Green and sustainable material is the utmost prerequisite for the advancement of a healthy society and fulfilling the necessary for the improvement in material science. Naturally obtaining wood flour has the competence to be reinforced as a filler substance in the polymer composite. The present article deals with the usage of wood flour as a filler in the polymer composite. The article comprises properties, characteristics, occurrence, the structure of wood, and the techniques implemented in the manufacturing of wood flour polymer composites. In addition, critical parameters and causes that can bring changes in the properties like tensile, flexural, impact and hardness of polymers are also discussed with the addition of wood flour alone and with nanoparticles. The advantages of using wood flour as a filler in the thermoset and thermoplastic polymers discussed, and its hybridization with various natural fibers was also discussed in the present study.

In the recent years, due to environmental awareness of general public, researchers and scientists directed towards the use of natural fibers reinforced composites as environmentally friendly. Now a days, many scientists, researchers and engineers have explored the extraction, properties and utilization of natural fibers as economically and effectively as possible to produce good quality natural fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. Many scientists and researchers proved that increase in fiber loading resulted in increased mechanical properties of the composite material. This will be the basis to develop and to evaluate properties of natural fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. In this research, Kenaf long fiber reinforced epoxy matrix composites were successfully fabricated by simple and cost effective hand layup technique and their mechanical properties such as tensile strength, bending strength, impact strength, hardness with different fiber loading were successfully investigated. Water absorption capacity was also reported. The fibers are treated with NaoH solution for surface modification and to improve mechanical properties. The specimens are prepared according to ASTM standard and experiments were carried out

Single Screw Extruder

In this study, low density polyethylene (LDPE) matrix composites were manufactured with the ratios of 20%, 30% and 40%wt hazelnut and peanut reinforcements as the natural fibers. Composite plates were manufactured by using a single screw extruder. Various tests and measurements are performed to obtain mechanical properties such as density, tensile strength (TS), Youngs modulus (YM), failure strain (FS), impact strength (IS) etc. as well as the effect of maleic anhydride grafted resin as an additive with different ratios was investigated and the optimum composite content was obtained. This preliminary work showed that hazelnut and peanut fillers could be utilized with proper additives in order to produce the composite materials with good physical and mechanical properties.

The Impact

The use of natural fibers as fillers in polymer matrix composites is an alternative for reusing the fruit wastes that originated from the food industry. This work aimed to evaluate the effect of grape skin fiber (GSF) on the rheological and mechanical properties of polypropylene/GSF (PP/GSF) composites. The composites were prepared by extrusion followed by injection molding and characterized by rheological, morphological, and mechanical properties. Rheological measurement results showed an increase in viscosity at low frequencies. The relaxation time of the PP/GSF composites increased by about 415% with the increase in the GSF content from 1 to 3 phr. Capillary rheometry results indicated that the processability of PP was not compromised with the addition of GSF. Morphology analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated a good interaction between the PP matrix and GSF and a good dispersion/distribution of the fibers in the PP matrix. The impact strength decreased by about 14 and 17% with the addition of 1 and 3 phr, respectively, of GSF to PP whereas the elastic modulus remained almost unchanged.

Properties Of Composites

In this research aluminum matrix composites (AMCs) was reinforced by titanium carbide (TiC) particles and was produced. Powder metallurgy technique (PM) has been used to fabricate AMCs reinforced with various amounts (0%, 4%, 8%, 12%, 16% and 20% volume fraction) of TiC particles to study the effect of different volume fractions on mechanical properties of the Al-TiC composites. Measurements of compression strength and hardness showed that mechanical properties of composites increased with an increase in volume fraction of TiC Particles. Al-20 % vol. TiC composites exhibited the best properties with hardness value (97HRB) and compression strength value (275Mpa).
