The use of natural plant fibers as reinforcing fillers in fiber-polymer composites has drawn much interest in recent years. Natural plant fibers as reinforcing fillers have several advantages over inorganic fillers such as glass fibers; they are abundant, readily available, renewable, inexpensive, biodegradable, of low density, and of high specific strength. Hemp fibers are one of the most attractive natural plant fibers for fiber-reinforced composites because of their exceptional specific stiffness. In this review, we summarize recent progress in developments of the hemp fiber reinforced composites such as hemp fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester (UPE), hemp fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP), hemp fiber reinforced epoxy composites, and so on, illustrate with examples how they work, and discuss their intrinsic fundamentals and optimization designs. We are expecting the review to pave the way for developing fiber-polymer composites with higher strength.

In early composite materials, the use of petroleum based fibers such as glass and carbon fibers, aramid etc. was common. In order to reduce the dependency on petroleum based sources and environmental pollution, researchers have focused on the search for alternative sources. Natural fibers are abundant, recyclable and biodegradable plant derived materials. Besides, thanks to good physical, thermal and mechanical properties, natural fibers become promising alternative for composites. This review includes information about natural fiber reinforced composites’ components, manufacturing methods, mechanical properties and applications.

AbstractExfoliated polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposites and chopped glass fiber reinforced composites were prepared by a melt compounding process using maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (PP-g-MAH). The effect of fillers on morphological and rheological properties in melt mixing of polypropylene matrix with compatibilizer was investigated and compared with various measurements. It was observed that polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposites exhibited remarkable reinforcement compared with the conventional composites filled with glass fibers which were dispersed at micrometer scale. The nanocomposites had larger storage modulus at low frequency region and outstanding strain hardening behavior than those of pure polypropylene or glass fiber reinforced composites. It was shown that glass fiber reinforced composites had lower elastic properties and steady state elongational viscosities than pure polypropylene melt. Contrary to glass fiber reinforced composites, it was confirmed that 3-dimensional network structure due to strong intermolecular bonding between polypropylene matrix and layered silicates affected particular rheological properties of nanocomposites.

Mechanical strength of carbon fiber reinforced composites made of thermoplastic-thermosetting polymer matrix reinforced by carbon fibers has been determined. High mechanical strength has been revealed in tensile and compression tests both along and across the fibers. Specificity of fracturing in fiber-thermoplastics-thermosetting composition has been revealed. The effect of fiber bundling type on fracturing has been addressed.

Abstract Background Enormous improvements in dental materials’ manufacturing for the aim of producing durable dental materials without compromising the aesthetic properties were developed. One of the approaches that fulfill this aim is the use of reinforcing glass fibers as fillers into dental materials, typically resin polymers, in order to obtain glass fiber-reinforced composites. Glass fiber-reinforced composite offered many advantages to the dental materials though some limitations were recorded in many literature. Methods In this review, a study of the glass fibers’ types, factors affecting the properties and the properties of glass fibers reinforced materials was carried out; in addition, research papers that experimentally studied their applications in dentistry were presented. Conclusion The success of glass fibers reinforced composites in dentistry depends on glass fibers’ composition, orientation, distribution, amount, length and adhesion; these factors once employed according to the required clinical situation would provide the essential reinforcement to the dental restorations and appliances.
