“…Poor adhesion between fibres and polymer matrix generates void spaces around the fibres in natural fibres composites which leads to a higher water uptake [41]. Fibre modification through alkalization process can reduce the moisture absorption.…”

“…FRs for biocomposites should be temperature resistant to avoid decomposition during processing [41] and should not contain any halogen because these compounds produce toxic gases like those formed during polyvinyl chloride (PVC) combustion [48]. Halogen-based and phosphorus-based compounds prove effective in suppressing the flame behaviour of synthetic polymers to the expense of negative environmental impact and health concerns [41].…”

“…To produce safe composites, fire retardants should be selected among phosphorus (this contradicts [41]) and inorganic systems like borates, stannates or hydroxides [47]. For environmental and health safety reasons, an increasing attention on inorganic compounds such as metallic hydroxide additives are being considered as FRs [49].…”

“…Biocomposites are much more sensitive to oxidative degradation compared to pure plastics and its induction time, durability and lifetime is dependent on the antioxidants (AO) and their amounts [41]. Samples with 0.5 wt.% of antioxidants and 20 wt.% of fire retardants were observed in [41] Composites exposed to moisture and ultraviolet radiation brings more effect to lignocellulosic fibres than the fibre/matrix interfacial region.…”

A review on the degradability of polymeric composites based on natural fibres

The applications of natural fibre/polymer composites in civil engineering are mostly concentrated on non-load bearing indoor components due to its vulnerability to environmental attack. This paper evaluates the characteristics of several natural fibre composites exposed to moisture, thermal, fire, and ultraviolet degradation through an extensive literature review. The effects of chemical additives such as fibre treatments, fire retardants and UV stabilizers are also addressed. Based on the evaluation conducted, optimum fibre content provides strength in a polymer composite but it also becomes an entry point for moisture attack. Several fibre treatments are also being used to improve fibre/matrix interface, thereby increasing moisture durability. However, the treated fibres were found to behave poorly when exposed to weather. The addition of UV stabilizers and fire retardants are suggested to enhance outdoor and fire performance of natural fibre/polymer composite but compromises its strength. Therefore, from the collected data and various experimental results, it was concluded that an optimum blend ratio of chemical additives must be employed to achieve a balance between strength and durability requirements for natural fibre composites. Dear EditorI would like to submit a paper entitle of "Degradability of Polymeric Composites Based on Natural Fibres" to the materials and design. This paper address important issues related to the degradation of natural fibres in polymeric composites. I believe the paper has interest to the reader of the journal and will be beneficial for many researchers in the field of materials and design considering the degradation of polymer and bio-materials. I would like to confirm that the paper has not been sent to any journal before and not under review. I hope you can send the paper fore reviewing process.

Rice husk flour (RHF) biocomposites based on uncompatibilized and compatibilized recycled high density polyethylene/recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rHDPE/rPET) with ethylene‐glycidyl methacrylate (E‐GMA) copolymer were prepared through a two‐step extrusion and hot pressing with fiber loadings of 40, 60, and 80 wt %. Results showed that tensile and flexural properties increased. However, the elongation to break and impact strength decreased as the RHF loading increased. Compatibilizing polymer blend matrices can further enhance the mechanical properties. Water absorption (WA) test were examined in distilled and seawater. It is interesting to note that for composites made from uncompatibilized matrix, the calculated D and KSR were lower in seawater, but for the compatibilized matrix composites, the D and KSR obtained were generally lower in distilled water. However, compatibilization of rHDPE/rPET has been markedly reduced the WA and thickness swelling. Scanning electron microscope analysis of the compatibilized matrix composites confirmed the improved interfacial bonding of matrix–matrix and filler–matrix phases. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.
