Investigation of lignocellulosic fibers in polymeric composites is important for development of green technologies, to reduce the weight and cost of materials and reduce pollutant emissions. In this work, the influence of piassava fiber length was evaluated to verify the mechanical response when incorporated in fiber-reinforced epoxy composites containing 20% piassava. Raw fibers were cut manually to lengths of 10, 20, and 30 mm. Tensile and flexural properties of the fiber-reinforced composites were compared. An increase in the fiber length was associated with higher tensile and flexural moduli and strength of piassava–epoxy composites, leading to stiffer and lesser ductile material.

This work deals with the investigation of mechanical properties and water absorption behavior of Calotropis Gigantea fiber reinforced epoxy composites prepared by using compression molding technique. The experiments were carried out by varying fiber length (10, 20, and 30 mm) and volume fraction (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30%). In addition to this, the water absorption behavior was analyzed at different climatic temperatures of 10℃, 40℃, and 70℃. The composites reinforced with 25% in volume of Calotropis Gigantea fiber showed better tensile, flexural, and impact properties. The hardness value and water absorption rate are higher for composites reinforced with 30% in volume of 30-mm Calotropis Gigantea fibers. Moreover, by increasing the bath temperature, the water absorption rate associated to this class of composite increases.
