“…The banana and hemp fiber as reinforcements lead to efficient stress transfer helps to improve the mechanical properties. Similar observations are made by Johnson et al [27]. Further addition of weight fraction of banana/hemp fiber (25%) does not show any effect on sliding speed and may result in plastic deformation.…”

The global energy crises and environmental pollution have encouraged investigators, scientist, and engineers to develop a substitute material for the conventional material. Since the availability of the natural fibers is abundant, many researchers in the worldwide are focusing their attention on the improvement of natural fiber-reinforced composites, which act as a substitute material for the synthetic natural fibers. This work examines the study of mechanical and tribological properties of tensile, flexural, impact, wear rate, and friction coefficient of the banana/hemp hybrid composites, which are calculated with the aid of NaOH-treated composite specimens. Composites were fabricated for various wt.% of the fiber content, different length of the fiber and matrix. Surface morphology of the fractured specimen of the alkali-treated fibers composites is studied by using SEM images. The effect of water absorption behavior on the mechanical properties of banana/hemp fiber composites was also determined.

The current trend in scientific researches is to improve the performance of mechanical and physical properties of polymeric compounds, one of these methods is to add nanoparticles to polymeric composites. In this work, the wear behaviour (pin to disc) of nanocomposites composed of vinyl ester reinforced glass fibers and nanoparticles was evaluated under three different factors, such as specimen content, load applied, and distance sliding using a sliding time constant, as well as studying the hardness shore for these nanocomposites. The (hand-lay) method was used for the purpose of preparing the nanocomposites from vinyl ester filled with 10% vf. glass fiber and (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% vf. of nano-Fe3O4 and ZrO2). The results are tabulated and analysed using Taguchi experiments (L9) (Minitab 18) for the purpose of determining which of the factors under consideration had the greatest influence on the wear behaviour. From the results, it was found that the specimens (vinyl ester-10% vf. glass fibers-2% ZrO2) and (vinyl ester-10% vf. glass fibers-2% Fe3O4) give the best wear resistance 0.003×10-5, 0.012×10-5 mm3/Nm respectively under the factors (load 20 N, sliding distance 45 cm). It was found that the specimen content is the most important factor influencing the wear behaviour, followed by the factors of the applied load and then the sliding distance. The addition of nanoparticles (0.5-2% vf. ZrO2, Fe3O4) to the vinyl ester resin improved the hardness values. Furthermore, the findings show that the addition of nanoparticles (ZrO2, Fe3O4) had a positive effect on the (wear and hardness) tests, implying that the nanoparticles improved the bonding between the base material and reinforcing material.

“…41 Conventional machining such as drilling, milling, turning on fibre composites develops more material failures in matrix and reinforcement. 42 Besides material properties, the machining parameters are also influenced by material failure. The orientation of natural fibre is crucial in affecting the cutting force.…”

Natural fibre composites are the promising replacement for synthetic fibre owing to their improved properties, and more importantly, natural fibres are biodegradable and of low cost. These characteristics have made them viable for contemporary engineering and structural applications. However, large scale production of natural fibre composites is in prone because of the challenges in manufacturing and machining. Fibre composite exhibits poor machinability characteristics owing to their heterogeneous and anisotropic behaviour. To overcome this problem, various steps and new methodologies have been established in the view to produce quality machining in natural fibre composites. In recent years, the possibility of conventional machining in natural fibre composites was also discussed. In the present review study, an effort has been taken in studying the fibre composite’s machining characteristics and their failure mechanism in both conventional and unconventional machining. The influence of process parameters in machining different natural fibre composites is also discussed.
