“…The n values of all the PP/CPH composites are close to the value n = 0.5, which indicated that the composites approached toward the Fickian diffusion behavior. Many literatures also reported that the water absorption behavior of natural filler that filled the thermoplastic composites was following the Fickian behavior . According to Table , the k and D values of the PP/CPH composites increased with the increasing of filler content.…”

The present work describes the use of agricultural by‐product of the cocoa pod husk (CPH) as filler in the polypropylene composites. Besides, a green coupling agent (GCA) was developed from the coconut oil for filler modification. The primary objective of using GCA on CPH is to enhance the interfacial adhesion as improved stress transferability in the composites. The overall tensile properties, water absorption, thermal stability, and crystallinity of the composites are significantly improved by the occurrence of GCA. The fracture micrographs via the scanning electron microscopy shows homogeneous distribution of modified CPH particles and better interfacial bonding with matrix which leads to considerable improvement in the properties of the composites. The performance of GCA was comparable with the maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene and silane coupling agent. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:2441–2450, 2018. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…Therefore, a higher MLF content could lead to a higher amount of water absorption. Apart from the diffusion of water by the fibers, poor fiber‐matrix adhesion and fiber debonding from the matrix at higher fiber content could also contribute to the capillary mechanism, which involves the flow of water molecules into the interface region .…”

In this article, the effect of alkaline peroxide bleaching treatment using hydrogen peroxide on mengkuang leaf fiber (MLF) to the tensile, thermal properties and water absorption of thermoplastic elastomer composites based on ethylene-vinyl acetate/natural rubber and MLF was investigated. Fiber morphology and the fiber-matrix interface were further characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Treated composites showed better tensile properties than untreated fiber composites. SEM of the fractured surfaces of the composite specimens indicates that the bleaching treatment improved the interfacial interaction between the fiber and the matrix. The results of thermogravimetric analysis showed a higher thermal stability for treated composites than untreated composites. Furthermore, alkaline bleaching treatment has resulted in reduction of water absorption from 31% to 26% as compared with untreated composites. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 26:127-134, 2020. FIG. 6. Scanning electron micrographs of MLF subjected to different treatments. (a) untreated MLF (mag 500×), (b) untreated MLF (mag 700×), (c) treated MLF (mag 500×), and (d) treated MLF (mag 700×).

In this article, the effect of various surface modifications on the properties and durability of jute fiber‐reinforced epoxy composites (JFRECs) was studied. Jute fiber was surface modified to improve its compatibility with the hydrophobic epoxy matrix. The surface modifications investigated include alkali treatment, silane treatment, and the combined effect of alkali and silane treatments. JFRECs were prepared by vacuum‐assisted resin infusion (VARI) process. The surface topography of the untreated and modified fibers was examined by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical properties, such as flexural properties and interfacial shear strength (IFSS), and thermomechanical properties, such as dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of the composites of untreated and modified fibers were determined. The durability studies such as water uptake as well as the effect of moisture on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the untreated and combined chemically treated fiber composites were examined. It was found that the combined modification provided better mechanical and thermal properties of composites in comparison with untreated composite due to strong fiber–matrix interfacial adhesion. The rate of water absorption for chemically treated fiber composite was found to be lesser than the untreated fiber composite. There was a significant drop in the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the composites after exposure to moisture. This could be due to the fiber degradation and de‐bonding at the interface during the immersion of the composite samples in water. POLYM.
