The modern textile fibre treatments aim to obtain the required level of beneficial effect while attempting to confine the modification to the fibre surface. Recently, much attention has been focused on different physical methods of fibre surface modification, cold plasma treatment being considered as very useful. Moreover, there are efficient chemical methods available, such as peroxide, biopolymer and enzyme treatment. Some interesting combinations of these physical and chemical surface modification methods as means to modify fibre surface topography and thus controlling the surface-related properties of the fibre are presented in this paper. The properties obtained are discussed on the basis of the physico-chemical changes in the surface layer of the fibre, being assessed by wettability and contact angle measurements, as well as by FTIR-ATR and XPS analysis. The SEM and AFM technique are used to assess the changes in the fibre surface topography and to correlate these changes to the effectiveness, uniformity and severity of the textile fibre surface modification treatments.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of compatibilising agent and surface modification of short pineapple leaf fibre on physical properties of short pineapple leaf fibre reinforced high impact polystyrene (HIPS) composites. The purpose of using the compatibilising agents in this study was to modify the HIPS which include the polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-poly(styrene-graft-maleic anhydride) and poly(styrene-co-maleic anhydride). Meanwhile, the alkali treatment was also used to modify the natural fibre surface of short PALF. The results have shown that adding compatibilising agent has improved the physical properties of the composites more effectively than by only using alkali treatment to modify the natural fibre surface.

Although Natural Fibres have various potential and advantages such as lower in weight, embodied energy and toxicity but their drawbacks are provided relentless competition between natural and synthetics fibres. Intrinsically, Natural Fibres are hydrophilic that is leaded to poor resistance to moisture and incompatible to hydrophobic polymer matrix. This incompatibility of natural fibres results in poor fibre/matrix interface which in turn leads to reduce mechanical properties of the composites. This study try to litreature some methods of chemical treatment or surface modification of Natural Fibres for improving this drawback of natural fibres. The objective of this research is fungi treatment as Green Surface Treatment that is indicate to environmental friendlier process. The use of fungi can provide low cost, highly efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives to natural fibre surface treatment.

The surfaces of poly [p-phenylene benzobisoxazole] (PBO) fibres were grafted with epichlorohydrin by a gamma (γ)-ray irradiation method. The influence of irrdiation dose on the interfacial shear strength (IFSS), interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and the fibre wettability were investigated. In addition, the fibre surface composition, and the shear fracture topography of PBO fibre/epoxy resin composites were analysed by X–ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The results indicate that a dose of 30KGy was the optimal condition for PBO fibre surface modification. The oxygen content of the irradiated PBO fibres was 22% higher than that of the untreated ones, and chlorine atoms were introduced onto the surface of the fibres through grafting actions between epichlorohydrin and PBO. The wettability of the epichlorohydrin-grafted PBO fibres was significantly increased, and the values of IFSS and ILSS of its composites were increased by 70% and 135%, respectively. SEM shows that the improved interfacial adhesion resulted in a change in the failure mode of PBO fibre/epoxy composite from an adhesive-type interfacial failure to a cohesive-like matrix failure.
