“…The increase in the HDT values of PTT composites with increasing rCF content also is in good agreement with the results of the flexural modulus of the composites [39]. HDT is directly proportional to the modulus and inversely proportional to the applied load at which deformation occurs [40]. Therefore, an increased storage modulus with higher fibre loading at higher temperature is also a contributing factor in the increase of HDT values [40].…”

Biobased composites from recycled carbon fibre and poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) were fabricated by extrusion followed by injection moulding. The mechanical, thermal and morphological properties of the composites were investigated as a function of recycled carbon fibre content. The mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and notched impact strength as well as tensile and flexural modulus of the composites increased with increasing recycled carbon fibre content. The improvement of stiffness and toughness of composite materials is one of the important findings of this investigation. Experimental values of tensile strength and modulus were compared with parallel, series and Hirsch's models. The morphology of the composites was analysed by scanning electron microscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis were used to measure the thermal properties of the composites. Recycled carbon fibre loading appreciably improved the storage modulus of PTT. Thermal stability and crystallization temperature of PTT also improved with the recycled carbon fibre content.

The aim of this chapter is to describe the main studies and results on starch-based nanocomposites reinforced with clay particles. This particular combination leads to the formation of a nanocomposite material with novel properties. However, a good knowledge about starch (structure, type, chemical and physical modification) and its rheological behaviour is necessary for developing these nanocomposites. Many factors and processing parameters affect the final properties of the starch based nano-biocomposites. The main factors which influence the mechanical properties of the nano-biocomposites will be analyzed such as the type of clay, the chemical modification of clay, the type of plasticizer, the water humidity test conditions, the use of chemically modified starches, the thermal stability and water absorption. In addition, the influence of different processing techniques and mixing methods will be studied.

“…Metallocene catalyzed polyethylene (m-LLDPE) has also been used as toughening agent because of presence of butene as a side chain in the structure and arrangement of short chains in the macromolecule with narrow molecular weight distribution [32]. Several studies on aromatic polyester/LLDPE have been made and immiscibility and phase-separated compositions due to structural considerations and different solubility parameter have been indicated [33][34][35][36][37].…”
