“…The thermal conductivity and diffusivity of chemically treated composites having volume ratio of MSW and banana fiber as 50: 50 are found to increase by 25% and 24% compared to untreated MSW/banana fiber composites (50:50). The fiber–matrix adhesion in the composites is clearly observed from the SEM micrographs (Figure ) . In untreated composites, cavities are clearly identified and the nature of failure is brittle fracture (Figure a).…”

“…The 100% MSW composites show lower values of thermal conductivity compared to 100% banana fiber composites. This is due to the lower thermal conductivity of MSW constituent compared to banana fiber . Raw MSW particles show the presence of some flaky structure and pores which lead to low thermal conductivity.…”

“…The procedure for chemical treatment of MSW and banana fiber is explained as follow. MSW/banana fiber was dipped in NaClO/H 2 O solution in 1:1 proportion under heating for 4 h. Consequently, the samples were cleaned with distilled water and dried in a hot air oven (60°C) for 24 h . The effect of chemical treatment on the MSW and banana fiber for their thermal properties of composites at constant filler loading of 50% V f are given in Table .…”

The thermal and dielectric properties of municipal solid waste (MSW)/banana fiber composites were investigated as a function of total volume fraction of filler (MSW+ banana fiber). The relative volume fraction of MSW/banana fiber and its chemical modification was also investigated. The total volume fraction (Vf) of filler is established by keeping the relative volume fraction of MSW and banana fiber as 50:50. The thermal conductivity of composites decreases with increase of filler ratio. Subsequently, composites with different volume ratios of MSW and banana fiber (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100) were prepared by keeping total Vf of filler as 50%. Low thermal conductivity and diffusivity values were obtained in composites with an MSW and a banana fiber ratio as 50:50. Moreover, chemically modified filler composites show decrease in dielectric constant, dielectric loss factor and an increment in volume resistivity. Experimental dielectric constant values are correlated with theoretical models. © 2016 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 36: 468–475, 2017

Composites are primarily made using matrix and reinforcement as major components but may also contain several other fillers or additives. A majority of the composites are made using synthetic fibers and polymers. However, in the last few decades, focus has been on developing biocomposites using renewable resources. Conventionally, biocomposites are developed using natural fibers such as jute, Kenaf, or Ramie as reinforcement and synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene and epoxy as matrix. Typically, biocomposites contain either the reinforcement or matrix which makes the composites partially degradable. Such partially degradable composites provide good properties, but the presence of a nonbiodegradable component, particularly as a matrix limits their biodegradability. Alternatively, composites that contain both the matrix and reinforcement from renewable resources which make the composites completely degradable have also been developed. However, these completely biodegradablebiocomposites do not have the desired mechanical properties and stability at high humidities or in aqueous environments which restricts their application. In addition, natural fibers and resins used in biocomposites have inherent limitations and also not easily processable. To overcome limitation of using a single reinforcement or matrix derived from bioresources, hybrid composites that contain more than one reinforcement or matrix are developed. Such hybrid composites are manufactured by either intimately mixing two or more fibers or other reinforcing materials or by placing different layers of the reinforcement and molding them into composites using one or more resins. Conventionally, hybrid composites refer to metallic and ceramic based reinforcement, matrix and fillers. Although hybrid biocomposites are gaining significant attention, the presence of multiple reinforcements and/or matrix makes it difficult to process and also to predict the properties of such composites. Hence, understanding the properties and potential of using multiple reinforcements and/or matrix materials from renewable resources to develop biobased hybrid composites is highly desirable. This article discusses hybrid composites that contain a major proportion of renewable materials. Hybrid composites not only provide better properties but could also lead to substantial cost reduction due to the incorporation of inexpensive raw materials. These composites show potential for use in aeronautical, sporting goods, wind power turbine blades, helmets and civil construction such as pedestrian bridges and many other applications. This review provides an overview of the biobased materials used to develop hybrid composites, their processability and their potential applications. POLYM.

Insists of polymer matrix composite is prepared by using natural fiber facilitates high tensile, flexural, and impact toughness properties. The natural fiber utilization in the polymer matrix can overcome the synthetic fiber demerits of poor compatibility, high moisture absorption, and high cost. The present research investigates developing a low‐cost, environmentally eco‐friendly epoxy hybrid composite using different volume percentages of chopped natural waste banana (0Vol%, 5Vol%, 10Vol%, and 15Vol%) and sisal fiber (0Vol%, 15Vol%, 10Vol%, and 5Vol%) through hand mould hot compression technique. The presence of natural waste banana and sisal fiber on tensile strength, flexural strength, and thermal adsorption properties of the epoxy hybrid composite are evaluated by ASTM test standards. The ASTM standard measured test results of epoxy hybrid composite with and without natural waste banana and sisal fiber were compared and sample three was identified by good tensile strength, flexural strength, and better thermal adsorption properties compared to all others. The sample three epoxy hybrid sample is recommended for automotive roof application.
