“…For example, in salt water, salt precipitates on fibre surface forms a protective layer that reduces rate of moisture absorption while in diesel and engine oil, chemical attacks enhances its degradability [38].The characteristics of natural fibre composites immersed in water are influenced by the nature of the fibre and matrix materials, by the relative humidity and manufacturing technique, which determines factors such as porosity and volume fraction of fibres [21]. The manner in which composite materials absorb water depends upon several factors such as temperature, fibre volume fraction, orientation of reinforcement, permeability nature of fibre, area of exposed surfaces, diffusivity, reaction between water and matrix and surface protection [34].…”

A review on the degradability of polymeric composites based on natural fibres

The applications of natural fibre/polymer composites in civil engineering are mostly concentrated on non-load bearing indoor components due to its vulnerability to environmental attack. This paper evaluates the characteristics of several natural fibre composites exposed to moisture, thermal, fire, and ultraviolet degradation through an extensive literature review. The effects of chemical additives such as fibre treatments, fire retardants and UV stabilizers are also addressed. Based on the evaluation conducted, optimum fibre content provides strength in a polymer composite but it also becomes an entry point for moisture attack. Several fibre treatments are also being used to improve fibre/matrix interface, thereby increasing moisture durability. However, the treated fibres were found to behave poorly when exposed to weather. The addition of UV stabilizers and fire retardants are suggested to enhance outdoor and fire performance of natural fibre/polymer composite but compromises its strength. Therefore, from the collected data and various experimental results, it was concluded that an optimum blend ratio of chemical additives must be employed to achieve a balance between strength and durability requirements for natural fibre composites. Dear EditorI would like to submit a paper entitle of "Degradability of Polymeric Composites Based on Natural Fibres" to the materials and design. This paper address important issues related to the degradation of natural fibres in polymeric composites. I believe the paper has interest to the reader of the journal and will be beneficial for many researchers in the field of materials and design considering the degradation of polymer and bio-materials. I would like to confirm that the paper has not been sent to any journal before and not under review. I hope you can send the paper fore reviewing process.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penyerapan air pada komposit resin poliester berpenguat serat agel tenun (Corypha gebanga) yang direndam dalam air distilasi dan larutan 3,5% NaCl. Bahan yang digunakan adalah serat agel tenun, resin poliester tak jenuh Yukalac 157 BQTN, dan katalis metil etil keton peroksida (MEKP). Teknik pembuatannya menggunakan vacuum bagging dengan tekanan hisap 70 cmHg pada suhu ruangan. Spesimen uji penyerapan air berdasarkan standar ASTM D570 selama 1080 jam pada suhu kamar. Hasil uji penyerapan air menunjukkan bahwa komposit resin poliester berpenguat serat agel tenun yang direndam dalam air distilasi memiliki kemampuan menyerap air dan koefisien difusi yang lebih tinggi daripada yang direndam dalam larutan 3,5% NaCl. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa tingkat viskositas larutan mempengaruhi penyerapan air dan difusi. Kata kunci: corypha gebanga, koefisien difusi, vacuum bagging, serat agel tenun, penyerapan air.

“…The use of natural fibers has gained a lot of attention in numerous fields due to their several superior properties that have the potential of replacing the use of synthetic fibers. Natural fibers are environmental friendly, sustainable, low cost, have high specific properties, nonabrasive, high strength, CO2 sequestration, and posses high availability [1]. The survival of textile industries depends primarily on the diversification of current end products to meet national as well as international demands.…”

A novel approach was attempted for the functionalization of eri and its union fabrics with polymers for water repellency finishes. For the study, eri fabric was prepared with plain weave structure using 1/140s and 2/140s (warp and weft directions) and 2/140s of eri and 1/56s of wool yarn for the union fabric in both the warp and weft directions. For surface enrichment, silicone polymer was applied by the pad-dry-cure method. The untreated and treated fabric was evaluated for its hydrophobicity like the water contact angle and spray test, air permeability and physio-mechanical properties viz., counts, GSM, thickness, bending length, crease recovery, tensile strength and elongation were assessed. Analytical tests like UPF, whiteness, brightness, yellowness index for surface appearance was evaluated and SEM was performed. The marginal enhancement in bending length was observed in treated eri silk and union fabrics in both directions. The properties like thickness, brightness, yellowness, increased after application of silicone polymers, while crease recovery decreased. Noticeable enhancement of water contact angle was observed in eri silk and union fabric after adding silicone polymer and UPF was found to be excellent. There was no structural damage observed in all treated samples which are cleared from the Scanning Electron Microscope view. Application of silicone polymer on eri silk and its union fabrics improved the hydrophobic characteristic. The UPF protection properties were evaluated on both fabrics and recorded excellent UPF. In this study, the functional properties on eri silk and union fabrics were achieved successfully for functional clothing and textiles
