Effect of Mercerization and Fibre Loading on the Physical and Mechanical Properties of Polyester/Sisal Fibre Composites D. Sahu, S. Yadav, M. Gupta, A. Agrawal Materialwissenschaft Und Werkstofftechnik, 2025 The present work aims to study the effect of untreated sisal fibre and the influence of fibre treatment on polyester‐based composites. Four categories of composites are prepared, comprising the first category with untreated fibre (category A) and the other three categories with sodium hydroxide‐treated fibre. The concentrations used are 1 mole (category B), 2 moles (category C) and 3 moles (category D). Micrographs show that the interfacial bonding between the fibre and polyester improves with treatment, though excessive treatment deteriorates the fibre. The void content and water absorption increase with fibre loading. For category A composites, the tensile, flexural and compressive strengths are improved by 21.1 %, 15.4 % and 13.5 % respectively, whereas hardness increases by 3.7 %. Among the different samples, category C composites deliver the best output. The tensile strength, flexural strength, compressive strength and hardness for category C composites are improved by 37.4 %, 30.6 %, 21.2 and 9.3 %, respectively and for category B composites by 24.5 %, 18.9 %, 16.4 % and 5.6 % respectively. For category D composites, the compressive strength and hardness increase marginally by 9.7 % and 3 % respectively. All the percentage improvements discussed are against neat polyester.
Fabrication and characterization of surface modified short sisal fibre reinforced polyester composites: an experimental investigation Deepti Sahu, Shalini Yadav, Mayank Gupta, Alok Agrawal, Gaurav Gupta Engineering Research Express, 2025 Natural fibre like sisal fibre has excellent reinforcing potential mainly because of its low extraction cost, easy availability, and high level of recycling. The present experimental study reveals that the addition of surface-modified sisal fibres in the polyester reluctantly raises the voids and water uptake rate, but is limited to 2.96% and 5.7%, respectively, for maximum fibre content. While studying the tensile properties, for a maximum loading of 10 wt%, the increment of around 37% in tensile strength, 15% in tensile modulus and 15% in percentage elongation is observed. The flexural strength and modulus also improve with fibre loading, showing an increment of around 31% and 23% respectively. The compressive strength is increased by around 21%, whereas a marginal increment of 9% is observed in the value of hardness. During the wear test, it is observed that the factor combination of the fibre content of 10 wt%, applied load 30 N, a distance of sliding of 2000 m and a velocity of sliding of 5 m s−1 results in the lowest mass loss. A confirmatory test was also performed to determine the variation between the predicted and experimental values. The steady-state study showed that the composite having 10 wt% of sisal fibre shows the lowest wear. Based on the obtained properties, the presently fabricated composites can find their potential application in interior panels of automobiles and boats, roofing sheets, wall panels, partition boards, and ceiling panels in construction, bicycle frames, surfboards and skateboards in sports and replacement of traditional plastic and wooden packaging in packaging industries.
