Investigation on the Physicochemical and Mechanical Properties of Novel Alkali-treated Phaseolus vulgaris Fibers

B. Gurukarthik Babu et al.

Summary: This investigation studied the effect of NaOH treatment on PVFs. The optimal treatment time was found to be 45 min, resulting in higher cellulose content, crystallinity index, and lower hemicellulose and lignin contents in the treated fibers. The rough surface of PVFs makes them a potential reinforcement material for polymer composites.

Sustainable Development of Cissus Quadrangularis Stem Fiber/epoxy Composite on Abrasive Wear Rate

Jenish Iyyadurai et al.

Summary: The study discusses the specific wear rate of CQSF/epoxy with CSA composite, finding that filler significantly reduces specific wear rate at 5 wt.% CSA addition. Experimental results show that the influence of filler on specific wear rate is greater than other input parameters, followed by load, abrasive distance, and velocity.

Mechanical and Thermal Analysis of Cissus Quadrangularis Stem Fiber/Epoxy Composite with Micro-Red Mud Filler Composite for Structural Application

V. C. Sathish Gandhi et al.

Summary: In this study, CQSF-reinforced composite particulate filled with micro-red mud was fabricated and its mechanical and thermal behaviors were investigated. The results showed that the addition of red mud could improve the tensile and flexural strength of the material, but it decreased after a certain proportion, while the hardness increased gradually with the filler content. Meanwhile, the maximum energy absorption capacity was observed when 7.5wt% red mud was added.

Suitability examination of novel cellulosic plant fiber from Furcraea selloa K. Koch peduncle for a potential polymeric composite reinforcement

D. Divya et al.

Summary: This study identified a novel plant fiber from the peduncle of Furcraea selloa K. Koch and studied its anatomical, morphological, physico-chemical, thermal, mechanical and surface properties. The fiber showed desirable features such as good crystallinity, high cellulose content, low density, desirable thermal stability, and tensile property, making it a potential composite reinforcement. Morphological studies also revealed good surface roughness and suitable microfibrillar angle for fiber-matrix addition.

Utilization of discarded Cymbopogon flexuosus root waste as a novel lignocellulosic fiber for lightweight polymer composite application

Raja Somasundaram et al.

Summary: The feasibility of using CFR fiber waste as a reinforcing material in a polyester-reinforced composite was investigated. The study found that CFR fiber has a high cellulose content, resulting in increased tensile strength and thermal stability. The mechanical and water absorption properties of the composite were correlated to the glass fiber reinforced composite. The composite with 40% fiber content showed enhanced mechanical, morphological, and thermal characteristics. This study confirms the potential usage of this bio-material in replacing harmful synthetic materials in structural, marine, and mechanical industrial applications.

Comprehensive Characterization of Industrially Discarded Cymbopogon Flexuosus Stem Fiber Reinforced Unsaturated Polyester Composites: Effect of Fiber Length and Weight Fraction

Raja Soma Sundaram et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the use of Cymbopogon flexuosus stem fiber (CFSF) as a reinforcing material for unsaturated polyester composites, leading to enhanced mechanical properties. The optimal conditions were found to be a fiber content of up to 30 wt.% and fiber length of up to 40 mm, beyond which the properties declined. Incorporation of CFSF also improved water absorption rate and increased thermal stability of the composites.
