Hybrid Polyethylene Composites with Recycled Carbon Fibres and Hemp Fibres Produced by Rotational Moulding

Abstract: This study assessed polyethene composites produced by rotational moulding with hybrid reinforcement using recycled carbon fibre (RCF) and hemp fibre (HF). First, the RCF was treated with nitric acid to introduce hydroxyl groups on the fibres’ surface and was characterised by infrared spectroscopy and microscopy analyses. Although the fibre surface treatment improved the tensile properties of the composites, the use of grafted maleic anhydride polyethylene (MAPE) as a coupling agent was more effective in improv… Show more

“…All publications are within the past 5 years. Natural fillers such as black tea, giant reed, wood, hemp and rice were amongst findings accompanied by the experimental work with recycled carbon fibres [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 67 ]. Abhilash et al [ 34 ] reported that the addition of risk husk improved the vibrational properties from an experimental modal analysis (EMA), alluding to suitability for automobile vibrating applications by up to 15 wt% addition.…”

“…For example, increasing from 20 to 50% recorded such an effect and the authors stated that this was due to the high stiffness of the carbon fibre and reduced porosity in the final moulded part. Treatment of fibres with matrix acid (nitric acid) was thought to improve adhesion with maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE) [ 33 ].…”
