“…Increased fiber loading in the matrix enhanced the stiffness and hardness of the composites as the segment mobility of the composites was reduced. However, these enhancements reduced the resilience and toughness of the composites, subsequently decreasing their resistance to breaking . Meanwhile, The TS of the OPEFB + PCL composite decreased with increasing OPEFB fiber loads (Fig.…”

Basic research on recyclable, renewable and biodegradable polymer composite materials reinforced with natural fibers is increasingly growing. In this article, we characterize agricultural waste by determining its dielectric properties for microwave absorber application. Recently, polymer composites reinforced with natural fibers are increasingly used in dielectric and aircraft applications. We used a Thermal Hake blending machine to blend oil palm empty fruit bunch with polycaprolactone grain to make a homogeneous powder. The functional groups of the resulting composites were then analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Thermogravimetric and differential thermogravimetric analyses were performed to determine the thermal degradation behaviors of the composites. The tensile strength, tensile modulus and elongation at break of the composites were measured in an Instron universal testing machine. A rectangular waveguide and open‐ended coaxial probe connected to a microwave network analyzer (PNA) Agilent N5230A PNA‐L was used to measure the reflection coefficient S11 and transmission coefficient S21 values and the dielectric properties of the composite materials. Results showed that the thermal stability and dielectric properties of the polymer composites decreased as the fiber content increased. The composites exhibited potential as microwave absorbers at microwave frequencies. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:E1778–E1787, 2018. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…The most of the bagasse is used for feeding the animals and burned for food preparation [4][5][6] . This raw bagasse is utilized as a natural material for filling with various matrix materials such as Tripathi 7) et al studied epoxy based composite with Sugarcane bagasse, Tarini 8) et al mixed bagasse with PLA and identify mechanical and morphological properties of the samples.…”

Lots of availability of plant fibres as well as animal fibres as a filler materials and easy manufacturing techniques researchers have been enticed to investigate whether locally accessible, low-cost fillers can be used for reinforcement and whether they meet the necessary requirements for a reinforced polymer composite for tribological applications. In this work a new hybrid composite were developed with Sugarcane bagasse and chicken feather fibres with PLA as matrix material. Sugarcane bagasse is a plant fibre rich in cellulose while chicken feather is animal fibre rich in keratin, mixed with Polylactic acid biodegradable matrix material. Samples were made by Compression moulding machine followed by melt mixing. The samples were prepared according to ASTM standards and tested on "Pin on disc wear tester" to identify its wear properties. For optimum results we applied Taguchi technic of L18 orthogonal array. The combination of natural fibres and biodegradable matrix material play a very important role and makes it ecofriendly with various applications.

“…However, the polarity and properties of ENR depend on the epoxy content or degree of epoxidation in ENR. The improvement of properties for natural rubber can be obtained by chemical modification by reacting natural rubber with organic peracid such as performic acidin solution and latex system [7][8][9].…”

The effect of a blowing agents that affected Polylactic acid (PLA) and Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) the blowing agents composed of citric acid (CA) and sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO3) mixing by twin screw extruder with co-rotation screw. The properties of biodegradable foams were investigated. Blended foams of all composition were prepared by using compression molding at 200°C using different proportions of PLA, ENR, CA and NaHCO3. Mechanical properties of the samples were characterized by using universal testing machine. Thermal properties including Glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallization temperature (Tc) and melting temperature (Tm) were examined by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Physical properties including morphology and density of blended foams were also investigated and morphological properties were studied with a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
