Interfacial evaluation and durability of modified Jute fibers/polypropylene (PP) composites using micromechanical test and acoustic emission

“…(7). With known c LW S and the contact angles obtained using different liquids on the solid, two equation (10) can be solved to obtain c þ S and c þ S using two test solvent sets, simultaneously.…”

“…The degradation in green composites starts when free hydroxyl ions, OH À and water molecules diffuse into the polymer matrix [8]. Since boiling mechanism is not yet fully understood, many current studies [9][10][11] are directed towards predicting the boiling behavior properly. To produce a strong and durable adhesive strength in natural composites, surface treatment is conventionally necessary.…”

Forced Air Plasma Treatment (FAPT) of Hybrid Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)–Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Surfaces

“…Forced atmospheric (air) plasma treatment (FAPT), also referred to as corona discharge treatment (CDT), is one promising and as yet untested technique to increase the surface energy of WPCs. FAPT or CDT has been used to increase the surface energy of thermoplastic resins such as polyethylene [4][5][6], polypropylene [5,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], polyvinyl chloride [15], poly(ethylene terephthalate) [16], styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber [17], and also composite materials such as polyethylene fiber/epoxy composite [18], polyethylene/ethylene vinyl acetate foams [19] and wood fiber reinforced polyethylene [20]. Further, CDT is an efficient treatment to increase the wettability of lignocellulosic materials [21,22].…”

Study on bonding properties of PVC-based WPC bonded with acrylic adhesive

“…Adhesively bonded specimens are influenced by many factors, with the most important factors being the combining action of humidity and heat [10][11][12][13]. With this in mind, the bonded specimens, in this work, were treated in accordance with test method for bonding strength as given in the Chinese standard GB/T17657 (test methods of evaluating the properties of wood-based panels and surface-decorated wood-based panels) before testing compression shear strengths.…”
