ/mol) of VMF. The scanning electron microscopic and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic analysis revealed the existence of contaminations, hemicellulose and lignin on the outer layer of VMF, and it was confirmed by atomic force microscopic analysis. The lower density (1236 ± 18.42 kg/m 3 ) and better tensile strength (383.7 ± 16.07 MPa) of the VMF enabled the possibility of use as reinforcement in fiber reinforced plastics.

Hevea brasiliensis (HB) flower particulates were filled high‐density poly ethylene (HDPE) composite was molded through a vertical injection molding process. The molded composite specimens were carried out X‐ray powder diffraction analysis and found the HB filler crystal size of 12.63 nm. The morphology of the HB/HDPE composite was analyzed through field emission scanning electron microscope and the presence of different elements was found through energy dispersive X‐ray. The HB/HDPE composite was carried out thermo gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetric, and found its melting point and its degradation. The HB/HDPE composite was carried out and found its mechanical properties. The observed result suggests that the newly developed composites could be used for low‐strength applications.
