“…As stated in the previous study, the impact strength of pure epoxy was the lowest; however, the impact strength was enhanced by using PEFB as filler [50]. PW was used as filler in epoxy resin composites, although it did not affect the material's features and enhanced the manufacturing procedure.…”

Commercial products made of plastics or wood have always been in high demand until now. Consequently, waste from these products has increased, accumulated, and catastrophically impacted the environment. Through recycling, waste products are not only reduced but will also be easily available for improvement or manufacturing new products. This research focused on the fabrication of lightweight composites using plastic waste (PW) and wood waste (WW) as reinforcement and epoxy as a matrix suitable for tile applications. It was revealed that the density of PW-WW polymer composite increased with increasing PW loading up to a 4.0 ratio at 1.070 g/cm3 with a porosity of 0.05%. Optical microscope analysis at 100X magnification showed good bonding between the reinforcements (PW and WW) and matrix (epoxy). With a maximum bending strain of 2.41%, the 3.0 ratio achieved the highest bending strength of 2069.20 N, followed by the bending stress at 8.28 MPa. The PW-WW polymer composite with a composition ratio of 3.0 showed a maximum tensile force of 313.8 N and a tensile strength of 1.79 MPa. The composite with a 4.0 ratio had the greatest impact strength (1.67 kJ/m²), followed by the composite with a 3.0 ratio (1.44 kJ/m²). In summary, a 3.0 ratio is the best polymer composite composition for tile applications.

This study investigates the mechanical characteristics of Rice Husk fibers (RHF) blended Recycled Polyethylene (RPE) to produce RHF/RPE polymer composites for building partition applications. The main objective is to formulate various composition ratios of RHF blended with RPE to fabricate optimum physical and mechanical properties to produce an RHF/RPE polymer composite. The significance of this research lies in developing a green polymer composite using natural resource materials such as RHF, which holds potential applications in Malaysia. Various ratios of RHF (0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, and 1.0% by weight) were combined with RPE to create RHF/RPE polymer composites. The RHF fibers were processed into fine fibers measuring 0.5 ± 0.05 mm using a high-speed grinding machine operating at 18000 rpm. The process involved blending RHF with RPE using a Bra-blender machine with a pressure of 20 kPa and a temperature of 120℃. The results indicated the composition ratio of 0.4 wt./wt.% of RHF/RPE polymer composite demonstrated the optimum density (ASTM C20-00) at 715.74 cm2 and porosity at 1.02 g/cm2, highest tensile strength at 0.60 MPa at tensile strength (ASTM D638) with SEM microstructure analysis confirming well-reinforced bonding between RHF/RPE matrix. The bending test at 0.4 wt./wt.% achieved the highest bending strength at 27.17 MPa, with a maximum bending strain of 2.41%, and the impact test (ASTM D256) demonstrated the highest impact strength at 36.16 MPa with an impact modulus of 1.25 MPa. It can be concluded that the optimal composition for building partition applications is 0.4 wt./wt.% of RHF/RPE polymer composites.

“…Property losses have been observed in polymeric composites reinforced by plant fibers such as sisal [20], bamboo [21], flax [5], hemp [22,23], and jute [24]. The development of hybrid composites, where part of the fibers is synthetic and part is vegetable, is an alternative to overcome this issue [23][24][25][26][27]. Among the vegetable fibers, jute fibers excel in this application due to their widespread availability in numerous countries, cost-effectiveness, and possession of favorable mechanical properties [27,28].…”

The aim of this work is to analyze the effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties and damage mechanisms of polyester/glass fiber/jute fiber hybrid composites obtained using the compression molding and vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) techniques with different stacking sequences. For this purpose, the mechanical behavior under tensile stress of the samples was evaluated before and after hygrothermal aging at different temperatures: TA, 50 °C, and 70 °C for a period of 696 h. The damage mechanism after the mechanical tests was evaluated using SEM analysis. The results showed a tendency for the mechanical properties of the composites to decrease with exposure to an aqueous ambient, regardless of the molding technique used to conform the composites. It was also observed that the stacking sequence had no significant influence on the dry composites. However, exposure to the aqueous ambient led to a reduction in mechanical properties, both for the molding technique and the stacking sequence. Damage such as delamination, fiber pull-out, fiber/matrix detachment, voids, and matrix removal were observed in the composites in the SEM analyses.
