“…The production of this brand including processing fibers, and manufacturing of components was transferred to Daimler Chrysler in South Africa helping to involve the sisal farmers and financially empowering them . In 2002, DaimlerChrysler researchers patented a new blend of PP‐reinforced abaca fibers supplied from Philippine Manila Cordage Company, to replace glass in 2004 A‐Class coupe spare tire wheel covers earning Mercedes‐Benz, the 2005 society of plastics engineers (SPE) innovative award in the “environment category” . In recognition of their successful fabrication of an air filter system from bio polyamide, Daimler, BASF, and the University of Braunschweig received the 2009 VDI award for the innovative application of plastics.…”

Review of the applications of biocomposites in the automotive industry

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The article provides an overview of biocomposite application in the automotives via a documentation of their history, chronology and progressive steps taken to break into the production lines of a number of key auto makers. It offers a detailed analysis of the key factors that have motivated the research and subsequent adoption of biocomposites; taking a peek at the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges experienced in the process. Auto makers and parts suppliers that have been a force behind this campaign, have also been accorded a fair share in the article. Future projection of role of these materials in the industry; with the ideas well dressed in form of bio concept cars caps up the paper. Automotive refers to; passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles. POLYM. COMPOS., 38:2553–2569, 2017. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…Besides, it is important to mention that not all varieties are commercialized. Some abaca varieties examples are Laylay, Inosa, Linawaan, Sinamok, Abuab, Putian, Libuton, Tangongon, Bungulanon and Maguindanao, being the last three the most common ones (Sinon et al, 2011;Galvez et al, 2021;Hidalgo, 1952).…”

The abaca also known as cañamo of manila, produces a natural fiber which is known as the most resistant worldwide natural fiber, that has properties like resistance to salinity, mechanical strength, flexibility, and durability. The unique characteristics of the fiber have caused an increase in its use in many industries. However, the cultivation of abaca is threatened by the presence of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense, one of the most important diseases which has been considered the most lethal, due to the scarcity of existing control methods. The article aims to highlight recent data about the characteristics of the plant and its fiber, crop management, productivity, and the market as an approach for updating the current knowledge regarding the abaca. It was found that some characteristics of abaca fiber such as strength and physical properties depend on the position of its leaves, on the maturity of the plant and also on the fiber extraction system. Regarding fiber extraction, it is mentioned that there are two types of methods (stripping and decortication). Concerning the productivity, there exists a considerable difference between the ways of bundle extraction, for instance, the hand stripping technique produces about 20 kg of fiber bundles per day. It is concluded that abaca has great potential as a crop that could boost the markets of various countries. Though the information available on this crop is scarce, so it is necessary to increase research about its production and management to promote greater use.

“…Banana fiber samples that were available from weavers were collected and these were considered as the control fibers in our study.The traditional method of fiber extraction involves immersing the raw pseudo-stems in a 1% acetic acid solution, and then boiling them twice with 2% NaoH solution. The fibers are then cleaned and dried [21].…”

“…Banana fiber is a potential natural fiber for use as a composite reinforcement [14][15][16][17][18]. It can be employed as a suitable reinforcement material in composites depending on the physical and thermal characteristics [19][20][21][22]. The chemical composition of plant fibers can be affected by various factors including climatic conditions, geographical location, and so on which can weaken its adherence properties [23,24].…”

Various methods of isolating cellulosic fibers from banana pseudo-stems including mechanical extraction, steam release, steam release combined with chemical treatment, and an enzymatic method with pectinase from Staphylococcus sciuri, were performed. The fibers were produced by all the methods and characterized. In this work, we report on the breaking tenacity, breaking strength, fiber length, diameter, toughness, and linear density of enzyme-retted fiber. Banana cellulose fiber isolated by the enzymatic retting procedure was comparable in physical properties to cotton fiber and was also shown by FTIR analysis to contain cellulose, lignin, and hemicellulose. The banana cellulose fibers had the following characteristics: linear density of 161.81 denier, breaking tenacity of 38.50 g/tex, elongation of 4.03%, fiber diameter of 127.02 m, and fiber length of 191.68 mm.
