“…Despite the fact that there are factors that could stop the wide use of composite materials such as: high costs, elaborated research, lack of testing standards, the advantages of using these materials, in the long term, will establish, worldwide, a considerable increase in applications created from composite materials. Composite materials became the first to allow researchers to modify their internal structure, both by combining them at the molecular level and in preferential directions with the aim of obtaining clearly superior properties to the original materials [7][8][9]. Thus, the diversity of composite materials, their properties and behaviours are limited only by the imagination of human nature, giving a multitude of possibilities, of associations, of course, taking into account the performances and costs defined as research objectives [10][11][12].…”

The main objective of this paper is to realise a review on fundamental research regarding the development of new and efficient methods to determine the mechanical, thermal, tribological, and thermo-mechanical properties of composite materials, analysing the results obtained through various graphs and diagrams accompanied by demonstrations and explanations from the specialized literature. Developing new materials or improving the properties of existing materials has been and is a concern of researchers. The chemistry of complex combinations represents one of the most important fields of scientific research, both in terms of theoretical investigations and practical applications. The interest shown towards complex combinations is justified by the contribution brought by the accumulation of knowledge about inorganic chemicals, polymers as well as about epoxy resins and polyvinyl ester, of course also about the design, formation and analysis through mechanical tests (compression, tension, three-point bending), thermal, tribological of composite materials modified with various modifying agents.

The development of eco-friendly materials is a challenging one in the research field. Natural fibers are more accessible, biodegradable, inexpensive, and less dense. They offer fewer health risks and are eco-friendly compared to synthetic fibers. Natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites are new, eco-friendly materials with excellent mechanical and practical applications. Adding biofillers to composites improves strength and will replace synthetic materials. Utilizing cellulose as a filler for a natural starch matrix is an effective way to reduce the environmental impact of non-biodegradable materials. This study covers the influence of natural Borassus flabellifer flower microcrystalline cellulose (BFF MCC) fillers on banana fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic peaks at 2357, 1730, and 1245 cm -1 were absent. This indicates that the amorphous proportion of banana fiber mat/BFF MCC-reinforced hybrid composites decreased. At 1% BFF MCC, thermogravimetric examination revealed an increase in the peak temperature of maximum degradation (389.6 °C). The hybrid banana composite’s tensile strength (31.36 ± 4.39 to 39.83 ± 3.07 MPa) and flexural strength (71.05 ± 2.66 to 82.4 ± 1.66 MPa) were also improved after adding 3% BFF MCC as filler material. The primary objective is to evaluate the suitability of fiber-reinforced hybrid polymers with natural fillers for future engineering applications such as automotive parts, construction materials, 3D printing, etc. In addition, this study investigated how the reinforcement of microcrystalline cellulose can result in a material with enhanced performance as well as its mechanical characteristics (XRD, FTIR, TGA, and SEM characterization).
