“…Coming to fibre physical characteristics such as coir fibre length, diameter and orientation are playing significant role in attaining mechanical properties. Proper fibre treatment and orientation were exhibiting better strength and lower hardness than random orientation [6]. In the work done by Kumar S and coauthors [7], the fibre loading and treatment seems to have a contradictory effect on mechanical properties.…”

Natural fibre reinforced polymer composites are often a better substitute to man-made fibre reinforced polymer composites because of their wide availability, economical, recyclability and biodegradability. In this paper, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites are made using coir/ fly ash as reinforcements. Influences of polymer types, natural fibre (coir) length and wt. % of fly ash on tensile and flexural behaviors are investigated. General purpose resin, Vinyl ester and Isophthalic resin are the different polymers used in making samples. The samples are prepared according to Taguchi Design of Experiments using L9 orthogonal array. To explore the significance of participating factors such as polymer type, natural fibre (coir) length and wt. % of fly ash on the tensile and flexural behaviors, ANOVA is implemented. Regression equations reveal that the type of polymer influences tensile and flexural behaviors more than that of natural fibre (coir) length and wt. % of fly ash. HIGHLIGHTS• Influence of Fly ash and Coir Fibre in mechanical performance of Polymer composite• Polymers exhibits varying performance in tensile and flexural loading• A threshold fly ash proportion has been limited to 5-10%.• Increasing fibre length shows improvement in strength whereas short fibre are good enough for modulus.

“…Cannabis Sativa is an annual plant with the form of many clumps of herbaceous plants that produces fiber from the bark of the stem, Cannabis Sativa fiber is classified as a strong and good fiber for textile raw materials because it has a structure similar to cotton fiber [18]. To take the fiber, the stems of the flax plant are harvested every two months and processed with a decorticator machine to produce crude fiber (china grass).…”

The development of composite materials in the engineering field is increasingly being used. This is due to its superior properties compared to conventional materials, such as the ratio between strength and density is quite high, rigid, the manufacturing process is very simple and resistant to corrosion and fatigue loads. The article determines the composition of the volume fraction and orientation of the fibers that have the most optimal tensile strength and impact on Sativa-Polyester Cannabis fibers. In this study, the fiber volume fraction was varied into 10%, 15%, 20% and the orientations were 0o , 30o, 45o, 60o and 90o .The method of making specimens in this study used a hand lay up with the ASTM tensile and impact test standards. The result indicates that the fiber volume fraction of 20% with the fiber orientation of 90o has the highest average tensile strength value of 30.56 MPa, compared to other variations. And the fiber volume fraction of 20% with a fiber orientation of 90o has the highest average value of impact strength, namely 493.6 Joules

Rheological behaviour is an important factor affecting the flow behaviour of a fluid and many aspects related to this, mainly in the manufacturing process of fiber reinforced composites, either for Newtonian fluids or non-Newtonian fluids. During impregnation process, the viscosity changes with temperatures and their strain rate, has influenced the resin flow behaviour during curing process. In this paper, a review on the rheological studies of fiber reinforced composites for both, synthetic and natural based fibers, respectively, are presented. In addition to that, this review paper highlighting a few research studies conducted in literature on the main factors that affecting the rheological quality and performance of the composites. The aims of this review, mainly to capture the trend ranging from the recent five years back and summarize the various studies via experimental, theoretical or modelling works. Furthermore, also aiming to provide an ideal baseline information in the selection of the methods regarding rheological study to ensure better quality of pre-preg product and fibre reinforced composites can be produced in the author’s future work.
