“…Oliver-Ortegar et al [133] reported a study in which authors have used cellulose as a reinforcing nanofibre network in a polymer matrix and have reported that the resulting composite showed excellent mechanical properties. In another study [134], recycled cotton fibres from textile waste were used to substitute glass fibres in composites materials. The flexure strength analysis of this bio composite showed promising results and demonstrated the possibility of replacing glass fibres with cotton fibres, thus reducing the carbon emissions related to production of glass fibres.…”

Epoxy clay nanocomposites have been proven to have improved mechanical, thermal and physical properties over pristine matrix. Thus, the fields of application of epoxy–clay nanocomposites along with their hybrid glass/carbon fibre reinforced composites have grown tremendously during the last few decades. The present review paper covers the research work performed on epoxy clay nanocomposites. It includes the influence of the processing techniques and parameters on the morphology of the nanocomposite, the methods of characterization and the effects of adding nanoclay on the mechanical and physical properties of composite. The improvements in the liquid barrier properties brought about by the addition of nanoclay platelets to epoxy resin are discussed. The variation of physical and mechanical properties with nanoclay type and content are reviewed along with the effects of moisture uptake on these properties. The advances in the development, characterization and applications of hybrid glass fibre reinforced epoxy–clay nanocomposites are discussed. Findings of the research work on the influence of nanoclay addition and exposure to water laden atmospheres on the behaviour of the hybrid glass fibre epoxy–nanoclay composites are presented. Finally, the potential health and environmental issues related to nanomaterials and their hybrid composites are reviewed.

“…Espinach et al ( 2022) examined the flexural strength of polypropylene composite materials with textile waste cotton fiber added. When the flexural strengths of the samples are examined, it is seen that both the samples with and without compatibilizers have good enough properties to replace glass fiberreinforced composite materials [30]. Hussain et al (2022) measured the hardness and friction coefficient values of waste cotton, which they added to polypropylene in different weight ratios.…”

The use of natural fillers in polymers is a common method used to improve the properties of polymers. Natural fillers can be of plant or animal origin and provide several advantages over polymers. Although natural fillers are mostly used to reduce costs, they also affect other thermal, mechanical and physical properties. The use of natural fillers in polymers is a way to develop a sustainable and environmentally friendly material. Natural fillers are derived from renewable resources and their production requires less energy and resources than the production of synthetic fillers. Wood sawdust is a waste material that occurs extensively in the wood processing industry. Its easy-to-apply nature makes it an ideal choice for a variety of applications. In this study, waste pine wood sawdust was used as filler in the composite. Along with sawdust, waste cotton was also added to the composite. Recycled Polypropylene was preferred as the matrix material. Composite samples were prepared with extrusion and injection molding methods. Melt flow rate (MFI),density, Izod impact strength tests of the samples were performed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images taken from the broken surfaces were analyzed. As a result of the study, it was evaluated that pine sawdust and waste cotton would be used in polypropylene-based composite applications.
