Developing plant fibre composites for structural applications by optimising composite parameters: a critical review

2013

Plant fibres, perceived as environmentally sustainable substitutes to E-glass, are increasingly being employed as reinforcements in polymer matrix composites. However, despite the promising technical properties of cellulose-based fibres and the historic use of plant fibre reinforced plastics (PFRPs) in load-bearing components, the industrial uptake of PFRPs in structural applications has been limited. Through an up-to-date critical review of the literature, this manuscript presents an overview on key aspects that need consideration when developing PFRPs for structural applications, including the selection of (I) the fibre type, fibre extraction process and fibre surface modification technique, (II) fibre vo\lume fraction, (III) reinforcement geometry and interfacial properties, (IV) reinforcement packing arrangement and orientation and (V) matrix type and composite manufacturing technique. A comprehensive materials selection chart (Ashby plot) is also produced to facilitate the design of a PFRP component, based on the (absolute and specific) tensile properties.

“…The use of natural fiber composites has increased due to the unlimited availability of natural fibers, their relative cheapness compared to conventional materials such as glass and aramid fibers, multi-functionality, their ability to be recycled, and for the fact that they compete well in terms of strength per unit weight of material [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Natural fibers like jute, flax, hemp coir and sisal have all proved to be good reinforcement in thermoset and thermoplastic matrices and have been used in automotive applications, construction as well as in packaging industries [8][9][10][11][12][13].…”

This paper summarizes the structural characterization of borassus fruit fibers by means of various characterization techniques, optimization of alkali treatment of borassus fruit fine fibers (BFF) with a 5% concentration sodium hydroxide solution for different time intervals (1, 4, 8 and 12 h) and the changes occurring in borassus fibers. This paper also discusses the manufacturing of BFF/PP compotes using MAPP as a compatibilizer in addition to alkali treatment. Composites were evaluated for their mechanical and morphological properties. The tensile strength and modulus, flexural strength and modulus and impact strength were increased for alkali treated/MAPP composites by 4.5%, 17%, 17.2 %, 9% and 10% respectively.

“…In durable structural use, the LCF-based composites have been used as beam, roof parts, multipurpose panel, pedestrian bridge [120][121][122]. Recently, researchers have successfully used polymeric coating and modification of lignocellulosics to develop fire-retardant LCF polymer composites [123].…”

A brief review on the chemical modifications of lignocellulosic fibers for durable engineering composites

et al. 2015

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A brief review has been presented on the existing methods to enhance the durability of lignocellulosic fibers (LCFs) for manufacturing composites for engineering applications. The free hydroxyl groups of the cellulose chains within LCFs tend to attract water molecules in moist environment, which may cause the fibers to swell and the cellulose chains to lose their integrity due to hydrolysis and oxidation imparted by the actions of biogenic enzymes or chemical factors, such as acidity, alkalinity, and salinity or UV irradiation. This study mainly highlights those technologies that present the modifications of cellulose main chain within the LCFs to improve the degradation resistance and mechanical strength. Detailed pros and cons of those chemical modifications have also been presented in this study with possible applications of the composites with special reference to durability.
