“…Morphological observations confirmed that the removal of cementing agents from raw banana fibers enhanced the fiber adhesion properties with matrix. The electrical properties of banana and other natural fibers reinforced high density polyethylene composites have been studied and found that the untreated banana fiber showed better resistivity and volume resistivity while maleic anhydride treated agave fiber composites showed minimum surface resistivity and volume resistivity 35 .…”

The concern for the environmental pollution and the prevention of resources has attracted researchers to develop new eco-friendly green materials based on sustainability principles. In this experimental study, there are six different composite samples were fabricated by using banana and carbon fibers with epoxy resin matrix. The mechanical properties such as tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength, and water uptake properties of these composites have been evaluated. The composites reinforced with pure carbon fibers can hold the maximum tensile strength of 288.03 MPa, flexural strength of 3.12 kN, impact strength of 4.58 J and water intake percentage of 62.3%. Whereas the composites reinforced with carbon and banana fibers can withstand the maximum tensile strength of 277.06 MPa, flexural strength of 3.07 kN, impact strength of 4.36 J and water intake percentage of 70%. The finite element analysis has been carried out to predict the mechanical properties of the composites by using ANSYS 15.0. The experimental results are compared with the predicted values and have found that, there is a high correlation occurs between the results. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis is carried out to study the fiber matrix interfaces and analyse the structure of the fractured and water absorbed surfaces.

“…These composites can be used in different myriad fields from the residential buildings to aeronautic industries due to their low cost, biodegradability, ease of processing, and the absence of toxic byproducts . Other natural and wood fillers can be also treated to develop various polymer composites, for example, agro‐waste and maleic anhydride (MA) treated or maleated polymers (polystyrene, novolac, high density polyethylene, and cane bagasse‐melamine formaldehyde). On the other hand, the use of renewable, low price, and recycling waste resources in plastic composites is becoming more common .…”

In this research work, dynamic, mechanical, and thermophysical properties of untreated and 5, 7, and 10 wt % styrene treated tea dust (TD):polypropylene (PP) composites prepared by injection‐molding machine were elaborated. There were distinctive and significant improvement observed in mechanical properties (tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break), physical analysis (water swelling), dynamic mechanical properties (storage modulus, loss modulus, and tan δ), and thermal behavior and surface morphological properties of styrene treated TD:PP (40:60) composites as compared to that of untreated one. The tensile strength (from 7.00 to 9.95 MPa), tensile modulus (from 350 to 715 MPa), storage modulus (from 8500 to ∼10,500 MPa), and loss modulus (from ∼150 to ∼200 MPa) increased on 10 wt % styrene treatment of TD over the untreated TD:PP (40:60) composites. The styrene treated TD:PP (40:60) composites behaved as more elastic than their pure counterpart. Styrene treated TD:PP (40:60) composites were more thermally more stable (85 °C difference) as compared to virgin PP. Overall, this research also indicates the use of TD waste. An improvement in dispersion of styrene treated TD particles in PP was also observed in the preparation of the PP composites due to good compatibility of styrene with PP. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…A reduction in the swelling of water was observed in the case of highly crystalline maleic anhydride treated or maleated PP and maleated wood flour composites having a high weight ratio of flour to PP . Other natural and wood fillers, which were treated to develop various polymer composites, for example, agrowaste based novolac and maleated polystyrene, high‐density polyethylene, and cane bagasse–melamine formaldehyde . The better crosslinking and uniform dispersion of filler in the PP matrix can be achieved by the surface treatment of the filler …”

In this study, the effects of a coupling agent and additive on the physicomechanical (morphological, mechanical, thermal, and swelling) properties of tea dust (TD)–polypropylene (PP) composites were studied. TD–PP composites were prepared with untreated tea dust (UTD) and tetraethylsilane (TES)‐treated TD or silanated tea dust (STD) particles at ratios of 0:100, 10:90, 20:80, 30:70, and 40:60 w/w. Initially, TD particles were grafted by TES as a coupling agent, and these STD particles were then modified with graphene oxide (GO) as an additive to study their effects on the STD–PP composites; these were compared to the STD–PP and UTD–PP composites in accordance with a study of improvements in the mechanical properties. All of the TD–PP composites were analyzed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and mechanical, thermal, and physical tests. The thermal and mechanical properties of both the STD–PP and GO‐modified STD–PP composites were found to be improved as compared to those of the UTD–PP composites. So, the recycling of a large amount of TD as a waste material could be useful in the preparation of TD–PP composites. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 42927.
