“…As interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix, the volume fraction of fibers, individual strength of fiber are the factors that determine the coir fiber-reinforced composite properties (Walte et al , 2020). A similar trend was noticed in the Coir-Areca husk fiber composites reported by Padmaraj et al (2018).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the behavior of hybrid bio-composites under varied applications. Design/methodology/approach Fabrication methods and material characterization of various hybrid bio-composites are analyzed by studying the tensile, impact, flexural and hardness of the same. The natural fiber is a manufactured group of assembly of big or short bundles of fiber to produce one or more layers of flat sheets. The natural fiber-reinforced composite materials offer a wide range of properties that are suitable for many engineering-related fields like aerospace, automotive areas. The main characteristics of natural fiber composites are durability, low cost, low weight, high specific strength and equally good mechanical properties. Findings The tensile properties like tensile strength and tensile modulus of flax/hemp/sisal/Coir/Palmyra fiber-reinforced composites are majorly dependent on the chemical treatment and catalyst usage with fiber. The flexural properties of flax/hemp/sisal/coir/Palmyra are greatly dependent on fiber orientation and fiber length. Impact properties of flax/hemp/sisal/coir/Palmyra are depended on the fiber content, composition and orientation of various fibers. Originality/value This study is a review of various research work done on the natural fiber bio-composites exhibiting the factors to be considered for specific load conditions.

“…The same study has further claimed that with the increased fiber loading, more force is required for pulling-out the fibers, hence the impact strength increases. 144 Padmaraj et al 151 reported that alkali-treated coir fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites provided 22.2 kJ m −2 impact strength.…”

“…In the case of reinforced polymer composites, the hybridization of areca fibers with other fibers has been considered in this case. Compression molding has been used for the production of hybridization of areca husk-coir fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester and areca husk-sisal fiber reinforced epoxy composites [51,52]. On the other hand, the hot press method has been adopted to produce areca husk-glass fiber reinforced polyethylene composites.…”

This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments in the design of areca fiber composites. The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of areca fiber and its composites are explained here. The species of Areca fiber represents the Arecaceae/Palmae family (like the coconut/palm trees), with regard to its physical and mechanical properties. Researchers identified that areca fiber holds prospective applications as an alternative to reinforced polymer composites in the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries. Surveys on bio-softening, adhesion, the effects of fiber length, chemical treatments of long areca fibers, the influence of mercerization on the tensile strength of long and short areca fibers, and areca husk have been done. Several researchers have utilized various natural fibers in developing bio-composites. Furthermore, the reinforced composite of natural fiber is a prospective research area, considering its mechanical properties, tensile strength, lightweight, nominal pricing, biodegradable/eco-friendly nature, and ease of procuring raw materials compared to synthetic fiber-reinforced composites. However, little research has been done on areca leaf fibers as a feasible fiber. This chapter provides information on the development and investigation of the mechanical behaviour of a natural fiber-reinforced epoxy composite of areca fiber with various configurations of areca fiber orientation.
