Characterization of natural fiber surfaces and natural fiber composites

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2008
Abstract Experiments have been performed to further the development of natural fiber reinforced composites as a replacement for glass fiber composites. Untreated and treated surfaces of natural fibers were characterized using FTIR, XPS, and ESEM.

Natural fiber eco‐composites

Polymer Composites, 2007
AbstractThe natural fiber (NF) reinforced composites, so called eco‐composites, are subject of many scientific and research projects, as well as many commercial programs. The growing global environmental and social concern, high rate of depletion of petroleum resources, and new environmental regulations have forced the search for new composites and ...

Natural Fiber-Reinforced composites

Polymer Reviews, 2012
Over the last decade, composites of polymers reinforced with natural fibres have received increasing attention, both from the academic world and from several industries. There is a wide range of natural fibres which can be applied as reinforcements or fillers thanks to their properties and availability; i.e. flax, hemp, jute, kenaf and sisal.

Thermoplastic biopolyester natural fiber composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2003
AbstractNatural fiber–biopolymer composites have been prepared using flax and poly(3‐hydroxylbutyrate) bipolyesters (PHB). The biopolyesters consist of the homopolyester PHB and its copolymers with 5 and 12% 3‐hydroxyvalerate (PHV). These biopolymer–natural fiber composites provide structures totally composed of biodegradable and renewable resources ...

Natural fiber/polypropylene composites

1999
There are ecological and economical reasons in favor of the use of natural fibers as reinforcing fibers for plastics. A lower price, better recyclability, hygienic harmlessness and a carbon dioxide neutral combustion are the advantages of natural fibers compared to glass fibers (GF).

Natural Fiber Reinforced PLA Composites

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
We investigated the physical properties of natural fiber reinforced PLA composites, which were prepared by using PLA films and fibers. The impact, tensile, and dynamic mechanical properties of the composites were observed to examine the reinforcing effect of natural fibers.
