“…This indicates that the raw composites possess high porosity or the presence of void on the surface of raw composites. This is responsible for the changes in dimension of cellulose-based composites, particularly in the thickness, and the linear expansion due to reversible and irreversible swelling of the composites [26]. Meanwhile in contras the pure PP show the lowest TS (%) which is 0%.…”

“…On the other hand, the incorporation of more hydrophobic silane-treated OPMF led to better tensile strength because the modified fibers were more hydrophobic than the unmodified OPMF, as shown in the FTIR spectra of our previous study (Eng et al 2014b). An increase in hydrophobicity of fibers enhanced the compatibility between fibers and matrix, which increased the strength, stiffness, and interfacial adhesion of composites (Abdul Khalil et al 2007). Figure 2 shows the tensile modulus of unmodified and silane-treated OPMF in hybrid composites.…”

Effects of modifying oil palm mesocarp fibers (OPMF) by methacrylate silane on polylactic acid (PLA)/ polycaprolactone (PCL)/clay/OPMF hybrid composites were investigated. The composites were prepared by a melt blending technique and characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The silane-treated OPMF hybrid composites showed better tensile strength, tensile modulus, and elongation at break than unmodified OPMF hybrid composites. DMA analysis showed an increase in storage modulus when silane-treated OPMF was added to a hybrid composite. The loss modulus curve showed that the incorporation of silane-treated OPMF into a hybrid composite shifted the two glass transition temperatures (Tg) of composites closer to each other. The low tan δ peak indicated good fiber/matrix adhesion for the silane-treated OPMF hybrid composites. SEM micrographs revealed that silane-treated OPMF hybrid composites showed better fiber/matrix adhesion than unmodified OPMF hybrid composites because of absence of gap between silane-treated OPMF and the matrix in the composite.

“…The increment in modulus was about 22% as the fiber content increased from 0 to 40 phr, whereas flexural strength decreased to about 18%. The enhancement of modulus depends on a number of factors, such as fiber aspect ratio [77, 78], fiber modulus, and fiber content [78–80]. This result indicates that although OPEFB fibers have low aspect ratio, they are able to impart a significant improvement in stiffness by hindering the movement of PVC molecules.…”

“…Study of Abdul Kahlil [80] showed ∼ 36% and 29% decrease in water absorption for acetylated and propionylated treated OPEFB fibers reinforced with phenol formaldehyde respectively. This, if compared to results of Sreekala [99], showed an increase in water absorption rate of about 166% for acetylated treated OPEFB fiber phenol formaldehyde composite material.…”

A review on oil palm empty fruit bunch fiber‐reinforced polymer composite materials

Natural fiber‐reinforced polymer composite materials have emerged in a wide spectrum of area of the polymer science. The composite produced from these types of materials are low density, low cost, comparable specific properties, and most importantly they are environmental friendly. The composite materials produced from oil palm fibers and commercially available polymers have offered some specific properties that can be comparable to conventional synthetic fiber composite materials. However, these properties are greatly dependent on the compatibility of oil palm fibers and matrix phase with moisture absorption as one of the critical issues that becomes the drawbacks of the oil palm fiber polymer composite materials. Apparently, it greatly affects the physical as well as mechanical properties of the composite materials. The present review reports the work on oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) fiber‐reinforced polymer composites with some interest on the OPEFB physical structure, and chemical compositions. Finally, the incorporation of OPEFB into polymeric materials leads to several interesting consequences on the water absorption characteristics and the mechanical properties, which have been reviewed.
