“…However, since the polymers are processed mainly at high temperature, thermal stability of plantbased fibers is a considerable factor during processing except to their competitive mechanical characteristics [126]. With the regulations and interest of natural resource utilization in recent past, plant-based natural fibers have been exploited as filler for various applications such as automobile, construction, and packaging industries.…”

“…It was concluded that the addition of banana fiber in jute/epoxy composites of up to 50% by weight results in increasing the mechanical and thermal properties. Aji et al 11 studied the thermogravimetric and derivative thermogravimetric analyses hybridized kenaf/ PALF fiber-reinforced HDPE composites. From this study the hybrid fibers have been shown to improve thermal stability of hybrid composites at lower fiber loading.…”

During the last few years, the hybrid composite materials are replacing the conventional composite materials because of their superior properties. In the present communication, unidirectional banana-jute hybrid fiber-reinforced epoxy composites were prepared by varying the fiber content from 0 to 40 wt% with different weight ratios. The physical and thermal properties of the hybrid composites were tested as per ASTM standards. The influence of fiber content on density, thermal conductivity, specific heat, thermal diffusivity, thermal stability, and water absorption of hybrid composites was investigated. A new micromechanical model for the transverse thermal conductivity of hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composites is developed using the law of minimal thermal resistance and equal law of specific equivalent thermal conductivity. The results are validated with the results obtained by experimental, numerical simulation, and analytical methods existing in the literature. In numerical, steady state heat transfer simulations were performed to calculate thermal conductivity by using ANSYS software. It is encouraging to notice that the experimental and numerical results are in close approximation with the values predicted by the micromechanical model suggested in this work. It is found that the measured properties of the hybrid composites are suitable for building components and automobiles in order to decrease energy consumption.

“…Further, the initial decomposition temperature of UT-BSF/ PLA composite at 342 8C, was enhanced to 349 8C of BP-T-BSF/ PLA composite after mercerization followed by BP treatment. These results showed that delayed thermal degradation of T-BSF/PLA composites (378 8C) have superior thermal properties compared to that of UT-BSF/PLA composites (373 8C) and virgin PLA (366 8C) and DTG thermograms of above materials confirm too about thermal stability [7,9,11,13,17,19,20,[24][25][26]. Further, the standard error bars are shown for the average values related to maximum derivative thermograms ( Fig.…”

“…A similar trend was observed in our study indicating above decomposition mechanisms. Hence, the UT-BSF/PLA composites showed better thermal degradation pattern in comparison with virgin PLA [9,11,13,14,17,25,26]. In case of BP-T-BSF/PLA composite, the first initial step transition onset peak (Fig.…”

The present work focused on thermal behavior of biocomposites based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) reinforced with untreated and benzoyl peroxide (BP) treated banana/sisal fibers (BSF) combination. Fabrication of biocomposites was performed by extrusion followed by injection molding. Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectral technique ascertained the nature of bonding between BSF and PLA. The thermal properties of virgin PLA, UT‐BSF/PLA, and BP‐T‐BSF/PLA composites were studied by DSC and TGA analysis. DSC analysis indicated no significant changes in the glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) of virgin PLA, UT‐BSF/PLA, and BP‐T‐BSF/PLA composites and no sign of crystallization for both virgin PLA, UT‐BSF/PLA composites. However, crystallization was observed in BP‐T‐BSF/PLA composites. The BP‐T‐BSF/PLA composite exhibited a delayed thermal degradation pattern from TGA analysis when compared to that of UT‐BSF/PLA composites and virgin PLA as well. Further, the effect of BSF treatment and hybridization of BSF with PLA on the degree of crystallinity (Xc) were explored in detail. The above said composites were also investigated through scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs to examine the adhesion between the PLA and BSF. In addition, the results of SEM acquired are in good agreement with the data resulted from FTIR and thermal characterization. POLYM. COMPOS., 38:1053–1062, 2017. © 2015 Society of Plastics Engineers
