Physical, Chemical, and Mechanical Characterization of Natural Bark Fibers (NBFs) Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Bibliographic Review

Sivasubramanian Palanisamy et al.

Summary: The interest in using bark fibers in materials is mainly due to circular economy considerations, as they are byproducts or waste from other sectors. By using bark fibers, the amount of refuse can be globally reduced and replaced with other materials in the production of composites. In order to promote their application in polymer composites, bark fibers are chemically treated and their chemical composition, thermal properties, and mechanical performance are investigated.

Natural Fillers as Potential Modifying Agents for Epoxy Composition: A Review

Natalia Sienkiewicz et al.

Summary: Epoxy resins are important organic matrices with unique properties, making them widely used in composite industries. Recent studies have focused on using green fillers, such as post-agricultural waste powder and natural fibers, as reinforcement for epoxy resins instead of non-biodegradable fillers. The advantages of natural fillers include sustainability, low cost, wide availability, and biodegradability, which align with the current environmental concerns. The development and progress of green products based on epoxy resin and natural fillers have been increasing due to their desirable properties.

Characterization study of Holoptelea integrifolia tree bark fibres reinforced epoxy composites

B. Balasubramanian et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanical characteristics and structural features of a composite plate fabricated by reinforcing an epoxy matrix with alkaline-treated Holoptelea integrifolia tree bark fibre. The results show that the mechanical properties of the pure resin improve with increasing fibre content, but the impact properties are higher for a composite with a 30% fibre mass ratio. The composite materials are characterized using various techniques, including FTIR, FESEM, EDAX, and TGA-DSC analysis. The results indicate excellent bonding between the fibre and matrix, and reveal the elemental composition and thermal behavior of the composites.
