“…In contrast, the impact strength of SHS-OPMF/PP biocomposites (i.e., the 190 C sample) increased to 96% higher than untreated biocomposites. The results obtained were in agreement with a report by Hosseini et al (2012), which exhibited that impact strength of biocomposite with the incorporation of flax fiber in polyurethane (PU) matrix was higher compared to neat PU. However, upon addition of fiber treated at temperatures over 220 C, the impact strength decreased to as low as 47 J/m.…”

The effect of fiber surface modification by superheated steam (SHS) treatment and fiber content (30 to 50 wt.%) was evaluated relative to the mechanical, morphology, thermal, and water absorption properties of oil palm mesocarp fiber (OPMF)/polypropylene (PP) biocomposites. SHS treatment of OPMF was conducted between 190 and 230 C for 1 h, then the SHS-treated fiber was subjected to melt-blending with PP for biocomposite production. The biocomposite prepared from SHS-OPMF treated at 210 C with 30 wt.% fiber loading resulted in SHS-OPMF/PP biocomposites with a tensile strength of 20.5 MPa, 25% higher than untreated-OPMF/PP biocomposites. A significant reduction of water absorption by 31% and an improved thermal stability by 8% at T5%degradation were also recorded. Scanning electron microscopy images of fractured SHS-OPMF/PP biocomposites exhibited less fiber pull-out, indicating that SHS treatment improved interfacial adhesion between fiber and PP. The results demonstrated SHS treatment is an effective surface modification method for biocomposite production.

“…As a result, the two sides of the fabric are not identical. The warp predominates on one side, and on the other, the weft predominates [43]. For the remainder of this paper, for simplicity reasons, the term "unidirectional bio-based material" is used to refer to the unidirectional composite bio-based material, and "twill bio-based material" refers to the twill composite material.…”

“…The solution was the development of "bio-based" materials. The term "bio-based" currently refers to materials with plant or animal origins [39,41,43,44]. It is hoped that, using bio-based materials, designers should be able to develop new strategies, concepts, and products that have a reduced impact on the environment [44][45][46].…”

Based on a comparative method, this paper discusses a sustainable perspective for the use of a certain bio-based material instead of synthetic materials, using human beings, with their sensory perceptions, as the central measurement tools. The innovative eco-design approaches are aimed at radical environmental improvements by focusing on the services provided to consumers. In improving the quality of a product, equity and environmental harmony have become issues and constant challenges in companies’ quests for modernization. In order to achieve this goal, one of the solutions taken into account by companies in order to be increasingly competitive is to replace, sometimes partially and other times totally, synthetic materials with new non-food, bio-based materials in the manufacturing process. The approach in this paper is aimed at better integrating tactile characteristics in designing green products. The detailed review of the literature shows that a consumer’s subjective perception is of paramount importance in their decision to accept a new product. Focusing on the sensory characteristics of materials with bio-based and synthetic origins, this paper draws conclusions about their resemblances and differences. The various subjective sensations when touching the two types of material are compared in order to obtain results that can protect the environment in the future.

Please cite this article as: Adlina Paramarta, Dean C. Webster, Bio-based high performance epoxy-anhydride thermosets for structural composites: The effect of composition variables, (2016), AbstractThe structure-property relationships of a designed series of anhydride-cured epoxidized sucrose soyate (ESS) thermosets were studied. Epoxidized sucrose soyate is a novel bio-based epoxy resin derived from sucrose and soybean oil fatty acids, and it contains an average of 12 epoxy functional groups per molecule. This epoxy resin was crosslinked with methyl hexahydrophthalic anhydride to form polyester thermosets with high crosslink density, and a zinc-complex catalyst was used. In this study, the impact of composition variables-anhydrideto-epoxy molar ratio and catalyst amount-on the chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the thermosets were examined. All of the thermoset samples had very high gel fraction, which indicated excellent network connectivity. Samples made using an equimolar ratio of anhydrideto-epoxy groups had lower conversion of functional groups as shown by the somewhat lower gel fraction and higher moisture absorption. Analysis of the thermomechanical and tensile properties of the thermosets suggests that there is a factor interaction between anhydride-toepoxy molar ratio and catalyst amount. Furthermore, the results suggest that the molecular networks of the thermoset samples are fairly complex due to the simultaneous competing reactions between catalyst-initiated epoxy-anhydride, hydroxyl-initiated epoxy-anhydride, and epoxy homopolymerization.
