Nowadays, Natural Fiber Reinforced composites (NFCs) are emerging to be a good substitute for synthetic fiber reinforced composites as NFCs have many advantages such as low density, high specific strength, recyclability, low cost and good sound abatement quality etc. Among all types of NFCs, a vast study has been done on banana fiber and kenaf fiber reinforced composite. However, only limited work has been done on the banana fabric, kenaf fiber reinforced composite and the effect of their hybridization on mechanical properties. In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the mechanical properties of the banana fabric, kenaf fiber and hybrid banana fabric/kenaf fiber reinforced composites. Effect of alkali treatment on kenaf fiber reinforced composite is discussed in the paper. For the present work, plain-woven banana fabric and randomly oriented kenaf fiber are used as reinforcement while the epoxy resin is used as a matrix. samples are fabricated using hand lay-up and vacuum bagging method. Curing is done at ambient temperature (250C-300C) for 48h. Tensile, impact and hardness test has been performed on a specimen according to ASTM standards. Improvement in mechanical properties is observed after alkali (6% NaOH) treatment on kenaf fiber reinforced composite. Tensile testing behavior of randomly oriented kenaf fiber composite has been studied using Finite element method and results are compared with experimental investigations. This topic present big potential because it seeks to find solution for sustainable development with environmental concerns.

The longitudinal compression strength of single-directional fiber-reinforced composite is related to many factors, such as the mechanical properties, the fractions of components, and the distribution of flaws. There are no abroad and uniform opinions about its longitudinal compressing break mechanism yet. Thus, a review of recent developments in the compression strength mesomechanical forecasting models of single-directional fiber-reinforced composites is presented. The damage mechanisms based by these models and the affecting factors considered in them are analyzed. The application conditions of each models are shown, and the model choosing method of combining experiment and theoretical analyze is suggested.

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.

The inspection of thin basalt fiber reinforced composite materials was carried out using two nondestructive methods: terahertz time domain imaging and infrared thermography. In order to combine the information about the defects arising in examined materials the inspection results were parametrized. In order to acquire more information content, new approximation based features are proposed. Then, a knowledge extraction based multivariate analysis of preselected features’ vector was carried out. Finally, in order to integrate features distributions of representing different dynamic level of information, a multiresolution wavelet based data fusion algorithm was applied. The results are presented and discussed.

ABSTRACT Aim To make use of fiber-reinforced composite and the patient's own extracted teeth in fabricating a provisional restoration following immediate implant placement. Background Fiber-reinforced composites offer various possibilities in temporization of osseointegrating implants in the esthetic zone. Technique In this chairside technique, the patient's own extracted teeth with fiber-reinforced composite were used to fabricate a provisional restoration after immediate implant placement. Conclusion A putty index was made before extracting the teeth and placing the implants as planned. The index and crowns of the extracted teeth were used to make a nonloading, esthetic, chairside provisional restoration after immediate implant placement. Clinical significance By using the patient's own teeth for provisionalization immediately after implant placement, acceptance is greatly enhanced.

Sereni stem fiber, due to low weight and high tensile strength was selected as backbone for graft copolymerization with binary vinyl monomeric mixture to explore its effect on percentage grafting, properties and the behavior of the modified fiber. The graft co-polymers were reinforced in a phenoplast matrix to form fiber reinforced composites and were characterized by XRD, TGA, DTA, SEM and FTIR techniques. Moisture absorbance, chemical resistance in acid and base and assessment of flexural strength, young's modulus, stress at the limit of proportionality, and hardness of the composite were studied in comparison to the phenoplast.
