Banana Fibre

Natural fibers, in particularly lignocellulosic fibers are attracting material scientists now days, due to their comparative advantages over synthetic fibers. Biodegradable composites reinforced with short banana fibre after alkali treatment along with cassava starch matrix were prepared using the hot compression method. The mechanical properties like tensile strength and impact strength were investigated. Mechanical properties of the composites made from alkali treated fibres were superior to the untreated fibres. SEM observations on the fracture surface of composites showed that the surface modification of the fibre occurred and improved fibre–matrix adhesion.

Effect Of Surface

Natural fibers have been attracting researchers and engineers as an alternative reinforcement of synthetic fibers in polymer composites due to their low cost, availability from natural resources, satisfactory high modulus and tensile strength, and biodegradability. Filature silk waste (FSW) is the remnant part of the cocoons which is produced during the silk forming process. The current study focuses on the comparison of tensile properties between untreated filature silk waste reinforced epoxy-based composite (UTFSWREC), 2 wt% alkali-treated filature silk waste reinforced epoxy-based composites (TFSWREC) and 2 wt% alkali-treated filature silk waste reinforced epoxy nanocomposites (TFSWRENC). The tensile properties showed that Young’s modulus of composites increases with surface modification of fiber and further enhances with nanoclay filler. TFSWREC and TFSWRENC displayed a higher tensile modulus than UTFSWREC. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed the removal of the sericin layer from the surface of fiber, which resulted in the separation of fibrils and further resulted in the enhancement of the mechanical properties. FTIR analysis confirmed that intermolecular bonding improves with the chemical treatment and further refined with nanoclay filler addition.

This paper gives an overview of atmospheric pressure plasma types used in the textile industry and recent developments in plasma treatments of textiles. It investigates the topic of the influence of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on the surface properties of materials made from natural and synthetic fibers. Through plasma induced physical and chemical reactions occurring in the textile surface layer, significant modifications in micromorphology and reactivity can be achieved. In addition to cleaning, etching, and activation, great efforts have been made in the development of plasma polymerization processes under atmospheric pressure. Utilization of atmospheric pressure plasma technology in the textile industry offers a new perspective on surface modification and functionalization. This paper gives a summary of textile properties achieved using plasma and the underlying processes based on relevant findings obtained from prominent research.
