Mounting environmental concerns have prompted the extensive use of agricultural wastes to make

sustainable and eco-friendly products. The utilization of agricultural wastes reduces their
accumulation along with minimizing environmental pollution risks.

Researchers investigated the mechanical characteristics as well as water absorption of a polyester

CHF composite and noted that the composite with 20% of corn husk lignocellulosic exhibited the
highest flexural modulus and strength while the composite with 15% fiber exhibited the highest
tensile characteristics. Because lignin is less hydrophilic than cellulose, it was found that
composites containing lignin displayed lower water sorption than fiber-containing composites.
Thermoset polyester composite reinforced with 30% maize husk fiber also demonstrated the
highest tensile strength and modulus.
