“…The use of polysaccharide-like cellulose as natural filler in various polymer composite systems has been widely investigated by many researchers [1][2][3][4]. This is due to the fact that the cellulose is one of the most abundant polymers on the earth, which is also low-cost, non-toxic, renewable, environmentally friendly and biodegradable [5,6].…”

Cellulose woven (CW) was surface treated by means of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant (HTAB) in aqueous solution medium at elevated temperature. The parameters of the surface treatment that have been studied are HTAB concentration (0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 wt%) and treatment time (1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 h). The untreated and treated CW filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) biocomposites were prepared via compression molding technique. The tensile testing results of LDPE/CW biocomposites demonstrated that the optimum HTAB concentration for treatment of CW in 1 h was 0.4 wt%, while the optimum treatment time at 0.4 wt% HTAB was 2 h. The SEM (scanning electron microscope) images indicated that there is no significant difference in the morphology of the untreated and treated CW; however the morphology of the LDPE/treated CW biocomposite showed better interfacial adhesion as compared with the untreated ones. The FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) spectra revealed that the presence of HTAB on the surface of treated CW and also revealed the existence of intermolecular interactions between LDPE and treated CW. In summary, HTAB could potentially be used as a treatment agent for modifying the surface of CW and consequently improved the tensile properties of LDPE/CW biocomposites.

“…20 The flax/glass hybrid composites based on continuous reinforcement showed good tensile and flexural properties as compared to flax composite. 21 In another study, Hanifawati et al 22 evaluated the tensile and flexural strengths of banana/ glass hybrid composites and results indicated that the incorporation of small fraction of glass fibres in banana-polymer composite show enhancement in tensile and flexural properties.…”

Bilayer hybrid composites fabricated by hand lay-up technique by impregnating oil palm empty fruit bunch and jute fibre mats with epoxy resin and cured at 100℃ for 1 h followed by post curing at 105℃. Bilayer hybrid composites were prepared by varying the relative weight fraction of the two fibres. The mechanical, morphological and thermal properties of oil palm/jute bilayer hybrid composites were carried out. When the jute fibre loading is increased in the bilayer hybrid composites, flexural strength and modulus of the hybrid composites will be higher. The hybridization of the jute fibres with oil palm composite decreased the impact strength of the bilayer hybrid composites. Analysis of variance statistical of flexural and impact properties were also carried out; there is a statistically significant difference between the mean flexural strength, flexural modulus and impact strength from one level of composite to another at the 95.0% confidence level. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal stability of oil palm composites increased with development of bilayer hybrid composites. Scanning electron micrographs of impact fracture samples are taken to study the failure mechanism, and fibre/matrix interface adhesion.

“…The tensile strength is greatly dependent on effective and uniform stress distribution [53]. In the present study, the increased strength of the interwoven hybrid composite was primarily attributed to the high strength of the hemp fibre rather than the low strength of the PET fibre [54]. This is indicated by the strength properties shown in Table 1; the strength of the hemp fibre (250 MPa) was double that of the PET fibre (100 MPa).…”

A dynamic mechanical analysis was undertaken to determine the influence of moisture on the mechanical properties of interwoven hemp/polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hybrid composites. Composite laminates were fabricated using vacuum infusion process; form epoxy resin reinforced with interwoven hemp and PET fibres. Woven hemp, woven PET, and interwoven hemp/PET hybrid composites were produced. The hybrid hemp/PET composites yielded the highest final residue % due to the PET fibres which improved the thermal stability. The glass transition temperatures of the woven hemp, woven PET, and interwoven hemp/PET hybrid composites were 68, 67, and 69 °C, respectively. Water absorption tests were conducted, and tensile and flexural tests were conducted on the wet and dry specimens. The water uptake of the hemp/PET hybrid composite was half that of the woven hemp composites. The tensile and flexural strengths of the interwoven hemp/PET hybrid composites were 4% and 22% greater than those of the woven hemp composites, respectively.
