“…The reduction was further supported by the increased hindrance exerted at higher filler loadings. The work of Riyajan and Riyapan (2013) reported that the % swelling ratio of starch/natural rubber composite decreased as the concentration of cassava starch moved from 10 phr to 40 phr filler loading. This behaviour applied to all the different starch-filled rubber under investigation.…”

“…The palm fiber's average elongation at break attains 30.88 ± 5.77% and the bamboo fiber's average elongation at break is 5.85 ± 0.15% (Chen et al 2017a,b). Due to their excellent mechanical properties, palm fibers are widely used as reinforcing materials in polymers, composites, and nanocomposites (Jacob 2004;Riyapan 2013;De Campos 2017). Figure 1 presents the digital micrographs of the palm tree and palm fibers.…”

Palm fiber, a type of natural multicellular fiber, exhibits distinct mechanical properties, such as excellent elasticity, higher fracture energy, and desirable stretch ability. To reveal the structure-property relationship, a multi-scale layered fractal theoretical model was introduced to investigate the tensile behavior of palm fibers at different scales. A three-circle model was established and used to simulate the hierarchical organization of palm fibers. The palm fibers consisted of cellulose molecular chains, fibril filaments, microfibrils, and cells. Moreover, the characteristics of stress, fracture energy, and Young’s modulus on different scales were calculated and verified by tensile testing and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The results revealed that the fractal model effectively decoupled the contributions of different scales to the tensile properties. In particular, the microfibril mainly influenced the stiffness, whereas the cell determined the toughness of palm fibers. The findings of the current study can be utilized to improve the design and preparation of fiber-based nanomaterials.
