“…More than 1450 bamboo species from 70 genera are discovered in various weather conditions. There are more than 400 species of bamboo in China, making this country [11] , Bamboo fibers used in this study were treated with washed with tap water to eliminate any contaminants or moisture. The samples were then dried in a laboratory oven for 5 days at 80-85 C. Following, the samples were crushed to a fine powder using a coffee grinder.…”

“…Among natural fibers, bamboo considers much significant as an encouraging strengthening for various polymer materials due to its promising mechanical characterizations. [11] The present study evaluates the effect of hybrid modifications for fiber composites reinforced with bio epoxy resin via a hybridization technique on the thermal and mechanical characterizations of natural fiber-bio epoxy composites. However, there is no proper literature summarizing in thermal properties of the hybrid natural fibers bio-composites.…”

In this work, thermal analysis of olive/bamboo fiber‐based epoxy hybrid composites was carried out. Three types of olive fibers, which are olive tree small branch (OTS), olive tree big branch (OTB), and olive tree leaves (OTL), along with bamboo fibers (B), were used to fabricate the composites. Thermal properties of hybrid composites were examined by the thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA), and thermomechanical analyzer (TMA). It was found that the thermal stability improved with the incorporation of hybrid fibers in epoxy composites compared to pure fiber composites. Hybrid composite (OTS‐B) exhibited a lower residue (15.82%) whereas hybrid composites (OTB‐B and OTS‐B) show 54.65% and 54.53% weight loss at the maximum decomposition temperature. DMA results showed that the storage modulus and loss modulus reduced with hybrid fiber composites while the damping factor (tan delta) was increased. The storage modulus values of the pure composite sample (B) exhibited a higher increased (3150 MPa). In contrast, the pure composite sample (B) exhibited the highest loss modulus (337 MPa). From TMA analysis, OTL‐B hybrid composite presented a higher Tg and lower coefficient of thermal expansion. We concluded that finding from this work will strengthen attracting interpretation of utilization of two different fibers to fabricate hybrid composites for various lightweight purposes in a wide‐ranging choice of industrial applications such as biomedical tools, automobile, and construction fields. Additionally, a novel method can be used to develop hybrid biocomposites materials, which have potential applications in biomaterials and engineering areas.

“…Polymers have drawn much attention because of their diversity, versatility, and practicality. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), derived from renewable resources, exhibits outstanding properties such as good strength, high modulus, and optical clarity. Thanks to these remarkable features, PLA is one of the most widely utilized biodegradable and biocompatible plastics used in the industrial packaging field or in the biocompatible/bioabsorbable medical device market.…”

Poly (lactic acid)/silicone rubber (PLA/SR) blends were reinforced with (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane-functionalized titanium dioxide nanoparticles, and the effect of the virgin (TDO) and functionalized (FTDO) nanoparticles was investigated in the presence and absence of compatibilizer. The results demonstrated that the functionalization of TDO had no negative effect on the morphology of the blends, and no aggregation was seen in the blends containing TDO and FTDO. Furthermore, nanoparticles were localized at the interface of PLA and SR. Adding TDO in the PLA/SR blends increased the mechanical properties. The same trend was observed after incorporating the compatibilizer and FTDO.Additionally, a good agreement was seen between the theoretical and experimental mechanical properties values. Moreover, introducing SR diminished the crystallinity of PLA, and further reduction was observed by adding TDO, FTDO, and compatibilizer. Also, the modification of TDO did not affect the crystallinity of the blends. Incorporating 1 and 2 phr TDO to the blends increased the thermal stability while diminishing with 3 phr TDO. In addition, FTDO improved thermal stability. The antibacterial test indicated that the higher nanoparticles content, the better the antibacterial properties.

Bamboo fibers are considered as a more attractive option for the reinforcement of wood plastic composites as compared to wood fiber due to its fast growth rate and good toughness. Heat treatment is an environment-friendly method of improving the integrated performance of bamboo materials. This paper highlights the heat treatment of bamboo fiber for suitable properties as reinforcements in bamboo plastic composites. The effects of vacuum heat treatment on the surface characteristics of bamboo fibers and the properties of bamboo plastic composites were analyzed by studying the chemical composition, surface elements and polarity of bamboo fiber before and after treatment, and the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo plastic composite. The results showed that after vacuum heat treatment, the bamboo fibers became darker and experienced a transition from green to red. Moreover, FTIR, XPS and contact angle analysis indicated that the hemicellulose content, the oxygen/carbon ratio and the polar component of the bamboo fiber had a decreasing trend as the treatment temperature increased. In addition, the 24 h water absorption and the 24 h thickness expansion rate of the water absorption showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing as the treatment temperature increased, while the bending performance of bamboo plastic composite showed a trend of increasing first and then decreasing as a result of increased treatment temperature. Therefore, a combined process of vacuum heat treatment and the addition of MAPE could improve the physical and mechanical properties of bamboo plastic composites to a certain extent.
