“…For a same combination of materials, different adhesion mechanisms can occur, such as mechanical, chemical, and electrostatic adhesion and by interdiffusion. The degree of reinforcement or improvement in mechanical behavior depends on a strong matrix-particle interface bond [36,37].…”

Polypropylene (PP) is widely used in short-term use artifacts, rapidly discarded and should partially replace neat PP. In addition, it is one of the polymers most used in the automobile industry. This study shows the technical feasibility of partially substituting neat PP for a post-consumer counterpart (PP r), as well as adding ground glass (GP), used as filler in the polymer matrix. Mechanical and thermal properties of the recycled blends (PP/PP r) and composites (PP/PP r /GP) were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the blend with the highest PP r content obtained a statistically significant decline in elastic modulus, but adding 5 wt% of GP to this blend increased this property, achieving a similar value in relation to neat PP. The composite developed may be a promising tailor-made product with properties resembling those of the virgin plastic. Thus, the automotive industry seems to be a good option for the use of PP r and GP composites and blends, without increasing product requirements.

“…For automotive applications, most interests have been given to bast fibers such as jute (18)(19)(20)(21), ramie (22), hemp (23), flax (24) and kenaf (25)(26)(27), leaf fibers such as sisal (28)(29)(30), pineapple (31) and banana fibers (32,33), as well as fibers from wood sources or crop residues (34)(35)(36). Among them, jute is one of the most abundant fiber plants worldwide and ramie is of much attention due to its high stiffness.…”

Lightweight composites produced from renewable and biodegradable materials have been very promising to find wide applications in automotive industries and to lessen the dependence on exhausting petroleum resource. In this chapter, various natural fibers, traditional polymer and bio-polymer matrix systems are presented. Potentials and limitations of modification methods on natural fiber and manufacturing techniques for lightweight composites are reviewed in details. Major technical concerns and challenges regarding natural fiber reinforced composites are addressed. Examples of recent automotive industrial applications are given and future trends are outlined.

“…SD is becoming a vital particulate filler for reinforcing the polymer matrix due to its remarkable properties for increasing the strength and stiffness of thermoplastics or to reduce the cost of raw materials . Wood plastic composite (WPC) is an engineering wood product that consists primarily of wood and thermoplastic polymers, and its use has increased significantly in many applications . Compared to traditional synthetic fillers, natural fillers have a lower density, less abrasiveness, lower cost, and they are renewable and biodegradable.…”

This article is concerned with the static and dynamic mechanical properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) reinforced with sawdust (SD) at a strain rate of up to 10 3 s 21 . In this study, the static and dynamic properties of HDPE/SD composites with different filler loadings of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 wt% SD were deliberated at different levels of strain rates (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 650, 900, and 1100 s 21 ) using a conventional universal testing machine and the split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus. The results showed that the stress-strain curves, yield behavior, stiffness, and strength properties of the HDPE/SD composites were strongly affected by both the strain rate and the filler loadings. Furthermore, the rate sensitivityof the HDPE/SD composites showed a great dependency on the applied strain rate, increasing as the strain rate increased. However, the thermal activation values showed a contrary trend. Meanwhile, for the postdamage analysis, the results showed that the applied strain rates influenced the deformation behavior of the tested HDPE/ SD composites. Moreover, for the fractographic analysis at dynamic loading, the composites showed that all the specimens underwent a severe catastrophic deformation.
