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...

Sulfur, modified in its structure so as to become plastic, presents other problems as it can be a very ductile material. Reinforcement in the sense of load sharing may be effected by incorporating relatively ductile thermoplastic fibers. There is a commercial interest in using polypropylene fibers, and Bennett (10,11) has patented a process whereby woven polypropylene fibers are impregnated with asphalt or bitumen and then are coated on at least one side with a sulfur composition. The plasticized sulfur coating sticks to the base and makes the laminate flexible, weather resistant, and light reflecting.
