“…used radiofrequency plasma conditions to improve the interfacial adhesion between SF and high density polyethylene (HDPE) through functionalization of SF and HDPE using dichlorosilane. Also, gamma radiation was used to improve the interfacial adhesion, mechanical properties and water resistance of sugarcane bagasse/recycled HDPE composite 25 . Recently, the coating of hydrophilic SF with hydrophobic polymer such as polystyrene 17 and polyaniline 26 was used to improve the compatibility between coated sisal fiber (CF) and a hydrophobic polymeric matrix.…”

Styrene butyl acrylate (SBA) copolymer latex nanoparticles which contain vinyltrimethoxysilane as binding agent were prepared using microemulsion polymerization and were used for coating sisal fiber. The structure of SBA and coated sisal fiber (CF) was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effect of the surface coating of sisal fiber (SF) on the SF/natural rubber (NR) composite properties was systematically evaluated through curing characteristics, morphological properties, mechanical properties, water absorption resistance, biodegradability and dynamic mechanical analysis. As indicated from the morphological study, the coating of SF with SBA enhanced the interfacial adhesion between SF and the NR matrix. In addition, the tensile strength was improved by 26.9% and 43% after the addition of 5 and 10 phr (parts per hundred rubber), respectively, of CF to NR. The coating process improved the water resistance of SF/NR composite significantly especially at high SF loading level, where the composite that contained 30 phr CF absorbed 6.7% water compared to 13.2% for the composite containing uncoated sisal fiber (UF). Dynamic mechanical analysis confirmed that the coating process improved the interfacial adhesion between the SF and NR matrix as indicated from the higher values of storage modulus and lower values of maximum loss factor (tan δmax) recorded for composites containing CF compared to those containing UF. © 2021 Society of Industrial Chemistry.

“…Findings indicate that combining the chemical modification of the fiber and irradiation of the polymer produce eco‐composites with enhanced compatibility than that obtained through only chemical modification. The irradiated eco‐composites containing treated natural fibers exhibited enhanced mechanical properties, lower water up‐hold, and higher thermal stability 38,148 …”

Owing to economic and environmental benefits, new generations of materials/commodities follow “from waste to wealth” strategy. Recently, there has been a huge upsurge in research on the development of eco‐composites using recycled plastic polymers and agro‐residues because the eco‐composites satisfy the stringent environment regulations and are cost‐effective. Herein, we present a detailed review on the potential use of several types of natural fillers as an efficient reinforcement for recycled plastic polymers. In particular, the characterization of different categories of eco‐composites according to their morphological, physical, thermal, and mechanical properties is extensively reviewed and their results are analyzed, compared, and highlighted. Furthermore, a framework to produce functional eco‐composites, which includes functionalization of ingredients, critical issues on microstructural parameters, processing, and fabrication methods, is outlined and supported with sufficient data from the literature. Finally, the review outlines the emerging challenges and future prospects of eco‐composites to be addressed by interested researchers to bridge the gap between research and commercialization of such a class of material. Overall, the acquired knowledge will guide researchers, scientists, and manufacturers to plan, select, and develop various forms of eco‐composites with enhanced properties and optimized production processes.

“…However, as we know, most polymers are susceptible to gamma irradiation. High energy and high dose radiation usually cause chain-scission and free radical-recombination, which further leads to cracking as well as the apparent degradation of the mechanical strength of the coatings [8,9]. Superhydrophobic surfaces, inspired by the natural lotus, have gained an intense interest in recent years [10][11][12].…”

A superhydrophobic surface was synthesized by a combination of an epoxy/polymethylphenylsiloxane matrix and dual-scale morphology of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles. When the amount of SiO2 reached 30 wt.%, the as-prepared surface showed a high static water contact angle (WCA) of 154° and a low sliding angle (SA) of 5°, excellent water repellency, and dirt-removal effects both in air and oil (hexamethylene). Even after exposure to as high as a 12.30 Mrad dose of gamma-rays, the composite surface still maintained its superior performance.
