TL;DR: In this article, the potential use of natural fibers in composite materials, their availability, processing features, mechanical and physical properties, and some of their applications in India are discussed, focusing on the potential application of natural fiber in composite composite materials.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical properties of the fibers extracted from the areca fruit are determined and compared with the other known natural fiber coir, and these areca fibers were chemically treated and the effect of this treatment on fiber strength is studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of arctic condition on the compressive response of ceno-sphere/epoxy syntactic foams are investigated, which is critical for exploring their suitability for constructing lightweight platforms used in arctic explorations, which are exposed to subzero temperatures for extended periods of time potentially degrading their mechanical properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, a composite chitosan hydrogel reinforced with Hydroxyapatite nanorods (HANr) was developed and characterized to develop and characterize (physically, chemically, mechanically, and biologically) the composite hydrogels loaded with different concentration of HydroxyAPatite Nanorod.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of arctic conditions on the flexural response of cenosphere/epoxy syntactic foams is investigated, and the results showed that an increase in flexural modulus can be observed at room temperature with increasing cenosphere volume content for both untreated and treated chenosphere reinforced syntactic foam.
