Effect of poly-methyltriethoxysilane on the waterproof property of starch/fiber composites with open cell structures

Abstract

Novel starch/fiber composites with open cell structures were proposed through thermo-cavity molding.

Effect of coir fiber and inorganic filler hybridization on Innegra fiber-reinforced epoxy polymer composites: physical and mechanical properties

“…Further, it can produce a new hydrogen bond with the polymer as an essential constituent of y ash, TiC, and Innegra fabric may also offer some hydroxyl functional groups to create hydrogen bonds with the polymer. Furthermore, the crystallinity index more actively in uenced the mechanical characteristics than the hydroxyl-stretch vibration, signifying that crystallinity was the primary parameter that impacted the polymer composites' mechanical aspects (Ji et al, 2021;Sun et al, 2019).…”

Machine learning‐based prediction of mechanical and thermal properties of nickel/cobalt/ferrous and dried leaves fiber‐reinforced polymer hybrid composites

“…The nickel and cobalt fillers enhanced the water resistance and would attain the influence of waterproofing over the polymers. 65 The surface energy of the developed laminates was reduced upon incorporating ferrous fillers; still, certain hydrophilic organic components in polyester, vinylester, and epoxy polymers incremented the surface energy and lowered the contact angle values. 66 Simultaneously, the dense scheme is affected by the capillary action of various diameters of pores and increment in also crosslinking outcome in dissimilar contact angle values.…”

CaCO3blowing agent mixing method for biomass composites improved buffer packaging performance

“…3,4 For example, Li et al used plant ber and starch as the skeleton and matrix, respectively, to prepare a new class of biomass materials with fully open-cell structures to replace package cushioning materials through a foaming process. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] As a result of their open-cell structure, acoustic absorption, insulation, and cushioning property, cellular composites could be used in different applications, including transport, packaging, and in-door decorations. 18 However, the mechanical properties, thermal stability, and hygroscopic property requirements for buffer packaging were difficult to meet by these composites.…”

“…The lowest water absorption rate of the composite was that obtained at a 15 g added amount of PTS (PTS-15). 9 Compared with PTS, CaCO 3 is less expensive and more promising.…”
