Properties and microstructures of Plant-Fiber-reinforced cement-based composites
Cement and Concrete Research, 2000Co-Authors: Yun-long Yue, Zhong-jian ZhaoAbstract:Abstract The effects of microstructures and interface situation on the properties of Plant Fiber cement-based composite materials with steel slag were studied. The hydration mechanism of matrix materials adulterated with steel slag was discussed. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of Plant Fiber cement-based composite materials have been effectively improved through treating the surface of Plant Fiber by urea–formaldehyde resin.

Importance of Interfacial Adhesion Condition on Characterization of Plant-Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites: A Review.
Polymers, 2021Co-Authors: Ching Hao Lee, Abdan Khalina, Seng Hua LeeAbstract:Plant Fibers have become a highly sought-after material in the recent days as a result of raising environmental awareness and the realization of harmful effects imposed by synthetic Fibers. Natural Plant Fibers have been widely used as fillers in fabricating Plant-Fibers-reinforced polymer composites. However, owing to the completely opposite nature of the Plant Fibers and polymer matrix, treatment is often required to enhance the compatibility between these two materials. Interfacial adhesion mechanisms are among the most influential yet seldom discussed factors that affect the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the Plant-Fibers-reinforced polymer composites. Therefore, this review paper expounds the importance of interfacial adhesion condition on the properties of Plant-Fiber-reinforced polymer composites. The advantages and disadvantages of natural Plant Fibers are discussed. Four important interface mechanism, namely interdiffusion, electrostatic adhesion, chemical adhesion, and mechanical interlocking are highlighted. In addition, quantifying and analysis techniques of interfacial adhesion condition is demonstrated. Lastly, the importance of interfacial adhesion condition on the performances of the Plant Fiber polymer composites performances is discussed. It can be seen that the physical and thermal properties as well as flexural strength of the composites are highly dependent on the interfacial adhesion condition.

Plant Fiber industrial waste reinforced polymer composites as a potential wood substitute material
Journal of Composite Materials, 2008Co-Authors: Mohini Saxena, R K Morchhale, P Asokan, B K PrasadAbstract:This investigation deals with the property characterization and utilization of abundantly available and renewable resources of Plant Fibers such as jute and sisal. These Plant Fibers along with industrial wastes (fly ash and red mud) have been used for synthesizing value added composite materials. Relevant engineering properties such as physical and mechanical, resistance to abrasive wear, weathering and fire, etc., of the Plant Fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites so synthesized were characterized. The characteristics of conventional wood and other commercially available potential candidate building materials were also compared to assess the application potential of the newly developed materials vis-a-vis their conventional counterparts. The study reveals that the developed polymer—natural Fiber—industrial (inorganic) waste composites attain far superior mechanical properties and resistance to abrasive wear, fire, water absorption, weathering, and chemical attack, as compared to their conventional ...

Comprehensive review on Plant Fiber-reinforced polymeric biocomposites
Journal of Materials Science, 2021Co-Authors: Sakil Mahmud, K. M. Faridul Hasan, Anwar Jahid, Kazi Mohiuddin, Ruoyu Zhang, Jin ZhuAbstract:The expansion of environment-friendly materials based on natural sources increases dramatically in terms of biodegradable, recyclable, and environmental disputes throughout the world. Plant-based natural Fiber, a high potential field of the reinforced polymer composite material, is considered as lightweight and economical products as they possess lower density, significant material characteristics, and extraordinary molding flexibility. The usage of Plant Fibers on the core structure of composite materials have drawn significant interest by the manufacturers to meet the increasing demand of the consumers for sustainable features with enhanced mechanical performances and functionalities. The Plant Fiber-based composites have widespread usage in construction, automotive, packaging, sports, biomedical, and defense sectors for their superior characteristics. Therefore, this critical review would demonstrate an overview regarding the background of natural Fiber composites, factors influencing the composite properties, chemical interaction between the Fiber and matrices, future potentiality, and marketing perspectives for triggering new research works in the field of biocomposite materials.
