TL;DR: In this paper, the sisal fiber is treated with specific concentration of sodium oxidanide in distilled water and the bio epoxy is employed as matrix material with mix of hardener.
Abstract: Materials are indispensible but the supply is limited. In particularly, the supply of material is limited for specific applications. Light weight low strength applications are very wide. This investigation focuses the natural fibre hybrid with artificial fiber based hybrid composite preparation. The sisal fibre is used to prepare the composite with glass fibre. The sisal fiber is here treated with specific concentration of sodium oxidanide in the distilled water. The composites synthesized with treated and untreated sisal fibres. The alternate fashion of horizontal and vertical is followed for fibres’ orientation. The bio epoxy is employed as matrix material with mix of hardener. The prepared composite are characterized by water absorbability, tensile properties, flexural properties and shock absorption capacities. The synthesized composites also characterized for dry and wet applications.

TL;DR: In this article, the reinforcement effect in sisal/polyester composites containing distinct reinforcement content was studied ranging from fragile to strong classification, and the results indicate that the reduced storage modulus changes steadily, and that the loss modulus and the tan δ peak are broader for composites having more fiber (dynamically strong composites).
Abstract: In this study, the reinforcement effect in sisal/polyester composites containing distinct reinforcement content was studied ranging from fragile to strong classification. The results indicate that the reduced storage modulus changes steadily, and the loss modulus and the tan δ peak are broader for composites containing more fiber (dynamically strong composites). As more fiber was incorporated in the resin, lower peak height for the tan delta curve was obtained, which may be indicative of lower energy dissipation due to a greater relative amount of interface. Also, the use of reduced dynamic mechanical curves (similar to dynamic fragility) is an alternative to facilitate the study of the material behavior. POLYM.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of hybrid bio-composites, which is eco-friendly and easily degradable, has been investigated in the field of petrochemical-based polymers.
Abstract: Advanced technology emergence in the field of petrochemical-based polymers has brought many benefits to mankind It is validating that the ecosystem is considerably disturbed and damaged as a result of the non-degradable plastic materials used for disposable items This paper relates the use of hybrid bio-composites, which is eco-friendly and easily degradable Previous literature related to hybrid bio-composites proves its eco-friendly and excellent degradable properties In this paper, banana and sisal fibers were selected to execute the hybrid bio-composite preparation with poly lactic as its matrix Specimens were made with and without fibre treatment and their mechanical properties like tensile, flexural and impact were evaluated as per the standard test procedures The test results obtained evident that the treated fibers having the best mechanical properties than pure PLA and untreated fibre bio-composites The chemical treatment also improved fiber matrix interaction by removal of lignin and hemicellulose, which led to the better incorporation of fiber with the matrix The SEM micrographs of untreated banana/sisal fibre reinforced PLA bio-composites and treated banana/sisal fibre reinforced PLA bio-composites clearly indicated the extent of the fiber-matrix interface adhesion
