Abstract

Natural fibres promise to serve as a high-performance, abrasion-free reinforcement fibre alternative. This research investigated the mechanical properties of polyethylene composites containing various natural materials, including old newspaper, kraft cellulose, and kenaf. The influence of a lighter-weight terephthalate-form pairing consultant on the material properties of such organic fibres Composite material too was probed, with the results indicating that something like this can serve as a new interface descriptor for enhancing the shear strength of a PP-filled polymer composite, with the ideal amount of a compatibilizer being about 2-3 percent by weight of a specimen. Simultaneously, steel fibers, kraft paper, and kenaf fibre materials outperformed glass fiber-reinforced compounds in terms of tension, bending, and un-notched impact resistance. The material properties of a hybrid layer of 10% fiberglass and 30% kenaf fibre improved only marginally.
