Oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) single fibers and reinforced composites were comprehensively characterized through tensile tests to assess their performance as potential reinforcing materials in polymer composites. The performances of OPEFB single fibers and reinforced composites with untreated and treated fibers conditions were compared. The fibers were variously treated with 3% sodium hydroxide, 2% silane, 3% sodium hydroxide mixed with 2% silane, and 3% sodium hydroxide prior to 2% silane for 2 hours soaking time. The highest toughness of the single fibers test was then selected to proceed with composites fabrication. The OPEFB composites were fabricated in 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, and 60:40 epoxy-fibre fractions. The result shows that the selected treated fiber composite exhibits better performance. The selected treated fiber composite increased the highest ultimate tensile strength by 145.3% for the 90:10 fraction. The highest Young’s Modulus was increased by about 166.7% for 70:30 fraction. Next, the highest toughness was increased by 389.5% for the 30:70 fraction. The treated fibers provided a better interlocking mechanism between the matrix and fibers in reinforced composites, thus improving their interfacial bonding.

Areca catechu, is a species of palm belonging to the family of Arecaceae/Palmae, grows vertically, to the height of 10 m to 20 m, the stem is straight, solitary and slender, 10 cm to 15 cm in diameter, with marks of annulated scars of fallen leaf sheaths. Areca fibres are predominantly extracted not only from the fruit as areca husk, but also from leaf stalks and fronds. In this review paper, areca fibre is compared with those of other representative species of the Arecaceae/Palmae family, such as the coconut tree and the palm tree, in terms of physical and mechanical properties. This review article also discusses the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of areca fibre and its composites. The review of known published data reveals that, while areca fibre has the potential to be used as an alternative reinforcement in polymer composites. Besides, it has been also noticed that some other species from the family of Arecaceae/Palmae have not been explored as natural fibre reinforcement in polymer composites either, thus revealing further options of natural alternative reinforcement to be investigated with regard to their potential to be used in fibre based composites for the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries.

This study examined the fatigue behaviour of pineapple leaf fibre/carbon hybrid laminate composites under various stacking sequences. The vacuum infusion technique was used to fabricate the symmetric quasi-isotropic oriented laminates, in which the stacking was varied. The laminate was tested under static and fatigue tensile load according to ASTM D3039-76 and ASTM D3479-96, respectively. Maximum tensile strength and modulus of 119.34 MPa and 6.86 GPa, respec-tively, were recorded for the laminate with external PALF ply and internal carbon ply oriented at [± 45◦ 2, 0◦ /90◦ 2]s (PCCP_45090). The fatigue tests showed that PCCP_45090 and CPPC_09045 (with internal PALF ply and external carbon ply oriented at [0◦ /90◦ 2, ± 45◦ 2]s) exhibited a higher useful life, especially at the high-stress level of the ultimate tensile strength. The normalised stress against the number of cycles showed that the stacking sequences of different ply orientations affected the fatigue behaviour more than the stacking sequences of the material. The laminate stacking sequence significantly affected the hysteresis energy and stiffness evolution. The scanning electron microscopy images showed that the fatigue failure modes included fibre pull-out, fibre breakage, matrix cracking, debonding, and delamination. The study concluded that PCCP_45090 exhibited an outstanding fatigue performance.

The effects of stacking sequence on dynamic mechanical properties and thermal degradation of kenaf/jute hybrid composites

This research focused on the dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of woven mat jute/kenaf/jute (J/K/J) and kenaf/jute/kenaf (K/J/K) hybrid com-posites. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Thermo-gravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the effect of layering sequence on the thermal properties of kenaf/jute hybrid composites. The DMA results; it was found that the dif-ferences in the stacking sequence between the kenaf/jute composites do not affect their storage modulus, loss modulus and damping factor. From the TGA and DMA results, it has been shown that stacking sequence has given positive effect to the kenaf/jute hybrid composite compared to pure epoxy composite. This is because kenaf and jute fibre has increased the Tg values of the composites, thus affect the thermal degradation. Results showed that the storage modulus for kenaf/jute hybrid composites increased compared with pure epoxy composites with increasing temperature and the values of remained almost the same at glass transition temperature (Tg), the hybrid composite perhaps due to the improved fibre/matrix interface bonding. The preliminary analysis could provide a new direction for the creation of a novel hybrid composite which offers unique properties which cannot be accomplished in a single material system.
