“…Among basalt fiber-reinforced thermoplastics, poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) is an excellent green plastics polymerized from bio-based renewable resources monomers butanediol and succinic acid. Moreover, PBS possesses a variety of desirable properties including biodegradability, renewability, and chemical resistance [7][8][9]. However, few investigations have been performed on the compatibility between PBS matrix and bare BF, which limits the practical application of basalt fiber reinforced PBS composites [10].…”

Abstract:In this work, an economical modifier silane agent-KH550-was used for surface treatment of basalt fiber. Then, a biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/modified basalt fiber (MBF) biocomposite was successfully developed. The effects of silane treatment and fiber mass content on crystalline structure, isothermal crystallization process and mechanical performance of composites were evaluated. The interfacial crystallization of PBS on the surface of MBF was investigated by using a polarized optical microscope (POM). The transcrystalline (TC) structure could be clearly observed and it grew perpendicular to the surface of MBF, which boosted the nucleation ability on PBS crystallization and the strong interfacial interaction between PBS and silane-treated basalt fiber. Under isothermal crystallization kinetics, the incorporation of basalt fiber enhanced the crystallization rate and reduced the crystallization half-time values of composites compared with that of neat PBS due to a heterogeneous nucleation effect. Furthermore, tensile results confirmed that the presence of MBF could greatly improve the tensile strength and modulus. The predicted interfacial shear strength (IFSS) suggested that an enhancement of interfacial bonding could be realized via interfacial crystallization, which was also verified by SEM images. The PBS/MBF biocomposites can be applied in many fields as a low-cost, lightweight, and biodegradable composite material.

“…There are limited studies considering hydrolytic PBS biodegradation for medical applications. However, PBS is frequently used for nonmedical applications and there are different studies investigating PBS degradation in soil-burial biodegradation tests (Liu et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2013). Liu et al (2009) performed a biodegradation study of PBS film and PBS/jute fibers; the degradation was carried out by burying the sample in compost soil.…”

In tissue engineering, the use of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)/polybutylene succinate (PBS) blend for the construction of scaffold is very limited. Moreover, polymeric sponges fabricated from PLLA/PBS have not been studied for neural tissue engineering. In the present study, the potential of the utility of PLLA/PBS polymeric sponges seeded with Schwann cells was investigated. PLLA and PBS were blended in order to increase the processability and tune the crystallinity, porosity, and degradation rate of the resulted polymeric sponges. These sponges were then seeded with Schwann cells. Porosity analysis showed that there were no significant differences between different compositions of PLLA/PBS blends; however, the porosity was slightly higher in PLLA/PBS (3%, w/v, 2:1) scaffold. Degradation profiles were also investigated for 120 days and almost 25% weight of PLLA/PBS (6%, 4%, 2%, w/v, 1:1) scaffolds and 18% weight of PLLA/PBS (3%, w/v, 2:1) scaffolds were lost at the end of 120 days. In vitro cell culture studies were also performed and the results proved that all PLLA/PBS blended scaffolds were biocompatible. The highest cell proliferation was observed for PLLA/PBS (3%, w/v, 2:1) scaffolds and this construct can be considered a promising biodegradable scaffold for neural tissue engineering.

“…After the use of glass fiber composites, as is also known, serious environmental problems have been caused at the process of disposal [2,3]. Although several recycle techniques have been developed for used glass fiber composites [3,4], scientists and engineers have tried to use plant-based natural fibers such as flax, kenaf, curaua, and ramie, which are environmentally friendly materials as an alternative [5][6][7][8][9]. Composite materials reinforced with the natural fibers are a nonexpensive and fast-growing material, and therefore expected to replace in whole or partially artificial fibers.…”

Natural and Artificial Fiber-Reinforced Composites as Renewable Sources

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Glass and carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials have been applied for the high demand in industrial use to date, because their advantages are light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance. However, the disposal problem after the use of these materials has also surfaced as a serious environmental problem. As a measure to solve this problem, many researchers have tried to investigate the potential of plant-based natural fibers instead of artificial fibers. When we use natural fibers as a long fiberreinforcement, the negative point is irregular fiber waviness inherent in a sliver form. This is because such fiber waviness often decreases the mechanical properties. The purpose of this study is thus to clarify the relation between irregular fiber waviness and the composite's tensile strength. The clarification was performed from two points of view: One is quantification of irregular fiber waviness, based on spatial analysis such as Local Moran's I and Geary's c. Result shows that quantified parameters were correlated well with tensile strengths of sliver-based natural fiber composites. Another is a 3-D finite element analysis in which the fiber waviness was treated as an orthotropic body. Finally, the relation of the tensile strengths with maximum stress and Tsai-Hill criterions was discussed.
