  Abstract

In addition to strengthening the compatibility between the fiber and matrix, this work presents a novel technique for increasing the adhesion between coir fiber and polymer. To assess the modified coir fiber’s physical and chemical characteristics in comparison to untreated fiber, tensile testing, TGA, FTIR, and SEM were used to characterize it. In addition, the interfacial shear strength of composites is measured using the single fiber pull-out test, and the strength of the materials is assessed by fragmentation through tensile testing. The enhanced strength of the modified fibers is demonstrated by the results, which show a 148% increase in tensile strength for coir fiber (L-S) treated with natural latex and SiO2 nanoparticles.The coir fiber (K-Z) modified with KH550 and ZnO nanoparticles demonstrated the highest interfacial strength, bonding energy, and interfacial shear strength in the reinforced material (C-K-Z), displaying increases of 106%, 196%, and 89%, respectively. In addition, the interface bonding properties between the modified fibers and the matrix were noticeably improved. These results provide important new information for the development of natural fiber-reinforced composites by highlighting the notable changes in the characteristics of modified coir fiber and the improved interfacial bonding qualities of composites.
