“…The addition of compatabilizer (polyester amide grafted glycidyl methacrylate (PEA-g-GMA) was seen to increase the thermal stability of composites. In another interesting study involving bio-composites, the effect of alkali treatment on the thermal properties of Indian grass fiber reinforced soy protein bio-composites was studied by the same group [198]. Natural rubber was reinforced using two hybrid bio-fibers namely sisal and oil palm.…”

In recent years, natural fibers reinforced composites have received much attention because of their lightweight, nonabrasive, combustible, nontoxic, low cost and biodegradable properties. Among the various natural fibers; flax, bamboo, sisal, hemp, ramie, jute, and wood fibers are of particular interest. A lot of research work has been performed all over the world on the use of natural fibers as a reinforcing material for the preparation of various types of composites. However, lack of good interfacial adhesion, low melting point, and poor resistance towards moisture make the use of natural fiber reinforced composites less attractive. Pretreatments of the natural fiber can clean the fiber surface, chemically modify the surface, stop the moisture absorption process, and increase the surface roughness. Among the various pretreatment techniques, graft copolymerization and plasma treatment are the best methods for surface modification of natural fibers. Graft copolymers of natural fibers with vinyl monomers provide better adhesion between matrix and fiber. In the present article, the use of pretreated natural fibers in polymer matrix‐based composites has been reviewed. Effect of surface modification of natural fibers on the properties of fibers and fiber reinforced polymer composites has also been discussed. POLYM. ENG.

“…Such an interaction may be achieved by improving the interfacial adhesion between the natural silk fibers and the biodegradable polymer matrix, as studied in other biocomposite systems. [22][23][24] Figure 8 illustrates the variation of the storage modulus (top) and the tan ␦ (bottom) as a function of temperature measured for PBS, an as-separated waste silk/PBS biocomposite and four chopped waste silk/ PBS biocomposites fabricated with varying fiber lengths. A summary of the storage moduli measured at the tan ␦ peak, at 50°C, and 100°C is given in Table II.…”

This article reports the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) biocomposites reinforced with industrially available waste silk fibers, fabricated with varying fiber contents and lengths. The result indicates that use of waste silk fibers may be a potential as reinforcement for effectively improving the static and dynamic mechanical properties of a biodegradable polymer matrix resin, depending on the waste silk fiber content and length in the present biocomposite system. The "as-separated" waste silk/PBS biocomposites showed the maximum tensile and flexural properties at a fiber loading of 40 wt %, and the "chopped" waste silk/PBS biocomposites showed the optimal strength and modulus with waste silk fibers of 12.7 mm length. The chopped waste silk fibers play a more contributing role in improving the mechanical properties of waste silk/PBS biocomposites than the as-separated waste silk fibers at a fixed fiber loading. Above the glass transition temperature, the storage modulus of waste silk/PBS biocomposites was significantly greater than that of PBS resin, especially in the higher temperature region.
