“…Generally, the addition of non-combustible materials is aimed at protecting and separating natural fibers or lignocellulosic materials and this goes together with the incorporation of flame-retardants fillers into the interior of flammable materials and as a result, acting as a barrier for fire protection. The most frequently used flame retardant chemicals include: phosphoric acid [173], zinc borate [63], dicyanodiamide; expandable graphite [174], sodium borate [60], antimony oxide, nanoclay [175] and ammonium polyphosphate [176]. They are added usually, in the form of powder and the amount ranges between 5 to 10% in relation to dry mass of the matrix.…”

Natural fibers, as replacement of engineered fibers, have been one of the most researched topics over the past years. This is due to their inherent properties, such as biodegradability, renewability and their abundant availability when compared to synthetic fibers. Synthetic fibers derived from finite resources (fossil fuels) and are thus, affected mainly by volatility oil prices and their accumulation in the environment and/or landfill sites as main drawbacks their mechanical properties and thermal properties surpass that of natural fibers. A combination of these fibers/fillers, as reinforcement of various polymeric materials, offers new opportunities to produce multifunctional materials and structures for advanced applications. This article intends to cover recent developments from 2013-up to date on hybrid composites, based on natural fibers with other fillers. Hybrid composites preparation and characterization towards their applicability in advanced applications and the current challenges are also presented.

“…This article presents both solutions, with use of a monolithic extruded crosssection made of compound materials, as will be shown in the further development below. There are few references regarding this manufacturing process and most refer to the wood industry [16] [17] and [18]. Very few references were found on fibers with strong mechanical properties, such as the unidirectional fiberglass and carbon fibers that are proposed.…”

“…This is mainly because of the weakness of the polyolefin matrix and a lack of interfacial bonding between the hydrophilic wood and hydrophobic polyolefin matrix . Therefore, two primary approaches have been taken to improve the mechanical properties of WPCs: using coupling agents to enhance the interfacial adhesion and incorporating strong hybrid fillers including synthetic fiber, as well as inorganic particles to reinforce the system.…”

Various contents of copolyester of p-hydroxy benzoic acid and 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid (HBA/HNA) were compounded with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The reinforcing effect on the properties of the resulting wood/HDPE composites was determined. The results showed that incorporating HBA/HNA copolyester led to an increase by 340 and 30% in the impact strength of blends and composites, respectively. Improved toughness was also evidenced by the rough impact fractured surface observed by scanning electron microscope. HBA/HNA copolyester had a positive effect on both tensile and flexural properties in blends and composites. The presence of HBA/HNA copolyester enhanced the crystallization and melting temperature, though it did not change the crystal structure of the blends or composites. The dynamic mechanical property conformed with static property. These findings demonstrated that the incorporation of low amounts of HBA/HNA copolyester can substantially reinforce the wood flour/HDPE composites.
