“…Anuar et al. [16] prepared the thermoplastic natural rubber (TPNR) hybrid composite with short glass fiber and empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber by melt blending method using an internal mixer type. Tensile properties increased with the application of a coupling agent because of improved fiber/matrix adherence as observed in the SEM micrograph.…”

“…17,18 Recently, hybridization with glass fibers has been a topic of research interest to reinforce WPCs. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Hybrid composites benefit from two types of reinforcements to cooperate low cost and high performance. Although the green characteristics of hybrid WPCs (HWPCs) are lower than those of WPCs, their enhanced mechanical properties are interesting to the researchers.…”

This article presents an experimental investigation on the effect of glass fiber length on the mechanical properties of hybrid wood-plastic composites (HWPCs) manufactured via an extrusion process. There is a substantial interest in enhancing the mechanical performance of WPCs. Incorporation of glass fibers has been found to be an effective remedy in this regard. Theoretically, it is expected that mechanical properties can be improved via applying longer fibers. Three different lengths, 5, 15, and 25 mm of glass fibers were added to the WPC compounds to reinforce WPCs in an extrusion process. In addition, continuous glass fibers were also embedded into the extruded WPC with 70 wt% wood content, utilizing a special equipment in extrusion. Mechanical tests showed that applying noncontinuous glass fibers only marginally improved the mechanical strengths. In contrast, continuous fibers did significantly enhance the final properties of the produced profiles. The glass fiber size was also measured after extrusion, and it was observed that severe fiber breakages occurred during the process, which is the main reason for the inefficiency of noncontinuous fibers. The flexural, tensile, and impact strengths were improved up to 14%, 50%, and seven times in the continuously glass fibers reinforced WPC.

“…The observed trends agree quite well with a previous work on various polymer systems filled oil palm empty fruit bunch and rice husk consequently. 14,15 Scanning electron microscope Figures 7(a)-(c) show the scanning electron microscope (SEM) pictures of tensile strength fractured surfaces for the untreated C, CO, and CH composites. It can be seen that composition C has a smooth fracture surface with a ductile fracture mode, which is due to elastic nature of the XNBR in the absence of any treatment apart from the addition of ZnO and stearic acid where some of these particles are shown in the picture.…”

Two types of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) composites were prepared; one of which was XNBR reinforced with organic filler-based olive solid by-product (OSB) and the other was XNBR reinforced with a combination of OSB and organo-layered nanoclay. To enhance the interaction between both the fillers and the matrix, the samples were exposed to electron beam (EB) treatment under ambient conditions. The samples were inspected with reference to their mechanical and dynamic mechanical (DMA) properties. It has been found that the tensile strength at break was enhanced after EB treatment for both composites. Such scenario was attributed to the irradiation-induced vulcanization. To support the observed trend, the pulse nuclear magnetic resonance technique was implemented. It has been found that the relaxation time ( T2) was shortened after EB treatment. As further evidence on the fact that EB treatment was effective, the attenuated total reflectance infrared spectra were utilized as well. The IR results showed an increment in the spectra intensities after EB treatments. Scanning electron microscope revealed that EB treatment has turned their surface rough with an improved interaction between the matrix and the filler. DMA results were in harmony with the tensile properties in the sense that increased elastic modulus ( E′) with filler incorporation. The intensity of the mechanical loss factor (tan δ) was a sign on the reinforcing capability of the fillers as well as improved interaction between the composite components.
