Natural Fiber Reinforcement

Numerous types of natural fibers (such as flax, jute, sisal, coir, and hemp) have been used as reinforcements in polymer composites for various engineering [Pg.323]

The lower thermal stability of natural fibers, up to 230°C, the thermal stability is only small, which limits the number of thermoplastics to be considered as matrix materials for natural fiber composites. Only those thermoplastics whose processing temperature does not exceed 230°C are usable for natural fiber reinforced composites. These are, most of all, polyolefines, such as polyethylene and polypropylene. Technical thermoplastics, such as poyamides, polyesters, and polycarbonates, require... [Pg.803]

With the largest turnover, GMT is certainly the most important semi-product in the group of reinforced thermoplastics. A special production process for natural fiber-reinforced PP semi-products (NMT) has been de-... [Pg.804]

Generally, the mechanical and physical properties of natural fiber-reinforced plastics only conditionally reach the characteristic values of glass fiber-reinforced systems. By using hybrid composites made of natural fibers and carbon fibers or natural fibers and glass fibers, the... [Pg.805]

Whichever application of natural fiber or natural fiber-reinforced plastics will be used depends on the different environmental conditions, which are likely to add to the aging and degrading effects. On the other hand, such effects are often desirable, as is the case with com-... [Pg.808]

Several years ago research was undertaken to use oleochemicals to build up matrices for natural fiber reinforced plastics [9]. The use of natural fibers, such as flax, hemp, sisal, and yucca is of increasing interest for various applications, among them the automotive and public transportation industries, where the com-... [Pg.79]

The commercial application of natural fiber reinforced composite systems compared on Table IV is extremely rapidly growing in the automobile manufacturing. Figure 4 shows the conceivable applications for natural fiber reinforced composite in a typical European passenger car [12], Similar application can be designed in commercial heavy transporter (see Fig. 5). [Pg.67]

An extensive survey of literature indicates that there was much less work done in the area of natural fiber reinforced nanocomposites. Hence, the work that is presently done can also be used as a reference in substituting the glass fiber with nanoclays and evaluating the performance characteristics. [Pg.263]
