“…In terms of innovation and quality of materials, technology has formed new products derivative from wood, either in different forms or in combination with other materials, or by making wood-plastic composites (WPC) made up of wood waste and plastic material in the exploration of environmental welfares, and with better product performance [1][2][3]. Wood sawdust is substance significantly used in reinforcing polymer from both a technical and a marketable point of view [4,5]. Polymer composites are recommended for use in outdoor applications and marine infrastructures but composites have found numerous applications in aerospace, automotive, and construction industries owing to their lightweight, high specific strength, high specific stiffness, and other performance benefits [6,7].…”

Sawdust is a natural composite obtained from natural resources such as shrubs and trees and in a large amount from the wood industry as a waste. This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical and water absorption properties of alkaline-treated wood sawdust-reinforced polypropylene composite. The composites were manufactured by the melt-mixing method followed by compression molding with amounts of wood sawdust ranging from 10, 20, 30, and 40 to 50 wt. % by volume. The produced composites were characterized for their mechanical and water absorption characteristics. The results indicated that increasing the amount of wood sawdust content up to 40% improves the tensile, flexural, impact, and compressive strength of the composites but after the wood sawdust contents reach 40%, the mechanical properties of the composite were decreased. Water absorption rate has increased with an increase in the wood sawdust proportion; this is due to the presence of –OH groups on the surface of wood particles. From the result of this study, it can be also concluded that the optimal mechanical and water absorption properties were attained at 40% wood sawdust content. Therefore, sawdust can be used as filler and reinforcement in the PP matrix, which will reduce cost and give environmental benefits.

“…Tensile strength, hardness, and toughness of the composites were also evaluated for the reinforcement of recycled polypropylene (recycled PP) and groundnut shell powder consisting of two-particle sizes (0-250 μm and 250-420 μm) [5]. Unsaturated polyester/potash feldspar (UP/PF) composites containing various ratios of wood sawdust fiber (2, 4, and 6 phr) show that wood sawdust (WSD) fiber efficiently improves the mechanical properties of UP/PF/WSD composites and 6% of wood sawdust shows better tensile strength [6]. An investigation has also been done on the dynamic mechanical properties of composites made from groundnut shell powder and recycled high-density polyethylene [7].…”

Experimental research has investigated the mechanical characteristics and water absorption performance of polyethylene-based composites reinforced with sawdust, chicken feathers and groundnut shells. Composite samples have been produced with preset volumetric ratios (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) at 160°C and 25 kN pressure. A compression molding machine was used to produce specimens of composite materials. The findings indicate that the composites exhibit promising mechanical properties, making them potentially suitable for various applications. However, the waste polyethylene sheet was tested for comparison. It displayed a tensile strength of 7.56 MPa, impact strength with an average energy absorption of 0.093 J, and hardness strength with an average energy value of 92.72 J. The water absorbency data showed minimal water absorption for composite samples, indicating their resistance to water penetration. Similarly, the thickness swelling data revealed no significant change in thickness after immersion, demonstrating dimensional stability in the presence of moisture. This article presents the details of these experiments conducted systematically.

“…In previous studies, natural fiber materials from coconut fiber, wood powder, and clamshell have been developed as natural fiber composites for clutch pads, where the performance results show results that are close to the characteristics of genuine parts, it's just that the mixture of clamshell materials is still not optimal for the quality of the lining for quite a long time [13], [14]. The addition of aluminum and copper powder as reinforcement in coconut fiber and wood powder composites can improve mechanical properties and reduce wear [15]. This composite material is easy to obtain because it comes from waste.…”

Currently, research on natural fiber composites (NFC) for automotive applications has attracted the attention of researchers and academics. Natural fibers such as coconut fiber and wood powder are mixed with metal materials such as aluminum and copper to obtain the composite characteristics of automatic motorcycle clutch pad materials. Coconut fiber and wood powder are suitable natural materials for composites and are easily obtained from waste. Natural fiber materials with metal reinforcement into composites are expected to produce materials suitable for friction materials such as clutch pads and brake pads with a good characteristic. This study aims to determine the characteristics of the coefficient of friction, wear, and hardness of NFC materials reinforced aluminum and copper powder for the performance of automatic motorcycle clutch pads. Experiments were carried out on various compositions of aluminum and copper powder. Tribometer testing was carried out to determine the friction coefficient and wear. Hardness testing using the Vickers method and testing the performance of automatic motorbikes with a chassis dyno test. The results show that the performances of the clutch pad with NFC-reinforced aluminum and copper show power and torque results that resemble the performances of genuine part materials in each operating cycle. The value of friction coefficient, wear, and hardness of this material are a value close to that of a genuine part clutch pad material. The improved performance of this material is expected to be considered in the manufacture of future clutch pads.
