Description of the research topic:
In the last few decades, a push towards cost-effective lightweight materials has brought extreme enthusiasm in the field of polymer composites. Nowadays, polymer composites have been raised as feasible options to some customary materials, for example metals and alloys because of their inalienable properties including the simplicity of fabrication and cost-effectiveness. Fibre-reinforced polymer composites are extensively used as structural materials in various engineering parts and components are owing to their excellent mechanical properties. Literature suggests that difficulties in the fabrication of fibre-reinforced polymer composites arise due to the fibres structural/dispersion instability, which ultimately results in degraded mechanical.
Literature survey reveals that significant amount of work that has been conducted on erosive wear assessment of synthetic fibre-reinforced polymer composites, but few literatures are available on bagasse-, woven bast-leaf-, or banana-fibre reinforced polymer composites. Therefore, this PhD proposal aims to investigate the physical, mechanical and erosive wear properties of several natural-based fibres with experimental and numerical methods.
