“…The breaking point of BC is another major challenge which can be enhanced by using silica nanoparticles. Besides the thermal, optical, and mechanical properties of the NBC, good interfacial bonding can also be significantly improved between the jute fiber and matrix by using silica nanoparticles [153]. SiO 2 nanomaterials have drawn the attention of present researchers due to their non-toxicity, photo bleaching, surface functionalizing, and other properties, which can be obtained through different physical and chemical modifications [154,155].…”

Composite materials reinforced with biofibers and nanomaterials are becoming considerably popular, especially for their light weight, strength, exceptional stiffness, flexural rigidity, damping property, longevity, corrosion, biodegradability, antibacterial, and fire-resistant properties. Beside the traditional thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers, nanoparticles are also receiving attention in terms of their potential to improve the functionality and mechanical performances of biocomposites. These remarkable characteristics have made nanobiocomposite materials convenient to apply in aerospace, mechanical, construction, automotive, marine, medical, packaging, and furniture industries, through providing environmental sustainability. Nanoparticles (TiO2, carbon nanotube, rGO, ZnO, and SiO2) are easily compatible with other ingredients (matrix polymer and biofibers) and can thus form nanobiocomposites. Nanobiocomposites are exhibiting a higher market volume with the expansion of new technology and green approaches for utilizing biofibers. The performances of nanobiocomposites depend on the manufacturing processes, types of biofibers used, and the matrix polymer (resin). An overview of different natural fibers (vegetable/plants), nanomaterials, biocomposites, nanobiocomposites, and manufacturing methods are discussed in the context of potential application in this review.

“…Many natural fillers have been investigated for use in industries such as flax, hemp, wood, rice husk (RH), snail shell, husks of wheat, barley, and oats (Bijwe et al, 2001). It has also been proven that the addition of wood dust to recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) enhanced the mechanical properties of the PET polymer matrix composites (Rahman et al, 2016). It has also been proven that reinforcement of recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) and PET polymer matrix by rice husk particles led to an improvement in the mechanical properties of the composites (Chen et al, 2016).…”

Improvement of Polyethylene Matrix Composites Using Coconut Shell and Cow Bone Particulates

et al. 2021

Utilisation of particles of coconut shell and cow bone as reinforcing materials for the production of low density hybrid polyethylene matrix composites by stir casting method was carried out. 50 µm coconut shell and 50 µm cow bone particulates in different proportions (5-25 wt. %) were mixed with polyethylene and the microstructural, physical and mechanical characterisations were determined using standardised methods. The hybrid composite exhibited desirable properties in terms of water absorption (0.3 %) indicating reduced pores/voids. It also exhibited ultimate tensile strength (1.78 MPa) and hardness (12.78 HBN) at 15 wt. % filler addition. The uniform dispersion of the reinforcing particles as observed in the SEM microstructure and the strong adhesion of the particles and polyethylene matrix contributed to the enhancement of the tensile strength and hardness of the composites. Increasing the filler concentration beyond 15 wt. % caused a decrease in the average inter-particle distance/spacing thereby increasing the amount of interparticle stress concentration overlap. This led to higher levels of debonding when tensile stress was applied. This ultimately impaired the tensile strength of the composites. The strain energy stored in the matrix which could be equal to the

In this work, ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM)/low-density polyethylene (LDPE) (100/60) blend was loaded with 20 phr (part per hundred parts of rubber) of rice husk to give biocomposites. To improve the compatibility of this biocomposites, 7 phr of maleic anhydride was also loaded. This biocomposite was then reinforced with 40 phr of high abrasion furnace (HAF)-carbon black (N330) or 40 phr Hisil. Vulcanization of these biocomposites was carried out by gamma irradiation at doses from 50 to 250 kGy. The EPDM/LDPE blend and its biocomposites were characterized by studying the mechanical, physical, and thermal properties. Also examination by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was studied. The results indicated that gamma irradiation and fillers improved the physical and mechanical properties and the thermal stability of the obtained biocomposites. The SEM micrographs confirmed the results obtained from mechanical properties. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 25:296-302, 2019.
