“…1 These fibers are the most conventional in the market and give the composites manufactured good properties of tensile and bending strength, impact resistance, stiffness, and fatigue resistance, contributing to the replacement of traditional materials in structural projects, given that they provide strength and versatility. 2 Petrochemical products, Synthetic fibers, which are petrochemical derivatives, are materials widely used as reinforcement in the manufacture of polymeric composites. Polyester, nylon, acrylic, and glass fibers have been widely used as reinforcement for composites, due to their advantageous properties, such as high strength, chemical resistance, good insulation, and good elasticity.…”

Concerns about global warming, environmental preservation, overexploitation of raw materials, and the development of new technologies are increasing. This has been attracting increasing interest in composites reinforced with natural fibers, mainly to replace synthetic materials. In this context, the present research work aimed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the production of polyester-polymeric-matrix composites reinforced with fibers of Luffa cylindrica and a hybrid with fiberglass. The composites' physical properties (density, moisture content, water absorption, and thickness swelling) and mechanical properties (tensile, bending strength, and Rockwell hardness (RH)) were assessed. The composites were produced through cold pressing in a closed mold. The experiment was performed according to an entirely randomized design with two replicates per treatment and the means were compared by the Tukey test at 95% probability. The results demonstrated that the reinforcement with the Luffa fibers promoted a decrease in the density of the composites, with a minimum value of 1.01 g cm−3. In the assays of tensile strength, the reinforced composite presented a value of 10.20 MPa for this property, while for the bending strength, the value was 18.04 MPa. When the Luffa fibers were employed in the hybrid composite, the bending strength reached 105.12 MPa. In general, the composites reinforced with the plant fibers and the hybrid had physical and mechanical properties permitting their employment for several end-uses, according to the characteristics of each one. The new composites are partially biodegradable, sustainable, and light.

This study aimed to prepare and characterize PAA/carbonized waste rubber composites. Composites containing different proportions of PAA, and carbonized waste rubber were prepared (0.5%, 1% and 2% carbonized waste rubber by weight of PAA). Structural characterization of the prepared composites was carried out using FT-IR and XRD techniques. Thermal stability was examined with the TGA/DTG technique. Their morphologies were investigated using SEM. It is evaluated that the thermal stability of PAA is increased by preparing the composites obtained from all the results and the obtained composites can be used in areas where the thermal management of the electronic product is required.
