“…Low self-weight, high specific strength, free formability, and strong corrosion and fatigue resistance of natural-fiber-reinforced composites are some of the additional reasons for their increased popularity. On the other hand, natural composites have been limited in their usage due to their poorer mechanical and thermo-physical qualities when compared to synthetic composites and traditional structural materials [8,9]. Plant-based natural fibers such as banana, pineapple, abaca, jute, okra, sisal, hemp, flax, caryota, kenaf, and date palm fibers have proved to be potential reinforcement in the thermosetting and thermoplastic polymer composites and are being used in a wide range of applications [10,11].…”

The impact of matrix material on the mechanical properties of natural-fiber-reinforced hybrid composites was studied by comparing their experimental, and numerical analysis results. In the present work hemp and flax fibers were used as reinforcement and epoxy resin and ecopoxy resin along with hardener were used as matrix materials. To study the influence of the matrix material, two sets of hybrid composites were fabricated by varying the matrix material. The composite samples were fabricated by using the compression-molding technique followed by a hand layup process. A total of five different composites were fabricated by varying the weight fraction of fiber material in each set based on the rule of the hybridization process. After fabrication, the mechanical properties of the composite samples were tested and morphological studies were analyzed by using SEM-EDX analysis. The flexural-test fractured specimens were analyzed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). In addition, theoretical analysis of the elastic properties of hybrid composites was carried out by using the Halpin–Tsai approach. The results showed that the hybrid composites had superior properties to individual fiber composites. Overall, epoxy resin matrix composites exhibited superior properties to ecopoxy matrix composites.

“…Whereas, fleecy mango leaves showed an increase of 30% in coefficient of friction in hard coarse and decrease in frictional coefficient. Agung et al [16] mentioned that incase of composites with varying proportions of impact modifiers and maleic anhydride with abaca fiber, impact modifiers exhibit better thermal stability when compared to maleic anhydride composites. Abaca fiber treated with NaOH for 2 hours provided better interfacial bond between the fiber and epoxy for epoxy resin fiber composites [17].…”

For material engineers, greater consumption of fuel by the aviation and automobile sector is a greater challenge. Based on this scenario, exploration towards the generation of new engineering materials which are lighter with superior mechanical properties in the field of aviation and automobile sector is found to be important. Reduce the fuel utilization up to 70% in the above mentioned sectors is the 2025 universe vision. According to substantial reports, eco-friendly products can be refined from natural fiber composites. Tribological characteristics of NaOH treated chopped abaca fiber reinforced epoxy composites were discussed in this paper. Using compression moulding technique, NaOH treated chopped abaca fiber reinforced epoxy composites were fabricated by varying the abaca fiber volume fraction to 10 wt%, 15 wt%, 20 wt%, and 25 wt%. Pin-on-disk wear testing machine is used in this study for the dry sliding wear test at different loads of 10N, 15N and 20N. The wear test sample results were compared with neat epoxy composites. The composites containing abaca fiber shows better tribological characteristics than the neat epoxy composites. The investigation results shows that wear results of the composites can be very much influenced by the speed, sliding distance and applied load. 25wt% of abaca fibre volume fraction composites was found to be the optimum value.

This paper describes effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness for turning of aluminium alloy 7050 using carbide cutting tool with dry cutting condition. The model is developed based on cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut as the parameters of cutting process. The selection of cutting process was based on the design of experiments Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The objective of this research is finding the optimum cutting parameters based on surface roughness. The relation between cutting parameters and surface roughness were discussed.
