“…The higher surface energy of SiC nanoparticles and better interaction between AAFHF, SiC nanoparticles and UPR resulted in compact and firm hybrid composite specimen F with better wear-resistant characteristics. 42 The minimum number of voids and other damages like fiber pull-out and AAFHF-UPR debonding witnessed in the wear surface SEM image of composite specimen F shown in Figure 6c further supports the better wear resistance property of composite specimen F. Deterioration is noticed in the wear property of composite specimen G with 4 wt% of SiC nanoparticles as filler material. The reason for the poor wear property in composite specimen G is the aggregation of SiC nanoparticles in the composite thereby affects the interaction between the AAFHF, SiC nanoparticle and UPR thus favoring void formation, AAFHF-UPR debonding and AAFHF pull-outs paving way for poor wear properties.…”

“…This is supported by the wear surface SEM image of composite specimen E shown in Figure 6b with fewer damages compared to composite specimen D. The least weight loss and better wear resistance property was noticed for the composite specimen F with 3 wt% of SiC nanoparticle filler material. The higher surface energy of SiC nanoparticles and better interaction between AAFHF, SiC nanoparticles and UPR resulted in compact and firm hybrid composite specimen F with better wear‐resistant characteristics 42 . The minimum number of voids and other damages like fiber pull‐out and AAFHF‐UPR debonding witnessed in the wear surface SEM image of composite specimen F shown in Figure 6c further supports the better wear resistance property of composite specimen F.…”

This work presents the comprehensive characterization of alkali treated areca fruit husk fiber (AAFHF) an industrial agro-waste reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrix hybrid composite with silicon carbide (SiC) nanoparticles as filler material. Hybrid composite plates were fabricated with 40 wt% of AAFHF and diverse wt% of SiC nanoparticles ranging from 1 to 4 wt% in steps of 1 wt%. The effect of wt% of SiC nanoparticles in hybrid composite over mechanical, morphological, wear, thermal and water absorption characteristics was investigated. The findings help to conclude that a hybrid composite plate with 3 wt% filler content excels in overall properties. Meanwhile, the accumulation and meager scattering of SiC nanoparticles in composite deteriorated the functional characteristics when the wt% of filler content enhanced to 4 wt%. Also, the failure pattern and interaction between AAFHF, SiC nanoparticle and UPR were understood from the images obtained using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). In addition, the availability of functional groups, crystallite size and crystallinity index was obtained from Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis for the optimum filler content respectively. Moreover, the achieved results suggest the suitability of the developed composite for marine and lightweight applications.

“…Furthermore, a de-polymerization of the polyester can be performed and at the same time to preserve the cellulose in cotton and recover both. Finally, other paths may be applicable, such as to reuse these fibers for composite and nonwoven production, and dye production via extraction [44][45][46][47]. Fig.…”

“…Biocomposites containing lignocellulosic fractions combined with biopolymers from natural sources would be an ideal solution to obtain sustainable materials. Lignocellulosic materials represent a renewable, biodegradable, lightweight, and abundant source, making them attractive for the development of sustainable products [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. Among other renewable alternatives, cork-polymer biocomposites (CPCs) have attracted the attention of scientists and companies [ 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Development of Cork Biocomposites Enriched with Chitosan Targeting Antibacterial and Antifouling Properties

et al. 2023

The demand for bio-based and safer composite materials is increasing due to the growth of the industry, human population, and environmental concerns. In this framework, sustainable and safer cork-polymer composites (CPC), based on green low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were developed using melt-based technologies. Chitosan and polyethylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PE-g-MA) were employed to enhance the CPC’s properties. The morphology, wettability, mechanical, thermal, and antibacterial properties of the CPC against Pseudomonas putida (P. putida) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) were examined. The CPC showed improved stiffness when compared with that of the LDPE matrix, preferably when combined with chitosan and PE-g-MA (5 wt. %), reinforcing the stiffness (58.8%) and the strength (66.7%). Chitosan also increased the composite stiffness and strength, as well as reduced the surface hydrophilicity. The CPCs’ antibacterial activity revealed that cork significantly reduces the biofilm on the polymer matrix. The highest biofilm reduction was found with CPC containing cork and 5 wt. % chitosan for both P. putida (54% reduction) and S. aureus (36% reduction), confirming their potential to extend the lifespan of products for packaging and healthcare, among other applications. This work leads to the understanding of the factors that influence biofilm formation in cork composites and provides a strategy to reinforce their behavior using chitosan.
