Automobile industries move towards manufacturing using sustainable material development techniques to enhance fuel efficiency by increasing the parts strength with lightweight material. Natural fiber composite materials are one of the recent developing materials used to apply for construction, electronics, automobile sectors etc. In the present unsustainable environment condition, the natural fiber composites serve as a better material in terms of biodegradability, costeffectiveness, and has improved resistance. This experimental study aims to fabricate the treated HempBagasse fiber composite for automobile applications and evaluate properties like mechanical, thermal, and permeance. Fabrication of two different treated fibrous fillers with the polymeric matrix can be done using the hand lay-up method. To study the fillers enhancement and behavior with the resin, the different volume fraction of fibers is incorporated in resin. The overall property was done by as per ASTM standards, then the composition is optimized for future automobile applications like car door panels.

Patients and surgeons with tibia fracture using external fixator are worried about a higher weight of metal fixator´s construction and therefore also poor manipulation ability with this tool [1]. During the last few years the bone tissue engineering has improved significantly and along with that also material development has increased [2,3]. Therefore patients requirements can be achieved by optimizing the material composition of this product. The main objective of this research is a weight reduction by material and design changes of the external fixator. Another aim is the evaluation of the final model. The model of innovative fixator was created and also computed in software CATIA V5-6 using finite element method simulation. Appropriate forces were applied and the simulation was performed. Results of FEM simulation indicate that the final weight of complete product declined significantly after application of carbon-fiber composite. Test results also suggest that the rigidity and the stability of complete fixator are safe. Hence this research describes that application of carbon fiber composite into the external fixator design is an important improvement of the external fixator.
