Eco-friendly approach and potential biodegradable polymer matrix for WPC composite materials in outdoor application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Blends based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and poly(lactic) acid (PLA) with different ratios of both polymers were produced: a blend with equal amounts of HDPE and PLA, hence 50 wt.% each, proved to be a useful compromise, allowing a high amount of

Polyphenylene sulfide-modified carbon fiber reinforced high-strength composites via electrophoretic deposition

open access: yesJournal of Science: Advanced Materials and Devices, 2022
The performance of carbon fiber (CF)–reinforced thermoplastic composites is influenced by the interfacial adhesion strength of the fiber and thermoplastic matrix.

Prediction of the in-plane permeability and air evacuation time of fiber-placed thermoplastic composite preforms with engineered intertape channels

open access: yesComposites Part C: Open Access
The two main void removal mechanisms during vacuum-bag-only (VBO) consolidation of thermoplastic composites are through-thickness diffusion and in-plane air evacuation.

Development and characterisation of injection moulded, all-polypropylene composites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this work, all-polypropylene composites (all-PP composites) were manufactured by injection moulding. Prior to injection moulding, pre-impregnated pellets were prepared by a three-step process (filament winding, compression moulding and pelletizing).

Interfacial strength in fibre reinforced thermoplastics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
There has been a rapid growth in the development and application of fibre-reinforced thermoplastic polymer composites in recent years. Parallel to this growth has been the increasing recognition of the need to better understand and measure the micro ...

A technique for the measurement of reinforcement fibre tensile strength at sub-millimetre gauge lengths [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The strength of composite reinforcement fibres is normally measured on samples of much greater length than the actual residual fibre lengths found in many composite materials.

Enzymatic degradation of biopolymers in amorphous and molten states: mechanisms and applications

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review explains how polymer morphology and thermal state shape enzymatic degradation pathways, comparing amorphous and molten biopolymer structures. By integrating structure–reactivity principles with insights from thermodynamics and enzyme engineering, it highlights mechanisms that enable efficient polymer breakdown.

Interfaces and interfacial effects in glass reinforced thermoplastics - Keynote Presentation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Optimization of the fibre-matrix interphase region is critical to achieving the required performance level in thermoplastic matrix composites. Due to its initial location on the fibre surface, the sizing layer is an important component in the formation ...

Understanding bio‐based polymers: A study of origins, properties, biodegradation and their impact on health and the environment

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This review provides an overview of bio‐based polymer sources, their unique functional properties and their environmental impact, and addresses their role as sustainable alternatives. It discusses end‐of‐life options, including composting and anaerobic digestion for renewable energy.

The tensile strength test of thermoplastic materials based on poly(butylene terephtalate)

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences, 2017
Thermoplastic composites go toward making an increasingly greater percentage of all manufacturing polymer composites. They have a lot of beneficial properties and their manufacturing using injecting and extrusion methods is a very easy and cheap process.
