The present work investigates the tensile and flexural strength of natural banana fiber composites. Natural fibers have incontrovertible advantages over synthetic reinforcing materials such as non-toxicity, low density, low cost, comparable durability, and limited waste disposal issues. Banana fiber reinforced composites are being prepared in the current experiment and the strength properties of these composites have been evaluated. Using the hand lay-up process, the composite specimens with variable fiber lengths were prepared and pressed at room temperature. Mechanical testing such as tensile, flexural are applied to the specimens. Analysis of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) is performed to examine fiber matrix interfaces and to analyze the fractured surface structure

In the recent years natural fiber reinforced composites are increasingly receiving attention from the researchers and engineers due to their mechanical properties comparable to the conventional synthetic fibers and due to their ease of preparation, low cost and density, eco-friendliness and bio-degradability. Natural fibers such as kenaf or flux are being considered as a viable replacement for glass, aramid or carbon. Extensive experimental studies have been carried out to determine the mechanical behavior of different natural fiber types such as the elastic modulus, tensile strength, flexural strength and the Poisson’s ratio. This paper presents a review of the various experimental studies in the field of fiber reinforced composites while summarizing the research outcome about the elastic properties of the major types of natural fiber reinforced composites. Furthermore, the performance of a kenaf reinforced composite plate is demonstrated using finite element analysis and results are compared to a glass fiber reinforced laminated composite plate.

Nowadays, the utilization of natural fiber reinforced composite has increased frequently. These natural fibers have significant features like low cost, renewable, and, more importantly, biodegradable in nature, making them to be utilized for various industrial sectors. However, the massive demand for natural fiber reinforced composites (NFRC), forces them to be machined and operated, which is required for countless areas in multiple industries like automotive, marine, aerospace and constructions. But before obtaining the final shape of any specimen, this specimen should come across numerous machining processes to get the desired shape and structure. Therefore, the present review paper focused on the various aspects during conventional and unconventional machining of the NFRC. It covers the work by exploring the influence of all input variables on the outcome produced after machining the NFRC. Various methodologies and tools are also discussed in this article for reducing the machining defects. The machining of the NFRC is found as a challenging task due to insufficient interlocking between the matrix and fibers, and minimum knowledge in machining characteristics and appropriate input parameters. Thus, this review is trying to assist the readers to grasp a basic understanding and information during the machining of the NFRC in every aspect.

A study has been carried out to investigate the delamination and tensile properties of drilled composites made by reinforcing the natural fibers like hemp, jute, banana and vakka into a polyester resin matrix. The fibers extracted by retting and manual processes have been used to fabricate the composites. These composites are tested for delamination and tensile strength after drilling and compared with those of established composite like glass made under the same laboratory conditions. The Taguchi method with orthogonal array of L9 (34) was selected to realize the influence of the drilling parameters (cutting speed and feed rate) on delamination and tensile strength for various fiber reinforced composites. The results indicate that the delamination of the drilled natural fiber composites were in some cases better than those of glass fiber composites.

In early composite materials, the use of petroleum based fibers such as glass and carbon fibers, aramid etc. was common. In order to reduce the dependency on petroleum based sources and environmental pollution, researchers have focused on the search for alternative sources. Natural fibers are abundant, recyclable and biodegradable plant derived materials. Besides, thanks to good physical, thermal and mechanical properties, natural fibers become promising alternative for composites.

AbstractThe influence of flexible interlayers/interphases on the performance of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites is studied. Micromechanical analysis based on the embedded composite cylinders model is used to study the stiffness as well as the internal stress distributions within the matrix phase of composites. Based on the results of the analysis, a criterion is proposed for the selection of optimal interlayer thickness for fiber composites. The proposed criterion gives results which seem to correlate well with the experimental data published in the literature.

Conventional Manner

Continuous multi-filament boron nitride fibers have been prepared on a large scale using the melt drawn technique from a low-cost boracic acid. Boracic acid was heated to obtain the molten boric oxide in a melting tank. Molten boric oxide was melt spun in a conventional manner through an 200-tip bushing to produce a continuous multifilament yarn consisting of 200 filaments of boric oxide. Boric oxide fibers were nitrided in an ammonia and were annealed in an inert atmosphere while simultaneously subjecting the fibers to sufficient longitudinal tension as to at least prevent longitudinal shrinkage of the fibers. The resulting fibers, consisting essentially of boron nitride, were less than about 8 μm in diameter and greater than 500 m in length. It indicated that the boron nitride fibers has a sound mechanical function with tensile strength of 1.40 GPa. The continuous boron nitride fibers of high-performance were especially suitable for reinforcing plastic, ceramic or metal matrices in the preparation of fiber reinforced composites.
