“…60 In contrast, ultrasound can generate a strong impact force, resulting in the decomposition of some lignin, fiber bundle expansion, and wettability enhancement. 61 Furthermore, ultrasound cavitation could cause the crack of the hard shell on the fiber surface and the activation and opening of closed cells. 52,60 Therefore, the WS was more compatible with the PVC matrix, resulting in a more compact internal structure of WS/ATP/PVC composites.…”

The effects of ultrasonic and hydrothermal treatment on the physical, mechanical, wear resistance, water absorption and thermal stability of the walnut shell (WS)/attapulgite (ATP)/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composite and its enhancement mechanism were investigated. WS was treated by ultrasound and hydrothermal treatment and mixed with PVC and ATP, and the WS/ATP/PVC composites were prepared by melt extrusion. The properties of composites were characterized, and the results showed that after ultrasonic and hydrothermal treatment, the main chemical structure of composites was not changed significantly. Compared with untreated composites, the wear resistance after ultrasonic treatment for 10 min is the best. After ultrasonic treatment for 15 min, the bending strength, tensile strength and impact strength of the composite are increased by 8.9%, 10.3% and 46.2%, respectively. Hydrothermal treatment at appropriate temperatures also improved some properties of the composites. The composites after hydrothermal treatment at 110°C had the best thermal stability and highest hardness, and the bending strength and tensile strength values were increased by 5.9% and 5.2%, respectively. The impact strength of the composite increased with the increase of hydrothermal treatment temperature. The results showed that ultrasonic and hydrothermal treatments have the potential to improve the performance of wood–plastic composites as environmentally friendly pretreatment methods.

“…Since the polymeric materials in the cellular membrane include hydroxyl and other oxygen-containing compounds that attract water via covalent bonds, the volume of lignin materials shifts as the quantity of water inside them increases. 50,51 Hemicelluloses do most of the work of absorbing moisture; however, visible cellulose, non-crystalline cellulose, lignin, and cellulose interface contribute significantly as well.…”

Natural fibers such as Banana fiber and sugarcane bagasse powder are used in the present study, which are abundantly available at low cost. Novel hybrid natural fiber reinforced composite specimen prepared by using the matrix material as epoxy (70%) with the addition of hardener and the reinforcement material (30%) used as NaOH chemical treated banana fiber with the addition of filler material as sugarcane bagasse powder to enhance the property. To prepare the composite material hand-lay process is used and manufactured three different combination of specimen by varying the composition ration of 10%, 15%, and 20% of reinforced material. The mechanical properties such as tensile, compression, flexural, Impact test of the prepared specimen have been evaluated as per the ASTM standards. The mechanical properties results depicts that the specimen prepared with chemically treated fiber gives more strength as compared to untreated fiber composites. The morphological study evidences the proper fiber used while preparing the hybrid composite material. The maximum tensile strength achieved in specimen is 73.48 MPa, compressive strength of 99.63 MPa, flexural strength of 77.50 MPa, Impact strength of 4.8 J/mm, Vickers hardness value of 59.6. The specimen prepared with chemically treated specimen has a higher percentage of water absorption than the untreated. This novel hybrid composite material can be used in automobile, aircraft, building, sports, and household applications.

“…Moreover, they are extremely costly to be used in different types of loadings. Basalt fiber, as a natural fiber such as flax, 5 hemp, 6 jute, 7 kenaf, 8 sisal, 9 banana, 10 palm 11 and basalt, 12–15 is a desired type of ecofriendly reinforcement which can be considered as a candidate for using in the structure of composite materials.…”

Nanoparticles are considered as feasible strengthening agent which strengthen different types of polymeric materials with minor reduction in the density of composites. In this study, 0.1 and 0.5 wt. % Graphene Nano Platelets (GNPs) are added to the matrix of basalt fiber reinforced epoxy composites (BECs) and the effects of such addition on low velocity impact behavior are investigated. In this regard, the epoxy matrix is reinforced in macro scale by basalt fibers weaved together in 2/2 Twill pattern. Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion Molding (VARIM) method is used to fabricate the pure and multi-scale BECs. The profile energy method is also used to evaluate the penetration and perforation threshold of fabricated pure and multi-scale BEC specimens. The force versus time and deflection, energy and deflection versus time curves are plotted and the key parameters of low velocity impact test including maximum force, energy and deflection are compared. According to the results, introducing of GNP nanoparticles in the matrix of BECs improves the low velocity impact behavior of these composites by increasing the contact force and decreasing the absorbed energy in rebounding state. Finally, based on the experiments, the 0.5 wt.% BEC has the best impact performance by applying 15.08 kN impact force against the applied forces of 13.78 kN and 11.208 kN for 0.1 wt.% and pure BECs.
