Uses of Natural Fibres in Polymer Composites
Abstract: The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly materials has led to growing interest in utilizing natural fibers as reinforcements in polymer composites. Natural fibers such as jute, flax, hemp, sisal, and coir have gained notable attention due to their renewable origin, biodegradability, low density, and cost-effectiveness when compared with conventional synthetic fibers like glass or carbon. When combined with suitable polymer matrices, these fibers form natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs), …

Self-healing Polymer Nanocomposites study using filler effect
Abstract: Polymers, while versatile, often lack the desired mechanical strength, thermal stability, or barrier properties for high-performance applications. This limitation is elegantly addressed by creating polymer nanocomposites. These materials are formed by incorporating small amounts (typically 1-5 wt%) of nanoscale fillers (e.g., carbon nanotubes, graphene, silica, clay, metal oxide nanoparticles) into a polymer matrix. The magic of nanocomposites lies in the incredibly high surface area-to-volume ratio of the nanoparticles and their …
