Mechanical, machinability and water absorption properties of novel kenaf fiber, glass fiber and graphene composites reinforced with epoxy

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(1)

Published: Dec. 2, 2024

This paper aims to fabricate a novel kenaf fiber, glass graphene composite reinforced with epoxy, and study its water absorption, mechanical machining properties. Natural fiber composites seek numerous applications nowadays due high strength is weight ratio, impact resistance, thermal stability, recyclability. The literature on natural indicates lack of research Kenaf fibers E-glass in conjunction 0.5% 1.0% graphene. Hence, this focuses percentage composition was varied as 0.5%, 1.0%, by the holding matrix with/without incorporation fiber. Suitable surface modifications were done treating fibres NaOH for better adhesion fibre epoxy resin. Sonication Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) treatments also realize fine scattering order achieve behaviour. Moulds prepared per D-638 ASTM standards. treated then arranged mould conventional hand layup technique. main objectives are conduct tensile, flexural, Impact, machinability, FTIR test. Result shows that showed an increase tensile strength, flexural absorption properties 27.7%, 53%, 15% average, respectively. used find their use potential such defence, biomedical aids, automobiles, packaging, actuators, etc. These often generate great interest, whenever there demand fabricating lightweight material.
