Studies on mechanical performance of biofibre/glass reinforced polyester hybrid composites
Supriya Mishra,Amar K. Mohanty,Lawrence T. Drzal,Manjusri Misra,S. Parija,Sanjay K. Nayak,S.S Tripathy +6 more
TL;DR: The degree of mechanical reinforcement that could be obtained by the introduction of glass fibres in biofibre (pineapple leaf fibre/sisal fibre) reinforced polyester composites has been assessed experimentally as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermo-physical and impact properties of epoxy nanocomposites reinforced by single-wall carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, a sonication technique was used to disperse fluorinated single-wall carbon nanotubes (FSWCNT) in the glassy epoxy network resulting in nanocomposites having large improvement in modulus with extremely small amount of FSWCNT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engineered natural fiber reinforced polypropylene composites: influence of surface modifications and novel powder impregnation processing
TL;DR: In this article, the surface modifications of natural fibers involving alkali treatment and treatment with maleated polyolefins are found to be very effective in improving fiber-matrix adhesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Renewable Resource-Based Cellulose Acetate Bioplastic: Effect of Process Engineering on the Performance of Cellulosic Plastics
TL;DR: In this paper, a cellulose acetate biopolymer with varying concentrations of an eco-friendly triethyl citrate (TEC) plasticizer was used to make it a suitable matrix polymer for bio-composite applications.
