“…2a and b). The increase of the absorbance intensity upon alkali treatment suggests a reduction in inter-molecular/intra-molecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl groups of cellulose and hemicellulose of D. oliveri wood flour [11,25]. The absorption band at m 1715 cm 21 is attributed to the m(CAO) of the carboxyl and ester groups in hemicelluloses of the wood fiber, which is prominent in raw wood flour as evident in Fig.…”

The effects of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) concentration and time of treatment on the mechanism of fiber/matrix bond and functional properties of Daniella oliveri reinforced wood polymer composites (WPCs) were investigated. The WPCs were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mechanical testing, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry. The fiber/matrix adhesion mechanism could be attributed to the disruption of hydrogen bonding in the D. oliveri wood fiber network structure and the removal of lignin, wax and oils covering the external surface of the fiber cell wall. This leads to an increase in desirable functional properties as alkaline concentrations reached 4 wt%, but subsequently reduced at higher concentrations, while they increased with treatment time. Analysis of the fractographs of the WPCs suggests optimization of interfacial fiber–matrix adhesion and functional properties when D. oliveri wood fiber was treated with a 4 wt% solution of NaOH for 150 min.

This article is a comprehensive review on the mechanical and tribological behavior of four plant fi bers (hemp, kenaf, coconut and broom) and the products design made based on these plant fi bers. The treatments and the chemical and physical characteristics of these types of plant fi bers are investigated to understand the applications in design fi eld. The application of plant fi bers are subject to many scientifi c and research projects, as well as many commercial projects. Data around these fi bers are being collected and analyzed to arrange them and add new value for future applications. In most studies, natural fi bers are used as replacement of traditional fi bers in fi ber-reinforced composites, or in automotive sector, geo textiles and other engineering fi elds. The research carried on is been organized so that mechanical and chemical-physical characteristics of these plant fi bers can be used in conjunction with previous studies, to give a new scenario for design applications. In general, natural fi bers have the advantages of biodegradability, low density, abundance and renewability, non-toxic nature, useful mechanical properties, and low cost. However, the main disadvantages of natural fi bers are (i) the poor compatibility between fi ber and matrix in composites and (ii) the relative high moisture sorption.In addition, the project will improve opportunities for sustainable goods through the development of design, strategies of ecological sustainable products. Paper will outline a possible development of a product, which will be feasible gratefully to the direct application of the results and tests of the tools and methods made through out of the research.
