Property correlations for composites based on ethylene propylene diene rubber reinforced with flax fibers
Maria Daniela Stelescu,Anton Airinei,Elena Manaila,Gabriela Craciun,Nicusor Fifere,Cristian Varganici +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fiber loading on the mechanical, thermal and water uptake characteristics were studied using tensile testing, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetrical analysis and scanning electron microscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interface Bond Improvement of Sisal Fibre Reinforced Polylactide Composites with Added Epoxy Oligomer.
TL;DR: The results were further justified with the calculation of activation energies of glass transition relaxation (∆Ea) by dynamic mechanical analysis, which indicated that the mobility of the PLA molecular chain in composites was restricted because of the introduction of the ADR oligomer.

Effect of Ramie Fabric Chemical Treatments on the Physical Properties of Thermoset Polylactic Acid (PLA) Composites
TL;DR: In this article, Ramie fabric-reinforced thermoset polylactic acid (PLA) composites were prepared by using heat pressing technology, and three chemical treatments were done, and the flexure strength of the ramie fabric reinforced PLA composites improved in all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and thermal performance of distillers grains filled poly(butylene succinate) composites
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical and dynamic properties, morphology, melting and crystallization behavior, as well as thermal stability of poly(butylene succinate)/distillers grains (PBS/DG) composites with different DG contents were investigated.

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.
