“…The chemical methods to modify cellulose fibers include alkali treatment, acetylation, coupling agent treatment, and peroxide treatment to name a few. Physical methods like steam explosion, heat treatment, reactive gas treatment methods like corona treatment and cold plasma treatment are also used to modify the fiber surface . Among the two methods, chemical modification methods are studied in depth and well‐known.…”

The influence of epoxy resin modification by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on various properties of warp knitted viscose fabric is reported in this study. Dynamic mechanical, impact resistance, flexural, thermal properties, and burning behavior of the epoxy/viscose fabric composites are studied with respect to varying content of silane coupling agent. The results obtained for APTES‐modified epoxy resin based composites reinforced with unmodified viscose fabric composites are compared to unmodified epoxy resin based composites reinforced with APTES‐modified viscose fabric. The dynamic mechanical behavior of the APTES‐modified resin based composites indicates improved interfacial adhesion. The composites prepared from modified epoxy resin exhibited a twofold increase in impact resistance. The improved adhesion between the fiber and modified resin was also visible from the scanning electron microscope analysis of the impact fracture surface. There was less influence of resin modification on the flexural properties of the composites. The 5% APTES modification induced early degradation of composites compared to all other composites. The burning rate of all the composites under study is rated to be satisfactory for use in automotive interior applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018, 135, 46673.

“…In the last years, natural fillers such as wood flour, coconut shell, kenaf bast, pineapple leaf, sansevieria leaf, abaca leaf, flax, sisal, jute, banana bamboo, date, palm, and sugarcane fibers have been used as reinforcement in polymer composites that are competitive with synthetic composites . Natural fillers have attracted the interest of researchers and have experienced a rapid expansion over the last decade, due to the advantageous features, i.e., abundance, environmental friendliness, biodegradability, nontoxicity, low cost and density, flexibility during processing, and fairly good mechanical properties …”

We describe the use of Pachystroma longifolium (Nees) I. M. Johnst, commonly called canxim, as a radiolytic stabilizer of PVC exposed to γ‐irradiation. Results obtained by viscosity analysis shows that ashes from canxim leaves at the concentration of 0.7 wt% provided macromolecular radioprotective action of 88.2% to the PVC. FT‐IR spectra analysis reveals the existence of specific intermolecular interactions between PVC and canxim ashes. Furthermore, thermogravimetric analysis shows that canxim can also be a potential thermal stabilizer for PVC matrix. Hence, we suggest that canxim have interesting applications in radiolytic and thermal stabilization of PVC.

“…This study reported an increase in the tensile modulus with the addition of fillers, explaining that the fibers can cause strain-induced crystallization in natural rubber. The dispersion of the fibers in the composites, however, remains challenging because they tend to agglomerate 5 . For nanoparticle dispersions in natural rubber composites, an effective method for the dispersion of particles in latex has already been demonstrated 1,[18][19][20] .…”

“…However, there has been growing interest in the substitution of the synthetic fillers, which are widely used in industrially manufactured rubber composites, by natural fillers that are extracted from a renewable sources because of the sustainability of natural rubber [3][4][5] . Natural fibers may be suitable as reinforcements in the natural rubber matrix if they have a tensile strength comparable to those of synthetic fillers, such as glass and carbon fibers 1,5 . Jute fiber is a commercially available and cheap natural fiber; furthermore, it has a high cellulose content 6,7 .…”

“…To use these lignocellulosic fibers in polymeric composites, removal of the lignin and other amorphous materials is necessary to allow the separation of the fibrils on their structure 4,7 . The most common procedure to remove these materials is alkali treatment using a high-concentration sodium hydroxide solution 4,5,8 . The alkali-treated fibers can be used as reinforcement for different types of polymer composites, such as polypropylene 9,10 , epoxy resin 8,11,12 and poly (lactic acid) 13,14 .…”

The Influence of Bleached Jute Fiber Filler on the Properties of Vulcanized Natural Rubber

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

There is growing interest in replacing the synthetic reinforcements used for natural rubber (NR) composites with natural fibers from renewable, environmentally sustainable sources. Jute fibers may be suitable reinforcements for NR because they have a high tensile strength, which is comparable to other fillers such as glass fibers. Thus, we studied the incorporation of bleached jute fibers into NR, characterizing the mechanical, dynamic mechanical, and morphological properties of the composites. The addition of fibers to the NR latex was achieved by chemical coagulation, followed by vulcanization in a laboratory two-roll mixing mill. The elastic modulus at 100 and 300% elongation of the NR doubled after the addition of 10 phr of fibers without significant loss in the tensile strength or the elongation at break. The hardness was increased by 47%, and the storage modulus also increased, indicating the excellent interactions between the surfaces of the fibers and the NR matrix.
