Abstract

Grewia optiva wheat straw waste fibre and PAN fibre are combined in this study to create new composite materials. The novel specimens were created in the hydraulic hind moulding machine with varying percentages of mass of wheat straw fibres, PAN fibre (2–8%) in an equivalent ratio with other materials, and Kevlar fibre-based composites (2–4%). Natural fibre-reinforced clothing is getting increasingly fashionable these days; thus, this research is important. In several papers, natural fibre has been stated to have the potential to replace synthetic fibres. Natural fibre reinforcing has also proven to be quite effective as composites. It is currently used in a range of fields, including medical fields, aerospace, and the automobile industry, among others. Synthetic fibres are used. The usage of synthetic fibres such as asbestos and Kevlar has already been linked to mesothelioma, a kind of lung cancer. Many people have died as a result of Kevlar and asbestos. As a result, an effort to replace these materials is ongoing. Fabricated material’s mechanical, chemical, physical, tribological, and thermal properties were evaluated.
