Experimental investigation of nano-alumina particle-enhanced bamboo/jute fiber-reinforced composites on the tensile, impact, and flexural properties of the composite

In-depth analysis of the mechanical properties and potential applications of bamboo and jute fiber-reinforced composites enhanced with nano-alumina particles is included in this work. Numerous tests have revealed that improving the tensile, impact, and flexural characteristics by adding more nano-alumina reinforcement is effective. Tensile strength increased from 155 MPa in control composites to 173 MPa with 5% nano-alumina, indicating potential for load-bearing applications in the automotive and aerospace industries. These composite materials now have an impact resistance of 55 Joules as opposed to 25 Joules, making them suitable for use as strong building materials. Additionally, because of their increased flexural properties, which include an increase in strength from 110 MPa to 150 MPa and an increase in modulus from 4 GPa to 5.2 GPa, they are suitable for applications requiring resistance to bending forces. In addition to their superior mechanical capabilities, these composites provide environmentally conscious solutions, satisfying the growing demand for high-performance yet environmentally conscious materials. Their materials include jute and bamboo, both of which are renewable. By addressing the evolving requirements of a variety of engineering applications where a harmonious trade-off between performance and sustainability is crucial, this study significantly contributes to the development of sustainable materials. These results hold great promise for ground-breaking innovations in fields where adopting eco-friendly, high-performance materials is crucial.
