The Effect Of Phoenix Dactylifera L. Pinnae Reinforcement On The Mechanical And Thermal Properties Of Polymer Composite

“…In the recent years, natural fibers have been more and more used as alternative reinforcements in polymer composites because of their relatively inexpensive (cheap), low density, environmental friendly and biodegradability [3][4][5]. Biocomposite can be defined as the materials combine of a polymer matrices and reinforcements, with the feature that both the matrices and the reinforcements, or one of them should at least be of biological origin [6,7]. it is known that the concept of sustainability has succeed in industries motivating to demand alternative and sustainable materials using natural fibers that can reinforce polymer composite materials for different applications [7].…”

“…The composites of thermoplastic matrix reinforced with natural fillers, which essentially improve the mechanical achievement of the original polymers [4,8,9]. The additional benefit (profit gained) of reinforcing natural fibers than conventional chemical materials such as carbon fibers or glass fibers, are their specified strength features, are widely available, light weight, ease of separation, enhanced energy recovery, high toughness, non-corrosive nature, low density, low cost, (as well as good thermal and acoustic insulating merits), superior thermal features, reduced tool wear, decreased dermal and respiratory irritation, less abrasion to processing equipment, renewability and biodegradability [4,5,7]. Transition of industries towards production of green composite is taking place due to the increasing request of consumer, to reduce the use of synthetic material, higher sustainability, bio degradability, friendly to environment and recyclability, inexpensive etc.…”

“…The other useful merits of natural fibers are non-toxicity, low energy consumption and absence of the environment pollution. In spite of these affirmative features of natural fibers, their applications are still very little and the same tendency is following for the natural fiber bio degradable composites [6,7]. Because of that, the natural fibers (on the whole) are in some way lower quality compared with the artificial fibers in the field of the mechanical features, in addition, the compatibility of natural fiber with the polymers is also a big problem because of the natural fiber tendency to mix with other materials [13,14].…”

The mechanical characteristics of natural fiber and their compatibility with polymer can be increased with the assistance of physical and chemical methods [1,7,15].…”
