Enhancing performance of Prosopis juliflora fiber reinforced epoxy composites with silane treatment and Syzygium cumini filler

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 31, P. 93 - 108

Published: June 10, 2024

The utilization of natural fibers and fillers in composite materials has gained significant attention for their potential to enhance mechanical, thermal, tribological properties while promoting sustainability. In this study, Prosopis juliflora fiber (PJF) reinforced epoxy composites, treated with silane incorporating Syzygium cumini filler (SCF), were investigated assess performance across various parameters. composites subjected comprehensive tribological, thermo-gravimetric, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), 3D profilometer, morphology studies elucidate the effects treatment SCF content on properties. results mechanical characterization revealed improvements tensile strength, impact microhardness silane-treated higher compared untreated samples those lower content. Specifically, ST/SCF3 exhibited highest values, a strength 118.65 ± 4.63 MPa, 27.83 1.96 kJ/m2, 91.63 2.84 HV. Tribological analysis indicated enhanced wear resistance reduced coefficient friction content, demonstrating lowest loss (62 μm) frictional force (5.2 N). Thermal improved thermal stability particularly ST/SCF1 formulations, suggesting increased temperature-induced degradation.

Characterizing Cryptostegia grandiflora stem fiber for reinforcing lightweight polymer composites: A comprehensive study of its physical, chemical, and thermal properties

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Part E Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: June 5, 2024

This study aimed to characterize Cryptostegia grandiflora stem fiber (CGSF) as a potential reinforcement material for lightweight polymer composites. Natural fiber-reinforced materials have gained attention promising alternative synthetic fibers due their comparable strength and modulus, lack of harmful chemicals. The physical, chemical, thermal properties CGSF were investigated through roughness, chemical measurement, physical Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, XRD, water absorption, thermogravimetric analysis, SEM conformation analysis. results showed that has high cellulose content (80.3 wt.%) specific strength, making it suitable use in Its flaky layered outer surface provides its low microfibril angle observed electron microscopy strong bonding qualities. also demonstrated improved heat stability up 254–387 °C meeting the requirements polymerization.
