Polyester-based composites

One major drawback of fabricating NFRPs with high fiber loading is the increase in water absorption, which is the primary focus of some of the research endeavors. The contribution of natural fibers to the overall water affinity of the NFRP can be evaluated by measuring the mechanical performance of composites in wet

The influence of nano-Al Oj and nano-SiO particles on altering the thermal degradation behavior of the imsaturated polyester-based composite system under various testing environments (Nitrogen and air) is shown in Table 9.6. 

Growing awareness in maintaining a healthy environment has resulted in the development and implementation of eco-friendly products. Biodegradable polyester based composites are widely used in biomedical and commodity applications, because of their degradability and non-toxic properties. 

Biodegradable polyester-based composites have been extensively studied for use in medical applications owing to their biocompatible and degradable properties in the human body. The major reported examples in biomedical products are fracture-fixation devices, such as sutures, screws, micro titration plates, and delivery systems [77]. Cellulosic nanofiber reinforced PLA composite materials... 

A wide range of biodegradable polyester-based composites is available in the new era of novel materials. Polyester-based composites are mainly manufactured by reinforcing with glass/carbon and natural fibers. The use of natural fibers as reinforcement has increased in the last two decades, because of their easy availability and degradable property. Polyester composites reinforced by glass or carbon fibers...
