This study is about the hybrid composite which used the woven Kevlar, long Kenaf fibre, and unsaturated polyester as the matrix. It focused on the mechanical characterization and properties of hybrid composite. The hybrid composites were fabricated by treated and untreated kenaf fibre and Kevlar as reinforcement in unsaturated polyester matrix using hand lay-up process. Effect of 6wt% of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) on the hybrid composites were analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The tensile and impact performance of the samples were tested according to the standard ASTM D3039 and ASTM D3763, respectively. Based on scanning electron micrograph (SEM) morphological examination, it revealed that the interfacial adhesion between the fibre surface and polymer matrix were improved. The results proved that the alkaline treatment can help to improve the mechanical properties compared to the untreated kenaf fibre.

Interfacial adhesion of basalt and glass fibre reinforced polypropylene composites was studied using microdebond testing technique. A focus was put on a simple approach of applying extruded thermoplastic films as a matrix material for microdroplet formation. The ability of different viscosity and thickness polypropylene films to form symmetrical droplets under a temperature range of 200–240℃ was evaluated. Emphasis was put on polypropylene matrix chemistry, silane fibre surface treatment and testing loading rate impact on interfacial performance change in polypropylene-basalt fibre and polypropylene-glass fibre microcomposites. It was found that it was possible to obtain high symmetrical droplet yield out of polypropylene films of melt flow rate 50 and 125 g/10 min and 55–85 µm thickness at 240℃. The presence of maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene coupling agent increased the interfacial shear strength significantly. Microcomposites with glass fibre had higher interfacial shear strength in comparison with the used basalt fibre, mainly due to the difference in their sizing. Various silane-based fibre surface coatings did not result in significant interfacial adhesion changes. Polypropylene-glass fibre microcomposite interfacial shear strength at 0.5, 3.0 and 10.0 mm min–1 loading rates had similar values with high maximum pull-out force scatter at 0.5 and 3.0 mm min–1 loading rates and low scatter at 10.0 mm min–1.

Polymer composites using natural fibres as the reinforcing agents have found their use in many applications. However, they do suffer from a few limitations, due to the hydrophilicity of the natural fibres which results in low compatibility with the hydrophobic polymer matrices. This paper aims to determine the best sugar palm (Arenga pinnata) fibre surface treatment to improve the fibre-matrix interfacial adhesion. Fibre surface modifications were carried out by water retting process where the fibres were immersed in sea water, pond water and sewage water for the period of 30 days. The test samples were fabricated by placing a single fibre in an unsaturated polyester resin. Single-fibre pull-out tests showed that freshwater-treated fibres possessed the highest interfacial shear strength, followed by untreated fibres, sewage water-treated fibres, and sea water-treated fibres. Further surface analyses of the samples were performed using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and an Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) system.

The surface modification of silica for epoxy molding compounds (EMC) was conducted by plasma polymerization using RF plasma (13.56MPa), and the modification factors such as plasma power, gas pressure and treatment time were investigated systematically in this paper. The monomers utilized for the plasma polymer coatings were pyrrole, 1,3-diaminopropane, acrylic acid and urea. The plasma polymerization coating of silica was characterized by FTIR, contact angle. Using the silica treated by plasma as filler, ortho-cresol novolac epoxy as main resin, novolac phenolic-formaldehyde resin as cross-linking agent and 2-methylmizole as curing accelerating agent, the EMCs used for the packaging of large-scale integrated circuits were prepared by high-speed pre-mixture and twin roller mixing technology. The results have shown that the surface of silica can be coated by plasma polymerization of pyrrole, 1,3-diaminopropane, acrylic acid and urea, and the comprehensive properties of EMC were improved.
