“…This was associated with the hydrophilicity of kenaf inducing interfacial debonding between the UK bre and the matrix. Similar results have been reported by Alias et al 52 when they found that the lowering of impact strength of a kenaf bre/PLA composite was due to poor interfacial adhesion between the matrix and bre causing a crack in the matrix. However, for composites containing 30 wt% of TK bre, better compatibility in the whole of PS matrix was observed and is shown in (Fig.…”

“…PLA is a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer that can be applied to various industries, especially in packaging and biomedical materials (Sengupta et al 2018). By reinforcing PLA with some natural fibers, PLA is expected to replace synthetic plastic (Yusoff et al 2016;Chin et al 2017;Alias et al 2018). The use of natural fibers as reinforcement is so that the composite material produced can be fully biodegradable so that it can be called biocomposite (Alias et al 2018;Chaitanya et al 2019;Komal et al 2019).…”

“…Several studies have reported that PLA can be reinforced with several types of natural fibers, for example with kenaf (Yusoff et al 2016;Alias et al 2018, Hassan et al 2018, ramie Yu et al 2015), jute (Aguilar et al 2018;Rajesh et al 2018;Jiang et al 2019), and bamboo (Sukmawan et al 2016;Sinha et al 2018;Li et al 2019).…”

In this research, composite material was fabricated from both renewable resources and biodegradable materials: ramie woven fabric as reinforcement and 3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) filament as resin matrix. The laminate composites were produced using a film stacking method and processed using hot-press molding. The mechanical properties of woven ramie fabric, PLA matrix, and laminate composites were investigated. It is shown that the breaking force of the plain woven ramie fabric in the warp direction was greater than in the weft direction. Further, the tensile and impact properties of laminate at warp direction higher than weft direction when ramie fabric reinforcement is used. In addition, scanning electron microscopy examination of laminate composite showed good bonding between ramie fiber and PLA matrix. In summary, laminated composites based on polylactic acid and woven ramie fabric display good performance capability, which can use for the development of engineering applications.

Radial tires (RT) are widely used in the automobile. However, the moisture absorption characteristics of the tire in the hygrothermal environment accelerate tire aging and affect the service life. This work focused on the water absorption behavior and durability of RT composites in the hygrothermal environment. The effects of aging in water at 30, 60, and 90 C on water absorption, chemical degradation, and internal structure of RT composites were investigated. The results showed that the water diffusion of RT composites followed the Fickian's law of diffusion in the initial stage. The kinetic parameters of water absorption were also determined at this stage and were closely related to the change of temperature. Then, moisture led to the poor interface and the degradation of RT composites. Natural rubber (NR) matrix swelled due to the invasion of water, which developed stresses that could cause microcracks of the matrix in the second stage. Moreover, moisture promoted hydrolysis of the NR matrix and agents in the third stage. The water molecules existed in unbound water and bound water, which made the water diffusion followed the Langmuir adsorption model.
