“…However, for advanced applications, physical and chemical properties of iPP need to be further improved or new functionalities should be endowed. The simplest way is adding appropriate fillers to iPP matrix can enhance its performances and so much work has been done about talc, calcium carbonate, mica, titanium dioxide and clay as fillers to improve the properties of composites [40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. In this work, the graphene oxide sheets were functionalized with alkane chains firstly to improve their thermal stability and secondly to enhance the interaction with iPP.…”

“…Such superior environmental performance is an important factor for the increased future use of natural fiber composites. However, their waterproof, flame retardant, and mechanical properties need to be improved Jang and Lee 2000;Jeencham et al 2014;Kozlowski et al 1999 ;) Many papers require stability at high temperatures, e.g., microwave paper, interleaving paper for stainless steel which must overcome high temperature between layers, fireproof paper as components of building materials, and paper friction materials (Hubbe et al 2007;Mwaikambo and Ansell 2002). Under high temperatures, paper fibers will decompose.…”

Natural fiber is a renewable resource characterized by its low cost and environmental friendliness. However, flame retardant properties are one of the biggest limitations for the preparation of composite materials that need to be improved. In this work, a novel complex flame retardant consisting of aluminum hydroxide (ALH) and decabromine diphenyl oxide (PBDE) was proposed to inhibit the thermal decomposition. Flameretarding paper was made from softwood pulp and complex flame retardant. The thermal properties of the flame retardants were studied using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The mechanical properties of paper treated at different temperatures were tested, while the surface characteristics of natural fiber were detected by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM); their specific surface areas were also measured. The optimum value of aluminum hydroxide to decabromine diphenyl oxide was 3 to 1, added at 70% based on dried natural fiber. It also had good flame retardant performance and mechanical properties at 200 °C for 5 min; meanwhile, the tensile index of the handsheet was 82.5 Nm/g, and the specific surface area was 0.414 m 2 /g.

“…On the contrary, the impact strength had reduced 5.8 %, 31.8 % and 11.4 % for 5MH to 10MH, 5KF5MH to 5KF10MH and 10KF5MH to 10KF10MH, respectively. Such reduction of the impact strength was expected with the insertion of MH to the KF reinforced FLO composites [54]. The weak bonding between KF-MH, KF-FLO and MH-FLO had reduced its impact strength.…”

This paper presents a study of the mechanical properties of Kenaf fibre (KF) reinforced floreon (FLO)/ magnesium hydroxide (MH) bio-composites. The mixing of all materials was done by using a 21 mm lab twin screw extruder followed by hot pressing. The composite sheet was then cut into specimens for testing purposes. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to study the cross-section of the interface. In this regard, insufficient resin for fibre wetting, hydrolytic degradation on the biopolymer and poor interfacial bonding were attributed to the low strength profile. Yet, further addition of KF increased the tensile strength and flexural to 18.91 MPa and 73.09MPa, respectively. Nevertheless, inserting KF and MH filler were found to have a positive outcome on the flexural modulus by especially 10KF5MH and 10KF10MH for 3.02GPa and 3.17GPa, respectively. Insertion of KF and MH showed the deterioration of impact strength. However, addition of KF increased the impact strength to 16.82 J/m 2 . FLO is a hydrophobic biopolymer, and showed only 0.49% of the total water absorption in 14 days. Meanwhile, for the first 24 hours, the rates of water absorption were very high for all biocomposites. Hence, it is worth mentioning that the high contents of KF in bio-composites were found to have higher saturation period and higher total amount of water absorption while the MH caused shorter saturation period but lower total amount of water absorption. However, incompatibility of the interface bonding had increased the water absorption of KF/FLO/MH composites. 5KF5MH and 10KF5MH recorded water absorption at 10.65% and 13.33%. On the other hand, 10KF10MH was saturated at day 6 with 6.59 % of water absorption. Although 10KF5MH specimen did not have the best performance in mechanical properties, higher flame retardancy shall provide KF reinforced FLO composite with MH filler for more applications in the advanced sector, especially a hazardous environment.
