Journal ArticleDOI
Synergic effect of fiber and matrix treatments for vegetable fiber reinforced cement of improved performance
Julian Eduardo Mejia Ballesteros,Gonzalo Mármol,Rafael Filomeno,Loïc Rodier,Holmer Savastano,Juliano Fiorelli +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of hornification and accelerated carbonation on fiber-cement composites was analyzed along time and the results indicated that hornification treatment yields greater dimensional stability improving the fiber-matrix interface and greater Specific Energy of the composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of alkali and alkali/silane treatments of corn fibers on mechanical and thermal properties of its composites with polylactic acid
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study has been made to find out how the two treatments affect the mechanical and thermal properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strengths and glass transition temperature (Tg), crystallinity, and heat deflection temperature (HDT) of the CF/PLA composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Different Compatibilization Strategies to Improve the Performance of Injection-Molded Green Composite Pieces Made of Polylactide Reinforced with Short Flaxseed Fibers
Angel Agüero,David Garcia-Sanoguera,Diego Lascano,Diego Lascano,Sandra Rojas-Lema,Sandra Rojas-Lema,Juan Ivorra-Martinez,Octavio Fenollar,Sergio Torres-Giner +8 more
TL;DR: Interestingly, PS-co-GMA and, more intensely, ESAO yielded the pieces with the highest mechanical performance due to the higher reactivity of these additives with both composite components and their chain-extension action, whereas MLO led to the most ductile pieces due to its secondary role as plasticizer for PLA.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
