In this study, the effect of Eucalyptus globulus wood (UE) used as a filler (5-20% w/w) on the physical and thermal properties of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites was evaluated. To improve the compatibility with HDPE, the wood was modified (TE) using crude glycerol derived from biodiesel production. The addition of 20% (w/w) of UE or TE led to more rigid and durable composite materials compared to neat HDPE (about 50 or 100% increase in tensile strength, respectively). Composites also revealed 55-75 C higher temperatures at maximal degradation rates. The advantageous behavior of TE over UE in composites was attributed to the improvement of surface morphology of modified wood and it is better compatibility with the HDPE as revealed by surface energy analysis. The changes in wetting behavior of HDPE and ensuing HDPE-TE composites (contact angles of ca 72 and 80 , respectively) explain the matrix-filler interactions.

“…With the development of society and the economy, more polymers have increasingly been synthesized and applied in different domains. However, they are not sufficient to meet the requirements of the growing demand of polymers with different properties (e.g., miscible or immiscible, electrical, thermal, mechanical, and tribological properties). Thus, blends and composites are compounded to improve the utilization of different polymers.…”

Poly (phenylene sulfide) (PPS) is one kind of high‐performance polymer with high thermal stability that can be used widely in different industrial domains. However, according to an investigation of the literature, few reviews have comprehensively focused on the continuous development of PPS applications in the past decade. To meet this demand, this paper provides an overall investigation of PPS polymer and PPS‐based composites from synthesis and process to applications. Briefly, this paper introduces PPS materials according to the following topics. First, the molecular weight distribution and morphology of PPS, as well as their reinforced parts, are introduced. Afterward, the topic is focused on the synthesis, process, and blending of PPS. In the next part, this paper investigates the key points regarding PPS as a high‐performance polymer, focusing on the aspect of thermal behavior and mechanical properties. Finally, PPS composite applications are emphasized and overviewed from a wide range of aspects.

“…BFPCs also need to undergo these tests to meet the standards of use. Currently, the research on BFPCs mostly focuses on their formulation (Naldony et al 2016;Torres-Tello et al 2017;Yáñez-Pacios and Martín-Martínez 2017), interfacial compatibility (Beg 2007;Bera et al 2010), and physical and mechanical properties (Herrera-Franco and Valadez-Gonzalez 2005;Graupner and Müssig 2011;Dikobe and Luyt 2017;Khalid et al 2018). As the study of the connection properties of BFPCs, only the effects of screw type, pilot hole, and material thickness on the strength of the joint have been considered (Özçifçi 2009;Haftkhani et al 2011), whereas research on their fatigue and creep characteristics is scarce.…”

Most research on biomass-filled plastic composites (BFPCs) mainly focuses on their formulation and physical/mechanical properties, but studies on the connection performance of BFPCs are very rare. However, such performance is vital in the quality assessment of BFPCs products and plays an important role in improving product quality and promoting its application in the field of architecture and furniture. Therefore, the behavior of L-type BFPCs structure under the interaction of fatigue-creep was investigated. Results suggested that the fatigue-creep curve is a typically three-region curve at 80% and 60% failure load, and only first two stages at 40% failure load. But the damage caused by fatigue-creep interaction was not a simple superposition. Fatigue damage dominated when the holding time was short, and creep damage occupied a dominant position gradually when the holding time was longer. In addition, the lifespan of the BFPC component increased initially and then decreased as holding time increased. The component joint exhibited the least integrated damage when the holding time was 60 s and the lifespan was longer.
