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.

Development of Doum Palm Fiber-Based Building Insulation Composites with Citric Acid/Glycerol Eco-Friendly Binder

Journal of Composites Science, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9(2), P. 67 - 67

Published: Feb. 2, 2025

This study focuses on the development of an insulation biocomposite using Doum palm (Chamaerops humilis) fibers reinforced with a natural binder based citric acid and glycerol. The main objective is to optimize thermal conductivity mechanical properties as function fiber preparation (short or powdered fibers) content (20%, 30% 40%), relate them bonding binder. obtained results suggest that addition greatly enhances density, compressive strength Young’s modulus biocomposites. More specifically, 20% by weight acid/glycerol improves bond between fibers, whether they are short powders. leads increase in properties, reaching (212.1) MPa at (24.3) MPa. On other hand, show these biocomposites also have acceptable performance, achieving (0.102) W/(m·K), making suitable for variety applications sustainable buildings refurbishment.

Physical properties of isolated cellulose fiber from jute and banana fiber through kraft pulping: Potential applications in packaging and regenerated fibers

SPE Polymers, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 5(4), P. 709 - 717

Published: Aug. 19, 2024

Abstract Cellulose, a naturally abundant biopolymer, holds great potential as sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers. However, the limited understanding and awareness surrounding cellulose utilization, particularly from agricultural origins, have impeded complete harnessing of this highly biodegradable resource. This study aimed extract characterize jute banana The extracted exhibits light yellow white color, microscopic analysis fibers showed micro‐fibrils. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) characterization indicated that biomass primarily consists II structures, except for treated fiber ( M : L = 1:8), which contains both I II. Moreover, increasing ratio alkali treatment enhanced percentage cellulose‐II, observed XRD data. findings carry significant implications efficient production fibers, with diverse applications spanning high‐volume products like regenerated automotive parts, packaging, absorbent (diapers), textiles, precast concrete, drug delivery mediums, electronics, additive manufacturing, bone tissue scaffolding, so on. research opens door derived in various industries. Highlights Extraction using kraft process. Isolated shows micron‐sized structure. Optimal extraction achieved 1:4. Applications isolated cellulose:
