To date, nonwoven fabrics made with natural fibres and thermoplastic commingled fibres have been extensively used in the composite industry for a wide variety of applications. This paper presents an innovative study about the effect of the manufacturing parameters on the mechanical behaviour of flax/PP nonwoven reinforced composites. The mechanical properties of nonwoven fabric reinforced composites are related directly to the ones of dry nonwoven reinforcements, which depend strongly on the nonwoven manufacturing parameters, such as the needle-punching and areal densities. Consequently, the influence of these manufacturing parameters will be analysed through the tensile and flexural properties. The results demonstrated that the more areal density the nonwoven fabric has, the more the mechanical behaviour can be tested for composites. By contrast, it has a complex influence on needle-punching density on the load-strain and bending behaviours at the composite scale.

Composites based on natural fibre reinforcement have generated wide research and engineering interest in the last few decades due to their small density, high specific strength, low cost, light weight, recyclability and biodegradability and has earned a special category of ‘green composite'. Here, in our proposed research, wood dust reinforced epoxy composite was processed with different % filler weight primarily. For this, natural filler based epoxy composite from wood dust is developed and its mechanical behaviour, including Tensile, Flexural, Density etc., under various testing conditions and % of filler weight were studied. These samples were simultaneously tested for abrasive wear and friction coefficient measurement. Microstructure of the composites was studied to analyze the distribution of the filler in the epoxy matrix change using scanning electron microscopy.

This paper deals with the testing of tensile and flexural behaviour of epoxy-reinforced natural fibre composites, for which Banyan fibres have been selected as the natural fibre. Variations are made in the orientation of the fibres to determine which orientation made the composite the strongest. The fibre strands are arranged in different orientations, such as the uniaxial, biaxial and criss-cross arrangements, to differentiate between the orientations and observe which arrangement exhibited the best mechanical behaviour. The fibres are initially washed with 0.5% weight/volume (w/v) NaOH solution, following which specimens of the composites are made using wooden moulds designed according to ASTM standards. Biaxial layers of E-glass are incorporated into the matrix in an attempt to enhance the mechanical properties of the specimen. The variances observed in the Young’s modulus are analysed to understand the factors that majorly impacted it. For a better understanding of the results, the chemical functional groups and the microstructure of the samples are analysed with the aid of Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and X-Ray powder Diffraction (XRD). Additionally, predictive models are simulated using Artificial and Deep Neural Networks to recognise patterns in the data, by varying specific parameters. The results obtained indicated that Banyan fibre composites can replace conventionally-used materials and serve real-world purposes better.

Natural fibres obtained from plant sources are attractive as a replacement for glass fibres in fibre reinforced plastic composites because of their environmental benefits. However, unlike synthetic fibres, natural plant fibres show considerable variability in their mechanical properties due to the effects of climate, soil quality, time of harvest, etc. Variability in properties of the fibres translates into variability in the properties of products made from natural fibre composites and this is a major obstacle to the more widespread use of these materials. One way to accommodate fibre variability would be to test the mechanical behaviour of samples from incoming batches of fibres and assign a grade to each batch, which could then be taken into account when the fibres are subsequently used to produce composite products. However, conventional methods of determining mechanical behaviour require test samples of constant cross-sectional area but, unfortunately, this is not the case for natural fibres which vary in shape, width and lumen size, from place to place along the fibre. Insight as to how to deal with such variability is provided from the textiles industry where strength is determined as a function of linear mass density rather than cross-sectional area. This paper examines the feasibility of using a similar approach for grading natural fibres for use in natural fibre composite products.
