High performance of hybrid resin nanocomposites reinforced with E-glass, waste-based natural fiber mats: mechanical and thermal analysis under ambient and cryogenic environment

Implementing sustainable materials in engineering and manufacturing sectors enhances functionality while simultaneously addressing waste valorization and environmental concerns. This study presents the clean-technology approach for composite fabrication using agricultural waste materials, such as banana, sugarcane, and areca sheath fibers converted into reinforcement materials. These waste-derived fibers were hybridized with E-glass fiber and a bio-resin system comprising Lannea coromandelica plant gum and epoxy. This approach supports solid waste management goals, reduces reliance on petroleum-based resins, and may contribute to sustainability and circular economy goals. To further enhance environmental and engineering functionality, nano-silicon dioxide (SiO2) fillers were incorporated in different weight proportions (1.5, 3 and 4.5 wt.%), and three stacking sequences were developed: Banana/Glass/Banana (B/G/B), Sugarcane/Glass/Sugarcane (S/G/S), and Areca/Glass/Areca (A/G/A) fabricated via compression molding.
