“…Agglomeration might also reduce the clay aspect ratio and reduce the contact surface area between the organoclay and the polymer matrix. Agglomeration of the nanoparticles within the polymer matrix happens due to the high surface area of the nanoparticles and van der Waals forces between them (Ashori et al 2013). Park et al (2003) also tested the effect of the filler concentration of the TPS/clay hybrid with Cloisite Na + and Cloisite 30B.…”

The goal of this work was to evaluate the technical feasibility of walnut shell flour (WSF) as substitute for wood in walnut shell flour/thermoplastic starch (WSF/TPS) composites. The effects of walnut shell flour (WSF), thermoplastic starch (TPS), and nanoclay on the physical and mechanical properties of WSF/TPS composites were investigated. The composite samples were formed in a Colin extruder with four-chamber heat with temperatures. Then, test samples were made using injection molding. The addition of up to 40% WSF greatly improved the tensile strength, flexural strength, and elasticity modulus of the composite. Also, the composites made with higher WSF contents had increased thickness swelling and water absorption. The incorporation of nanoclay (0% to 5%), greatly improved the tensile properties. Soil burial degradation experiments showed that biodegradation was accelerated by the increase of starch in the composite mixtures. The study showed that WSF can be successfully utilized for the manufacture of composites with useful physical and mechanical properties.

“…Rodrigues et al [14] performed modification of sugarcane BFs by esterification through anhydride, and observed a high improvement in the tensile modulus in comparison with the pure polymer. Ashori et al [15] investigated the effects of multiwalled carbon nanotube, as a reinforcing agent, on the mechanical and physical properties of BF. To highdensity polyethylene composite, 1.5 wt.% multiwalled carbon nanotube provides high tensile and flexural properties; however, the notched impact strength of the composites gradually decreased with increasing filler loading.…”

Abstract The present article presents a study on the mechanical and water absorption properties of bagasse fiber-reinforced epoxy composites. Bagasse fibers are subjected to chemical treatment with 1% sodium hydroxide followed by 1% acrylic acid at ambient temperature to enhance the bonding strength between the fiber-polymer, resulting in high values of the mechanical properties and a reduction in the water absorption properties of the composites. We analyzed the optimum value of fiber treatment, and it was found that 15% treated fiber loading yields enhanced the mechanical properties together with a reduction in water absorption properties.

“…The modified cellulose reinforcement in matrix results in lower elongation as compared to unmodified cellulose and confirmed that fiber modification enhances fiber-matrix adhesion ). Ashori et al (2013) showed effects of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical and physical characteristics of bagasse as HDPE composites. MWCNTs and maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAPE) were used for the composite sample preparation.…”

As an important branch of the composite materials field, natural fiberreinforced polymer composites have been studied for decades. Natural fibers are originated from several sources such as cotton, nut, shells, bagasse, corncobs, bamboo, and vegetable. This work aims to discuss the different surface modification techniques of bagasse fibers including alkaline, silane, acetylation, and benzoylation treatments. The chapter also deals with the discussion on processing techniques of bagasse fiber-reinforced composite manufacturing and its mechanical and morphological properties. It also covers advantages of bagasse fiber reinforcement in composites and future trends and applications.
