“…The effect of coupling on reinforcement is positive in all cases. Although the fibers reinforce PP to a smaller or larger extent, the effect is moderate compared to the reinforcement achieved with traditional fibers, especially with glass, for which parameter B was larger than 10 30 …”

“…The increase in stiffness is moderate, especially when we compare it to the composite stiffness of about 13 GPa achieved with carbon fibers. 30 Flax fibers resulted in the largest reinforcement, PET fibers in the smallest. Intermediate values were obtained with wood and PVA fibers.…”

“…39 Injection molding is especially hard on stiff fibers, and, occasionally, the length of the fibers can decrease below the critical value thus losing most of the reinforcing effect. [40][41][42] Previous work showed that the length of PET fibers also changes, but not in an extent as that of stiff, reinforcing fibers. The original average length of PET fibers of 4 mm decreases to about 1-2 mm during processing.…”

“…Chemical treatments [14] have continued to be the most promoted of all fiber pretreatment techniques because of its lower energy and manpower requirements. Chemical treatments help reduce OH-functional groups on the surfaces of fibers, modify the microstructure, improves surface chemistry and topography/roughness, and thus create enhanced interfacial interactions between fibers and matrix in the fibers, giving rise to better thermochemical properties in the developed composites due to improved wettability, surface morphology and general fiber-matrix compatibility [5,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
