“…The filler content and the structural microgaps seem to influence the water uptake and the thickness swelling of the WPC specimens 2,56,57 . The maximum swelling of the filler particles occurs when the water absorption reaches the fiber saturation point (FSP ≈ 25%–30% MC) 1,58 . Using FFMWF filler instead of LFMWF resulted in a poor MWF‐polymer interface, leading to more microgaps in the MWPNC structure.…”

“…Over the past two decades, the production and use of wood-plastic composites (WPCs) in the construction and automotive industries have developed significantly. [1][2][3][4] Issues such as the depletion of fossil resources, global warming, environmental challenges associated with plastic waste, and the tendency to reduce production costs have led to an ever-increasing growth in the use of plantbased fibers and fillers in the polymer industry. [5][6][7][8] In the polymer industry, plant fibers have several advantages over mineral fillers, including their availability, low cost, environmental friendliness, and low density.…”

This study investigates the effect of removing magnetic nanoparticles from the outer surface of magnetic wood flour (MWF) particles as a filler phase on the microstructural, physical, and mechanical properties of the prepared MWFpolypropylene nanocomposites. For producing MWF with a surface free of magnetic nanoparticles (called LFMWF), in contrast to the commonly produced MWF (called FFMWF), magnetic wood chips were first prepared and then milled. No significant changes were observed in the tensile and flexural strength of the composite specimens prepared with the LFMWF filler instead

“…Several types of tests are commonly used in experiments to assess the durability of FRP composites. These tests include exposure to alkaline, saline, and acidic solutions, as well as UV radiation, environmental cycles, and extreme temperatures [11,15,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. A number of studies have been conducted that specifically examine the behaviour of GFRP bars and GFRP-reinforced concrete structures under various environmental conditions, including seawater [31,32], alkaline [33,34], and acidic [35].…”

The aim of this study was to examine how the tensile strength of glass fibre reinforced polymer stirrups is affected by different types of solutions, including alkaline, seawater, tap water, and acidic solutions. The study involved the production and testing of 260 stirrups in two different shapes (L and U) with diameters of 6 and 8 mm. The stirrups were immersed in different solutions for a period of 9 months at different temperatures (25, 40, and 60 °C). The findings indicated that the alkaline solution was the most aggressive environment, resulting in a maximum reduction of 92% in tensile strength after 9 months at 60 °C. Seawater and acidic solutions were the second and third most aggressive environments, causing maximum tensile strength reductions of 34 and 22% respectively, after 9 months at 60 °C. On the other hand, tap water was found to be the least aggressive environment, causing a maximum tensile strength reduction of 20% after 9 months at 60 °C. Furthermore, the study observed that the L-shaped stirrups exhibited slightly superior performance compared to the U-shaped stirrups. However, the diameter of the stirrups was found to be a negligible factor.

“…Research in the area of fiber reinforcement used for veneer-based products has become recently very popular. Alongside flax fibers, several natural fibers such as hemp or kenaf, or synthetic fibers such as carbon have shown very good potential in increasing the mechanical properties of veneer-based products [ 10 , 11 , 12 ].…”
