Abstract Rotational moulding is a powder processing technology widely used to manufacture hollow plastic products. It is a well-known process used for the manufacturing of large containers, water tanks, fuel tanks, refrigerated containers etc. The present work aimed at the incorporation of Tampico and Palmyra fibers as reinforcement in Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE) matrix. The effect of fiber length on various properties like mechanical, morphological and vibration damping characteristics of the composites were investigated. The fibers were initially treated with 5% NaOH solution for better reinforcing efficiency and to improve the degradation temperature. Thermo Gravimetry Analysis (TGA) reported that a sufficient increment in degradation temperature is achieved by NaOH treatment on fibers. The short fiber composites considered for the study has obtained better mechanical strength than long fiber reinforced LLDPE composites. The results proved that fiber length has less effect on the vibration damping characteristics of the composites, but the percentage of fiber content is a significant factor for improving the natural frequency of the composites.

In this paper, we prepared foaming silicon rubber (PVMQ) /isobutylene-isoprene rubber (IIR) composites with chemical foaming technology. The DMA tests results showed that these foaming materials have effective damping characteristics in a wide temperature range. With the special vibrator, we found that the PVMQ/IIR foams that we prepared were the damping materials which has wide frequency domain, because they can keep high damping ratio in a wide frequency domain. When the preloading was between 1.0 mm and 1.7 mm, the structural damping did not change obviously. According to tests, we found that the damping ratio of these foams was fit to the simple equation .
