“…They are derived from non-renewable resources than natural llers. As a result, the usage of natural llers may provide environmental bene ts, in addition to cost bene ts in some cases 5 . Acosta et al 6 investigated the mechanical and thermal characteristics of the Pecan Nutshell reinforced Poly(lactic acid) composites and found that in comparison to the clean resin, the biocomposites exhibited improved mechanical characteristics such as tensile and exural modulus, as well as fracture toughness.In accordance with the results of the dynamic mechanical study, it has been established that the stiffness of the biocomposites is enhanced when Pecan Nutshell is used.Mittal et al 7 investigated the Mechanical, Thermal, and Degradation characteristics of the Date Seed llers (DSF) reinforced poly-L-lactide composites.…”

The need of eco-friendly materials has been attracted due to renewability, abundance availability, low cost, and so on. Therefore, the search for bio llers for the production of bio-based composite materials is gaining more and more attention in both academic and industry circles because it promotes sustainability. The present study represents the utilization of biomass solid waste in the hybrid form of tamarind seed and date seed powder into polymer reinforced composite which has been explored for the rst time by a compression molding technique. These llers are bio-waste that can be obtained at a minimal cost from renewable sources. An attempt has been made to use these hybrid llers to reinforce with the matrix ranging from 0 to 50 wt.%, and their physical, mechanical, and thermal properties were investigated. In general, the inclusion of hybrid llers increases mechanical properties, although the addition of hybrid llers had only a minor impact on thermal properties. When compared to the pure vinyl ester resin, the hybrid llers reinforced composites revealed a signi cant improvement in tensile, exural, impact, and hardness properties, with improvements of 1.51 times, 1.44 times, 1.87 times, and 1.46 times respectively, at 10 wt.% ller loading. Filler matrix interaction of fractured mechanical testing samples was analyzed by scanning electron microscope. Based on the ndings, hybrid ller reinforced composites may be suitable for applications where cost is a consideration and where minor compromises in thermal qualities are acceptable.

“…In this research work, the PALF fibers were chosen as one of the reinforcement materials due to their noncarcinogenic nature and affordability. 15 The ramie fibers were chosen by another reinforcement material, because of material holding capability and low shrinkage effect. For the first time, this work investigates the PALF and ramie hybrid fiber reinforced hybrid composite hardness strength, wear, and erosion properties.…”

In this work, pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) and ramie hybrid fiber‐reinforced epoxy composite samples were evaluated for their hardness strength and resistance to dry slide wear and air jet erosion. Primary reinforcement using the hybrid material was chosen from different lengths (10, 15, 20, and 25 mm) and weight percentages (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%). The hardness strength of the hybrid composite varied from 74 to 97 Shore D hardness strength. A dry sliding wear test was conducted with the key parameters of load (20, 30, and 40 N), time (20, 10, 7 min), and speed (160, 320, and 479 rpm). By using the data analyzing software, Taguchi optimization method, the key contribution parameters were identified. In the air jet erosion experiment, impact angle (45°, 60°, and 90°), erodent velocity (28, 41, and 72 m/s), and discharge rate (1, 2.5, and 3.3 g/min) parameters were used. Fiber and matrix materials agglomeration effect and bonding behavior were identified by using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The 20 mm length with 30% of the PALF and ramie hybrid fiber‐reinforced composite sample achieved high hardness strength (97 shore D) and created a high resistance toward wear and erosion studies.Highlights Natural plant pineapple leaf and ramie fibers are mixed with an epoxy matrix. Used Taguchi analysis to determine the means and signal‐to‐noise ratios Different weight percentages of the PALF and ramie hybrid composites Dry sliding wear and air jet erosion studies are conducted. Individual parameter contributions were identified.

“…Moreover, the addition of fillers to the polymer matrix is to modify the properties of the base polymer and improves its mechanical properties [48][49][50]. Among the natural fillers that are often used are oil palm empty bunch fiber [51,52], coconut fiber [53,54], jute [55,56], pineapple leaves [57,58], sugar palm fiber [59,60] and rice husk [61][62][63][64].…”

Membrane separation processes are prevalent in industrial wastewater treatment because they are more effective than conventional methods at addressing global water issues. Consequently, the ideal membranes with high mechanical strength, thermal characteristics, flux, permeability, porosity, and solute removal capacity must be prepared to aid in the separation process for wastewater treatment. Rubber-based membranes have shown the potential for high mechanical properties in water separation processes to date. In addition, the excellent sustainable practice of natural fibers has attracted great attention from industrial players and researchers for the exploitation of polymer composite membranes to improve the balance between the environment and social and economic concerns. The incorporation of natural fiber in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) as filler and pore former agent enhances the mechanical properties, and high separation efficiency characteristics of membrane composites are discussed. Furthermore, recent advancements in the fabrication technique of porous membranes affected the membrane’s structure, and the performance of wastewater treatment applications is reviewed.
