Biocomposites consisting of the polymer matrix and natural fibers are environmen-tally-friendly material which can replace glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites, and are currently used in a wide range of fields such as the automotive and construction industries, electronic components, sports and leisure, etc. [1, 2]. Recently, the research on nanobiocomposites which are reinforced with both natural fiber and nanofiller is actively proceeding in order to offer higher thermal and mechanical properties, transport barrier, thermal resistivity and flame retardance in comparison with the conventional biocomposites [3-7]. Recently, nanoclay has become of increasing interest in nanocomposites because the characteristics of nanometer-scaled sihcate pellets, such...

Figure 5.141. A glass fiber reinforced LCP composite is shown to have interesting morphology. A polished thin section is shown in polarized light (A) to exhibit a fine domain texture with some orientation of the polymer on the glass surfaces (see color insert). Scanning electron microscopy fracture views (B-D) show the tenacious adhesion of the LCP to the fibers. Fibrillar structures are oriented parallel to the fiber surface, and submicrometer sized domains are observed (D).

Thermosetting composites are cured at either ambient or elevated temperatures to obtain a hard solid by cross-linking. The use of radiation cross-linking decreases the cure time considerably. In particular, an electron beam has been used successfully in many instances. Eor example, glass-fiber-reinforced composites cured by electron beam have been used for the production of cladding panels. ...

Figure 1-7. Examples of plastics in the electrical and electronics field a) snap-in cable set of plugs and adapters, using Amoco s Ardel D-lOO polyarylate b) plastic parts in a sixty-ft.-diameter high-precision, high-frequency antenna c) schematic of a reinforced plastics/ composite radome that protects a 150-ft.-diameter radar antenna from its Maine environment view of reinforced plastics sandwich geodesic radome being assembled the completely assembled radome d) space-communication antenna. The horn of plenty uses an RP sandwich in its reflective panels (glass-fiber-TS polyester skins with a kraft paper-phenolic honeycomb core). It has a two-ply air-inflated Du Pont Hypalon/Dacron fabric elastomeric radome that will protect the antenna from the outside environment for many decades and uses other plastics. This site in Maine was the world s first ground-to-ground conununication satellite.
