Methods: The patent data have been taken from the external links of US patents such as IFI CLAIMS Patent Services, USPTO, USPTO Assignment, Espacenet, Global Dossier, and Discuss. Results: The present world scenario demands the usage of natural fibers from agricultural and forest byproducts as a reinforcement material for fiber reinforced composites. Natural fibers can be easily extracted from plants and animals. Recently natural fiber in nanoscale is preferred over micro and macro scale fibers due to its superior thermo-mechanical properties.

Composite materials reinforced with extended-chain polyethylene (ECPE) fibers are unlike typical stiff and brittle composite materials such as graphite/epoxy or fiberglass. The high ductility and energy absorption capacity of the ECPE reinforcing fibers gives these composites a unique mechanical response which makes them ideally suited for a variety of applications. However, this dissimilarity with more common materials requires special consideration of mechanical properties testing. In this paper, the mechanical behavior of ECPE-fiber-reinforced composites is investigated using standard composite test methods. Results of these tests are presented and discussed based on the properties of the ECPE reinforcing fibers and on the assumptions inherent in the test methods. ECPE/epoxy composites are characterized by high ultimate tensile strength, high tensile modulus, low shear modulus and strength, and viscoelastic response to loading. The highest available combination of fiber strength and strain-to-failure gives this material ductility and energy absorption capacity significantly higher than other common composite materials. Applications of ECPE composites are discussed.

Metals are known for high ductility and have, been used to design and fabricate structural components for many years. However, composite materials are taking over traditional materials owing to their significant mechanical properties. Fiber-reinforced composites exhibit lower ductility and failure strain, resulting in brittle failure, limiting their application where high ductility is desired. In this study, an effort has been made to design, fabricate, and test continuous fiber-reinforced composites with improved ductility. A comparative analysis was performed for optimizing the failure strain of different woven fiber-reinforced composite materials under both on-axis (0°/90°) and off-axis (±45°) loading. The materials include carbon/epoxy, E-glass/epoxy, and jute/epoxy composite. The tests were performed according to ASTM D3039 standard. The strength of all tested composites in on-axis and off-axis loading was obtained from tensile test results. But failure strain was limited in on-axis loading. Interestingly, glass/epoxy composite showed improved failure strain, by 90%, without much loss in tensile strength in off-axis loading than on-axis loading. The jute fiber revealed limited tensile strength and failure strain in both loading conditions.
