“…The samples were then placed in a container filled with distilled water for different time intervals, which were 5 days, 10 days, 15 days, 20 days, and 25 days. The moisture absorption was determined by the mathematical formula given in Equation (1) [ 19 ]:

Natural fiber reinforced composites have had a great impact on the development of eco-friendly industrial products for several engineering applications. Sugar palm fiber (SPF) is one of the newly found natural fibers with limited experimental investigation. In the present work, sugar palm fiber was employed as the natural fiber reinforcement. The composites were hot compressed with polyvinyl butyral (PVB) to form the structure of laminated composites and then were subjected to tensile testing and moisture absorption. The maximum modulus and tensile strength of 0.84 MPa and 1.59 MPa were registered for samples PVB 80-S and PVB 70-S, respectively. Subsequently, the latter exhibited the highest tensile strain at a maximum load of 356.91%. The moisture absorption test revealed that the samples exhibited better water resistance as the proportion of PVB increased relative to the proportion of SPF due to the remarkable hydrophobic property of PVB in comparison with that of SPF.

“…It has been widely used for flooring, in automotives, furniture, packaging, and other fields. Many experimental studies on BPCs have been carried out . However, present research shows that BPCs prepared from BFs and common plastic matrix have poor mechanical properties due to the inherent incompatibility between the BFs and the polymeric matrix, which limits their applications as structural and engineering materials.…”

In order to improve the properties of bamboo-plastic composites (BPCs), bamboo flour/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites were reinforced with ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The effects of UHMWPE on properties of composites were studied. The crystallinity of composites decreased slightly. Compared with non-UHMWPE added bamboo powder/HDPE composite, the composite with 6 wt % UHMWPE, showed decrease in water absorption to 0.41%, whereas its tensile strength and flexural strength increased to 34.51 and 25.88 MPa, respectively, a corresponding increase of 34.59 and 12.87%. The temperatures corresponding to initial degradation temperature (T initial ) and maximum degradation temperature (T max ) of the composite increased from 282.7 and 467.4 C to 288.5 and 474.7 C respectively. Scanning electron microscopic images showed that UHMWPE was well dispersed and fully extended as long fibers in the composite, forming a "three-dimensional physically cross-linked network structure," which contributed to the improved properties of the composites.

“…In recent decades, natural plant-fibers-reinforced polymer matrix composites have received more and more attention due to their low-density, low-cost, good durability, environmental friendliness, and favorable biodegradability. [1][2][3][4][5] Several natural plant fibers, including jute, hemp, flax, bamboo, kenaf, and sisal had been widely used to reinforce thermosetting polymers (eg, epoxy, unsaturated polyester, etc. ), [6][7][8][9][10][11] and thermoplastics polymers (eg, polypropylene (PP), poly(vinyl chloride), polyethylene, polylactic acid, poly(butylene succinate), etc.).…”

Improving the interfacial compatibility of plant fibers and polymer matrices still is an ongoing challenge in the application of natural fiber/polymer composites. In this study, the graphene oxide (GO) was grafted onto alkali‐treated bamboo fiber (ABF) surfaces, and then a GO‐ABF/polypropylene (PP) composite was prepared using a mini‐injection molding technique. The chemical properties of the GO‐ABF surface, as well as the mechanical properties of the GO‐ABF/PP composite, were studied systematically. The results showed that the GO sheets were successfully grafted on the surface of ABF, and the hydrogen bond interaction occurred between the GO and the ABF. Compared with the untreated bamboo fiber (UBF)/PP composite, the tensile strength and flexural strength of the 0.1GO‐ABF/PP composite were increased by 12.6% and 23.7%, respectively, due to the enhancement of the interfacial binding force between GO‐ABF and the PP matrix. These results indicate that GO possesses great potential for improving the mechanical properties of GO‐ABF/PP composite. It can provide a reference basis for the feasibility of using GO in the natural fiber/polymer composites.
