“…Following the dehydration of composite, a 10% weight loss is noticed at around 198°C succeeding a temperature‐resistant zone till 237°C. A notable weight loss is observed in the composite specimen F in the temperature range between 297 and 343°C 49 . The sudden weight loss observed at around 376°C indicates the degradation of cellulose in the reinforcement of the composite 50 .…”

“…It can be identified from the TGA curve that thermal degradation of the composite specimen F starts at 111 C where the humidity in the composite specimen starts to evaporate. 48 Following the dehydration of composite, a 10% weight loss is noticed at around 198 C succeeding a temperature-resistant zone till 237 C. A notable weight loss is observed in the composite specimen F in the temperature range between 297 and 343 C. 49 The sudden weight loss observed at around 376 C indicates the degradation of cellulose in the reinforcement of the composite. 50 Similar deprivation in weight for the same kind of polymer composites with natural fiber as reinforcement was found to be 309.2, 311.2, 301.2, and 321 C for kenaf, hemp, jute, and bamboo fibers respectively.…”

This work presents the comprehensive characterization of alkali treated areca fruit husk fiber (AAFHF) an industrial agro-waste reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrix hybrid composite with silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles as filler material. Hybrid composite plates were fabricated with 40 wt% of AAFHF and diverse wt% of SiC nanoparticles ranging from 1 to 4 wt% in steps of 1 wt%. The effect of wt% of SiC nanoparticles in hybrid composite over mechanical, morphological, wear, thermal and water absorption characteristics was investigated. The findings help to conclude that a hybrid composite plate with 3 wt% filler content excels in overall properties. Meanwhile, the accumulation and meager scattering of SiC nanoparticles in composite deteriorated the functional characteristics when the wt% of filler content enhanced to 4 wt%. Also, the failure pattern and interaction between AAFHF, SiC nanoparticle and UPR were understood from the images obtained using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In addition, the availability of functional groups, crystallite size and crystallinity index was obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis for the optimum filler content respectively. Moreover, the achieved results suggest the suitability of the developed composite for marine and lightweight applications.

“…The existence of acetyl cluster in lignin indicating the extending vibrations of C O bond is connected to the deep narrow trough visible at 1089 cm À1 . 42 The slight modulations observed in the frequency range between 1299 and 1563 cm À1 is attributed to the bending vibrations of CH and CO clusters signifying the existence of aromatic rings of polysaccharide. 43 These modulations were absent in PAACTPF indicating the disintegration of CH and CO clusters during pectinase treatment.…”

“…The characteristics of natural fiber reinforcements are highly influenced by its source from which it is obtained, in case of plant fibers, the geographical location in which it is grown, nature of plant as well as the physical part of plant from which the fiber is extracted. The mechanical characteristics of the polymer composites reinforced with natural fiber materials are highly dependent on interaction and bonding nature between the reinforced natural fiber material and the matrix used for preparation of the composite 5,6 . Weaker interfacial bonding characteristics between the reinforcement and the matrix leads to inferior mechanical characteristics of developed composite 7 .…”

This paper investigates thermo-mechanical, chemical, and morphological characteristics of alkali pretreated and enzyme treated Areca catechu tree peduncle fibers (ACTPFs) for probable reinforcement in polymer composites. ACTPFs were pre-treated with 0.4 M NaOH solution and treated with enzymes such as xylanase, laccase, and pectinase before investigations. Alkali pre-treated ACTPF (AACTPF) cum pectinase treated AACTPF (PAACTPF) exhibited maximum cellulose content 57.28 wt% and single fiber tensile strength 203.5 ± 22.12 MPa. Further, the crystallinity index and crystal size of PAACTPF was determined as 55% and 12.9 nm by x-ray diffraction analysis. Also, the prevalence of chemical bonds and thermal stability up to 233 C in PAACTPF was exposed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis and thermogravimetric analysis respectively. Moreover, the coarse surface of PAACTPF viewed through scanning electron microscope owing to removal of amorphous contents makes it a considerable counterpart for substitutional reinforcement to artificial fibers in polymer composites.

“…The natural fibre polymer composite was investigated by Manoharan et al using the Taguchi optimization approach, with the goal of identifying the ideal process parameter for natural fibre [8]. With the aid of the Taguchi optimization approach, Binoj et al examined the areca fruit natural polymer composite fibre process parameter optimization and determined the ideal process parameter [9]. Mannan et al did research on natural polymer composite for construction applications, and their findings produced a composition that was suitable for achieving a high level of mechanical strength [10,11].…”

In the emerging modern technology of additive manufacturing, the need for optimization can be found in literature in many places. Additive manufacturing (AM) is making an object layer by layer directly from digital data. Previous works of literature have classified additive manufacturing processes into seven types. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review describing the optimization challenges and opportunities in the material extrusion process (polymer technology) and also the need for FDM polymer materials application in impeller making. In this review paper, a specific optimization method called multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) from the mathematical programming technique used in additive manufacturing polymer technology (AMPT) is discussed. The other topics such as different types of optimization techniques, applications of different MCDM tools and their applications in different fields including AM, and the optimization challenges and opportunities in AMPT particularly impeller application are discussed.
