Wear Behavior of Alkali-Treated Sorghum Straw Fiber Reinforced Polyvinyl Chloride Composites in Corrosive Water Conditions

Abstract: The application of wood-plastic composites is growing rapidly in the fields of corrosion and aging. The present study investigated the effect of alkalitreated (with NaOH concentrations of 0.5, 2.5, 4.5, and 6.5%) sorghum straw (SS) fiber on the wear resistance of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites under simulated seawater and acid rain conditions. The results showed that the wear resistance of the SS/PVC composites was noticeably improved by the addition of the alkali-treated SS fiber. SS fiber treated with 4… Show more

“…59 The alkaline treatment may lead to an increase in surface hardness, and thus increases the wear resistance of the composite. 60 Perhaps, low alkaline concentration on the composite sample improves surface roughness, strengthens the interfacial bond, thereby resisting abrasive wear as also observed in Figure 9 below.…”

Figure 9 is a micro-morphology of an abrasive wear of SWC and SKC in order of increases in alkaline concentration, SWC (Figure 9(a) untreated, (b) 3% alkaline-treated and (c) 7% alkaline-treated) and SKC (Figure 9(d) untreated, (e) 3% alkaline-treated and (f) 7% alkaline-treated).…”

“…Many studies have focused on the aging of composites under different conditions, such as xenon lamp aging [9,10], ultraviolet aging [11,12], bacterial aging [13,14], and seawater and acid rain aging [15,16]. Soil aging is a common aging type, and improving aging resistance is significant for the application of composites [17,18].…”
