This paper deals with the synthesis of shortSaccaharum Cilliarefibre (SC) reinforced Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) matrix based polymer composites. Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as: tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and wear resistance of the UF matrix increase up to 30% fibre loading(in terms of weight) and then decreases for higher loading when fibers are incorporated into the matrix polymer. Morphological and Thermal studies of the matrix, fibre and short fibre reinforced (SF-Rnf) green composites have also been carried out. The results obtained emphasize the applications of these fibres, as potential reinforcing materials in bio based composites.

Analysis Of Results

In this research article, the assessment of properties of compression moldedGrewia optivafiber reinforced Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) matrix based polymer composites is reported. Reinforcing of the UF resin withGrewia optivafiber was accomplished in the particle, short and long fiber reinforcement. Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as: tensile strength, compressive strength and wear resistance of urea - formaldehyde resin increases to a significant extent when reinforced withGrewia optivafiber. Analysis of results shows that particle reinforcement is more effective as compared to short and long fiber reinforcement. Morphological and Thermal studies of the matrix and fibre reinforced biocomposites have also been carried out

This paper investigates the utilization of commercial masterbatches of graphene nanoplatelets to improve the properties of neat polymer and wood fiber composites manufactured by conventional processing methods. The effect of aspect ratio of the graphene platelets (represented by the different number of layers in the nanoplatelet) on the properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is discussed. The composites were characterized for their mechanical properties (tensile, flexural, impact) and physical characteristics (morphology, crystallization, and thermal stability). The effect of the addition of nanoplatelets on the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of the reinforced polymer with different contents of reinforcement was also investigated. In general, the mechanical performance of the polymer was enhanced at the presence of either of the reinforcements (graphene or wood fiber). The improvement in mechanical properties of the nanocomposite was notable considering that no compatibilizer was used in the manufacturing. The use of a masterbatch can promote utilization of nano-modified polymer composites on an industrial scale without modification of the currently employed processing methods and facilities.

This article establishes a reliable constitutive model to describe the behaviors of fiber-reinforced polymer composites under quasi-static and dynamic loading. This model integrates the contributions of all the three phases of a composite: the fiber, the matrix, and the fiber/matrix interphase, which make it capable of capturing the key micromechanical effect of the interphase on the macroscopic mechanical properties of composites. The interphase is taken as a transversely isotropic material together with the fiber. By analyzing glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy composites, it was found that the model predictions agree well with the experimental data and the model is more effective particularly when the fiber volume fraction is high. The dynamic three-phase model was also established by using the coupling of the elastic and Maxwell elements for the viscoelasticity of the matrix as well as the interphase. The article concludes that the three-phase model with consideration of the interphase influence can precisely characterize the static and dynamic mechanical properties of a FRP composite.

Using polypropylene (PP) as matrix and kenaf mat as reinforcement, composite test samples were fabricated by compression molding. Thereafter, the effect of fibre loading and the alkaline fibre surface treatment on the mechanical properties were studied. The kenaf/PP composites were found to have better mechanical properties than the polymer matrix. As expected, the interfacial bonding between the matrix and the fibres improved considerably when the fibres were subjected to alkaline treatment.

The Matrix

Natural plant fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been in the limelight in the field of materials science for their mechanical properties, economy, and eco-friendliness. Properties of such novel composites depend on the adhesion and interaction between the fibers and the polymer matrix. Consequently, poor interaction can lead to declined mechanical properties, particularly strength. Surface modifications of fibers are carried out to enhance the bonding with the matrix by certain chemical treatments that remove hydroxyl groups in the amorphous cellulose region, making them hydrophobic and hence compatible with the matrix. Doing so also strengthens the composites, widening their scope of application. This review article provides comprehensive information about various surface modification techniques that include alkali, silane, acetylation, permanganate, peroxide, benzoylation, acrylation, acrylonitrile grafting, isocyanate, addition of maleated coupling agents, and fungal treatments. The working mechanisms and the effects of such treatments on mechanical strength are also elucidated. Furthermore, this review provides an overview of nanoclay inclusion in polymers, their addition techniques, and the augmentation of the mechanical properties of polymer matrix composites. The article concludes along with the field of applications, summary of pertinent challenges, and directions for future work.
