Comprehensive Characterization of Furcraea selloa K. Koch Peduncle Fiber-Reinforced Polyester Composites—Effect of Fiber Length and Weight Ratio

Nowadays, scientists and researchers working on polymer composites are paying much attention to the discovery of prospective plant fibers in order build a promising fiber-reinforced composite. The present study investigated efficacy using novel Furcraea selloa K. Koch peduncle fiber reinforced composites, specific composite characterization was done explore absolute length weight ratio accomplish superior properties. For that, with different length-to-weight ratios were unsaturated polyester corresponding tested decide optimum for obtaining utmost results indicated that highest mechanical properties allied 30 mm wt.% tensile strength 103.51 MPa flexural 144.65 MPa. While remaining volumes showed decreased as compared optimal, which might be due debonding effects or less interfacial bonding examined clearly SEM images fractured samples. Enhanced thermal stability 390°C relatively reduced water absorption rate observed case optimal range when other testing dimensions. Moreover, current confirmed FSPF possess comparable would good alternative existing synthetic composites.
