“…Furthermore, the addition of natural fillers makes the manufacturing process difficult because natural fillers, mainly those containing lignocelluloses, are thermally sensitive components [12]. Due to the disadvantages associated with WPC processing, composites are produced with mineral fillers [13,14]. Not only the addition of mineral fillers results in a significant increase in strength, but it also makes the material environment-friendly.…”

In this study, biodegradable biocomposites based on polylactide with basalt fibres (BFs) or wood fibres (WFs) of 7.5 or 15 wt% were prepared by injection moulding. Various tests, including tensile test, bending test and impact test, were carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of the composites. Additionally, the samples were tested at different temperatures. Depending on the type of fibre, differences were noted in their mechanical properties; the addition of WF caused a decrease in strength and the higher the fibre content, the higher the decrease was noted from 18% up 25% in the case of tensile strength. However, the Young modulus was improved by 45% for composites with 15 wt% of WF. The addition of BF improved all the properties, especially Young modulus was improved by over 45%. Despite the low strength observed in neat polylactide at high temperatures-394 MPa, the addition of WF or BF improved the flexural strength more than twofold up to 1684 MPa (PLA/15BF). Moreover, the addition of natural fibres caused an increase in dimensional stability as shown by the decrease of the coefficient of thermal expansion which dropped over 50% for composites with 15 wt% of BF, which significantly expands the areas of use of materials. After 4 weeks of biodegradation, only a slight decrease approximately 5% was observed in the mechanical properties together with an increase in crystallinity. Overall, the results confirm that the prepared composites can be successfully used in engineering applications with long-term operation.

“…The most popular of them are glass and carbon fibre (CF). [6][7][8] The composites with 30 wt% glass fibre addition were previously shown to exhibit a less pronounced reduction in Young's modulus ($67%) than the neat PA6 ($80%) upon ageing. 9 CFs are common reinforcement additive due to their excellent mechanical properties (high tensile strength, high elastic modulus, and fatigue resistance) and because they enhance thermal conductivity.…”

This paper describes the hybridization of basalt and carbon fibres in polyamide 6 by injection moulding method and the analyses of the mechanical, morphological, fire, and smoke properties of the obtained materials. The content of basalt/carbon fibres in hybrid composites amounted to 5/5 wt%, 7/7 wt%, and 10/10 wt%. The addition of fibres resulted in an increase in mechanical properties of the examined materials, was reflected by the threefold increase of Young modulus for the composites containing 10/10 wt% of fibres. To investigate the aging, the samples were stored in distilled water for 1, 7, 14, 100, and 210 days. After 210 days, a significant decrease in mechanical properties was observed. Interestingly, the addition of fibres caused a 50% reduction in stiffness, whereas, in the case of neat polyamide 6, the decrease was about 78%. Additionally, the addition of fibres reduced water sorption. With the increasing fibre load, the decrease in the maximum average rate of heat emission was observed. In the case of composites containing 10 wt% of basalt fibres and 10 wt% of carbon fibres, it amounted to 207 kW/m2 and was lower by approx. 37% in comparison to the unmodified polymer.

Eco-friendly materials are the subject of recent research interest in various academia and industry fields. Eco-materials or eco-friendly materials are also termed as the green materials. These are environment-friendly materials, usually obtained from renewable resources. Exploitation of the eco-materials has been tremendously increased for the production of eco-textiles. Use of the eco-friendly polymers has become widespread owing to growing interest in biodegradability, sustainability, recyclability, and environmental concerns. Polymeric eco-materials have various potential uses in textile industry. In addition to the eco-friendly polymers, the nanocomposite materials based on eco-polymers and nanofillers have been prepared. Recently, the polymer-based nanocomposite materials have also been focused for eco-textiles. This chapter deals with various essential aspects of the eco-friendly textile-related nanomaterials.
