“…This is because of better fiber distribution in matrix, less fiber fractures and effective transfer of load from matrix to fibers at 60% fiber loading. The observed increase in flexural strength values with chemical modification and as well as with increase in fiber loading up to 60% is in good agreement with the results reported in literature 4,5,14,33 . The decrease in flexural strength values for untreated as well as chemically treated areca/epoxy composites beyond 60% fiber loading is due to poor interfacial adhesion and inefficient stress transfer from matrix to fibers 34 .…”

Natural areca fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide, potassium permanganate, benzoyl chloride and acrylic acid to improve interfacial adhesion between the areca fiber and epoxy resin and to fabricate areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites with improved mechanical properties. The untreated and chemically treated areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites were prepared with 40%, 50%, 60% and 70% fiber loadings. The investigation of flexural strength was done for all areca/epoxy composites. Untreated and chemically treated areca/epoxy composites with 60% fiber loading showed higher flexural strength values. The acrylic acid treated areca fiber reinforced epoxy composites with 60% fiber loading showed highest flexural strength values amongst all untreated and chemically treated areca/epoxy composites with same 60% fiber loading.

“…Few investigators studied the mechanical behavior of areca composites with 60% fiber loading and found to have a good flexural strength and adhesion tensile properties [4][5][6][7][8] . The tensile strength value of areca/epoxy and areca/polypropylene composites is improved when the areca fibers are treated with different concentrations of alkali [9][10] .…”

Natural fibres and biodegradable matrices are being considered nowadays as substitutes to synthetic fibre reinforced polymer composites mainly in sectors where high load carrying capacity and high strength are not prerequisites. Present study utilizes biodegradable matrix composite prepared by varying the weight of the base material (95-170 g), binder (5-10 g), and plasticizer (5-20 g) with treated areca frond fibres as reinforcement. Contents are transferred to a pneumatic press, compacted, and subjected to curing. Taguchi method with L8 orthogonal array was used to reduce the number of experiments. Specimens for the flexural tests are cut out from the prepared laminates and tests are performed using UTM. Maximum flexural strength of 16.97 MPa was obtained with a combination of base (170 g), binder (10 g), and plasticizer (5 g). Analysis of the results indicated that plasticizer has the maximum effect on flexural strength of the biodegradable composites.
