“…The results confirm that the surface modification of the filler can improve the adhesion at the interface between filler and LDPE, which could in turn decrease the interfacial thermal barriers and hence increase the thermal conductivity. The improvement of the interfacial adhesion between filler and LDPE also implies stronger interaction between filler and LDPE, which will reduce the mobility of some of the free polar groups in LDPE, leading to reduction in the D k of the composites [27,45,46]. The lower D f of modified-filler filled composites when compared with that of pristine filler filled composites can be also attributed to the improved interfacial adhesion between filler and LDPE [31,47].…”

“…Several natural fibers have been used as reinforcement phase for different polymer matrices [25][26][27], as shown in Table 1 [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. Among the natural fibers, the jute is currently one of the cheapest and accounts for the highest production volume [28].…”

Environmental concerns and cost reduction have encouraged the use of natural fillers as reinforcement in polymer composites. Currently, a wide variety of reinforcement, such as natural fibers and nanocellulose, are used for this purpose. Composite materials with natural fillers have not only met the environmental appeal, but also contribute to developing low-density materials with improved properties. The production of natural fillers is unlimited around the world, and many species are still to be discovered. Their processing is considered beneficial since the natural fillers do not cause corrosion or great wear of the equipment. For these reasons, polymer reinforced with natural fillers has been considered a good alternative for obtaining ecofriendly materials for several applications, including the automotive industry. This review explores the use of natural fillers (natural fibers, cellulose nanocrystals, and nanofibrillated cellulose) as reinforcement in polymer composites for the automotive industry.

“…The particle size reduction and alkali treatment had a positive effect on the flexural strength of composites. It was revealed that the flexural strength (39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48) MPa for untreated and 43-56 MPa for treated composites) gradually increased with a decrease in the particle size from 250 to 75 μm. The lowest flexural strength (39 MPa for untreated and 43 MPa for treated composites) was observed for a particle size of 250 μm.…”

The main objective and novelty of this study is to investigate the effect of particle size and alkali treatment on physical, mechanical properties of tamarind pod shell (TPS)‐reinforced epoxy composites. The treated and untreated composites were fabricated with different particle sizes with TPS content of 10 wt%. The mechanical, physical, and morphological properties of specimens were investigated. It was revealed that the density and mechanical properties of the treated and untreated composites increased with the decrease in the particle size; whereas, the water absorption percentage and void content decreased for the same. The treated composite with the particle size of 75 μm exhibited the maximum tensile, flexural, and compressive strength. Further, the multiscale finite element (FE) model was developed using the Digimat‐FE software to simulate the tensile behavior of composites with different particle size. The simulation results revealed that the stress concentration level was more in the vicinity of the voids, and the higher stress concentration was observed in the matrix phase with the increase in particle size. Also, it was found that the predicted results from the multiscale FE model showed a good agreement with the experimental results. The results suggested that the TPS filled epoxy composites have potential utility in the fields of automotive interior panels, particulate board panels, household goods, packaging materials, building partitions, and many other applications.
