“…Nanoindentation is a powerful, non-destructive tool to calculate mechanical properties. It is sensitive to filler dispersion, filler content, and the interfacial adhesion of matrix-fiber phases; thus, it allows the direct comparison between neat polymers and their composites [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ]. The heterogeneities of WPC that appears due to nonhomogeneous distribution can also be detected by this technique [ 4 ].…”

Nanoindentation is widely used to investigate the surface-mechanical properties of biocomposites. In this study, polypropylene random copolymer (PPRC) and biowaste rice husk (BRH) were used as the main raw materials, and glass-fiber-reinforced polypropylene and talc were also used with BRH to enhance the mechanical characterization of the biocomposites. The interfacial bonding between the polymer and the rice husk was increased by treating them with maleic anhydride and NaOH, respectively. The results obtained from the nanoindentation indicated that the plastic behavior of the biocomposites was prominent when untreated BRH was used and vice versa. The modulus and hardness of the biocomposite improved by 44.8% and 54.8% due to the neat PPRC, respectively. The tribological properties were studied based on the hardness-to-modulus ratio and it was found that BRH- and talc-based biocomposites were better than other samples in terms of low friction and wear rate. The creep measurements showed that untreated rice husk biocomposite exhibited high resistance to load deformation.
