“…Various structures from fibers to complicated structures have been designed to provide the desired properties and to reduce the overall cost of composite without compromising the final performance. 25,27 The fibers can be found in a variety of forms including short fibers, 28 continuous fibers, 29 whiskers, 30 nanofibers, 31 hollow fibers 32 or looped form fibers. 33 Interface is the region between the polymeric matrix and the discontinuous phase (fibers or fillers) and is considered to be the predominant factor that strongly affect the FRPCs performance.…”

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) have gained great progress in a wide range of applications from construction and building structures to automobile and vehicle systems. During the operational lifetime, some FRPCs are exposed to various environmental conditions such as thermal cycles and thermal shocks. Fluctuation of the ambient temperature in the forms of thermal shocks or thermal cycles is one of the most important factors that deteriorate the durability and performance of the FRPCs. Compared to ceramic composites, less attention has been paid to the effects of thermal shocks and thermal cycles on the physical/mechanical properties of FRPCs. A comprehensive insight for the future advancements in this field is essential to possibly reduce the failure risks of FRPCs under thermal shocks and thermal cycles. The present work provides a comprehensive review on the physical/mechanical behavior of FRPCs under thermal cycles and thermal shocks. This work also provides a broad review on several factors that determines mechanical behavior of FRPCs, such as polymeric matrix, fiber type, incorporated nanofillers and fiber/polymer interface. Recent studies denoting important aspects and possible problems in mechanical performance of FRPCs under thermal shocks are also summarized.

“…minimize water uptake). 12 In this respect, Jagadish and Ray 21 have reported that the addition of natural pineapple leaves to epoxy resin, the mechanical properties were greatly enhanced. Vercher et al 22 have studied the influence of natural fiber types like rice husk and pine wood sawdust on the properties of polyvinyl chloride and polyethylene, respectively, to produce wood-plastic composites.…”

Natural volatile antibacterial and anti-mycotoxin tea tree oil (TTO) with rice bran (RB) were used as a solid carrier for achieving a sustained release profile with high antimicrobial efficiency in polyethylene films. Acrylic acid (AAc) monomer was grafted onto a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) through melt blending using a Brabender Plasti-Corder. The low-density polyethylene-grafted acrylic acid (LDPE- g-AAc) was thoroughly characterized by attenuated total reflectance–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. LDPE and LDPE- g-AAc (80/20) were mixed with different contents of untreated RB and treated TTO/RB using melt blending to obtain sustainable composites, namely LDPE/LDPE- g-AAc/RB and LDPE/LDPE- g-AAc/TTO-RB, respectively. The effect of the addition of untreated and treated RB on the properties of biocomposites was assessed by using mechanical, barrier, and thermal properties. A prominent decrease in water vapor transmission rate occurred when adding 30 wt% of TTO/RB to LDPE/LDPE- g-AAc blend compared to virgin polymer. This decrease was due to the barrier effect of lignocellulosic material, particularly at high bio-filler content. The prepared biocomposites revealed good thermal stability when compared to virgin LDPE. Moreover, the biodegradability and antimicrobial properties of LDPE/LDPE- g-AAc/TTO-RB biofilms were enhanced with increasing TTO/RB contents from 10 phr to 30 phr due to the combination between LDPE- g-AAc and TTO. The obtained data revealed excellent possibility for using biopolymer grafted with antimicrobial TTO by adding RB for food packaging and biomedical purposes.

“…The surface modification of PLF helped to attain enhanced properties. Jagadish et al 10 investigated the characteristics of PLF/Epoxy composite by varying the fiber length, fiber loading, and composite thickness. The peak tensile and flexural strengths were achieved as 83.75 and 140.65 MPa at 5 mm thickness and 10% fiber loading.…”

In this article, gray relational analysis (GRA) was carried out to study the influence of fiber length, fiber loading, and injection parameters on the mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of the developed green composites. The green composite was developed by chemically modifying the pineapple leaf fiber (PLF). PLF was chemically treated with 1% Na2CO3 for a period of 6 h. The chemically modified PLF was chopped at a fiber length (L) of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm. The fiber loading (D) was also varied to 10, 20, and 30 wt% to study the effect of both fiber length and loading on the tensile and flexural properties of the PLF/PLA green composite developed through injection molding. GRA was employed to determine the optimal fiber length and fiber loading for achieving better tensile and flexural properties of PLF/PLA green composite. The injection parameters considered for producing the PLF/PLA green composite were (a) injection pressure (70, 90, and 110 bars), (b) injection speed (40, 50, and 60 mm/s), and (c) melting temperature (165, 175, and 185°C). The mechanical (tensile, flexural, compression, and shear) and thermal (TGA: thermogravimetric analysis and DTG: derivative thermogravimetric analysis) behavior of the developed PLF/PLA green composite was studied and analyzed. The morphology of the fractured specimens was also inspected using field‐emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).
