CHARACTERIZATION OF COMPOSITE CONTAINING LDPE ( LOW DENSITY POLY ETHYLENE) AND MODIFIED PINEAPPLE LEAF FIBER. Pineapple leaf fiber could be used as a reinforcing material in natural fiber composites production with a synthetic polymer matrix. The typical problem in this process was the weak bond between the fiber component and the matrix. This study aimed to improve the bonds strength between pineapple leaf fibers and the polymer matrix of LDPE (Low Density Poly Ethylene) by modifying pineapple leaf fibers. The modification of pineapple leaf fibers was carried out through an enzymatic process using the xylanase enzyme. A modified fiber was then used as a fiber component in the composite using a commercial LDPE plastic matrix. Composites were made by the sandwich method using a hotpress machine at a temperature of 130 °C for 10 minutes. The evaluation of the composites were carried out by testing the tensile strength properties using the Tensolab tool and thermal properties using the TGA (Thermal Gravimetry Analysis) instrument. The results of the mechanical properties test of the composite showed the modified pineapple leaf fiber-based composite had a better tensile strength (34.3 MPa) than the untreated pineapple leaf fiber-based composite (30.2 MPa). The results of the thermal properties test showed the decreasing of the mass occurred at temperature of 300-350 °C due to degradation of the fiber,and it completely degraded at temperature of 450 °C.

In this work, the mechanical and thermal properties of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF)/poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composites were studied. Pineapple leaf fibers were pretreated with 4 %wt sodium hydroxide solution followed by various silane solutions i.e. γ-(aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane (APS), γ-methacrylate propyl trimethoxy (A174) and bis [3-(triethoxysilyl) propyl] tetrasulfide (Si69). FTIR results show a significant functional groups of C=O and C=C of methacrylic group, NH2group and Si-O which are the characteristic of these silane coupling agents. SEM micrographs of pretreated PALF showed a rough surface while untreated and silane treated PALF revealed less roughness. It was found that the tensile strength at break of PLA is 56 MPa and tensile strength of composites decreased when fiber content increased. The tensile modulus of silane treated PALF composites were higher than PLA, whereas their impact strength were similar to PLA. Si69 treated PALF showed lower impact strength compared to the others silanes treated fiber which indicates more phase separation between fiber and matrix. This is related to high percentage of crystallinity of composite from Si69 treated fiber. It was also found that the addition of PALF did not change the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of PLA while the percentage of crystallinity increases as the fiber content increased. In addition WAXS study of composite from Si69 treated fiber reveals sharp crystalline peaks of PLA while the others silane treatments show amorphous characteristic of PLA.

This article explores the extraction and characterization of natural fiber from the agro-waste of Lagenaria siceraria (LS)plant stem (commonly known as „bottle guard‟) for the first time. The extracted fiber from the waste stems has highcellulose content (79.91 %) with good tensile strength (257–717 MPa) and thermal stability (withstand up to 339.1°C). Theimmense percentage of crystalline index (92.4%) with the crystalline size (7.2 nm) as well as low density (1.216 g/cm3) ofthe LS fiber renders their possibilit

The Impact

Eco-friendly composites are proposed to substitute commonly available polymers. Currently, wood–plastic composites and natural fiber-reinforced composites are gaining growing recognition in the industry, being mostly on the thermoplastic matrix. However, little data are available about the possibility of producing biocomposites on a silicone matrix. This study focused on assessing selected organic fillers’ impact (ground coffee waste (GCW), walnut shell (WS), brewers’ spent grains (BSG), pistachio shell (PS), and chestnut (CH)) on the physicochemical and mechanical properties of silicone-based materials. Density, hardness, rebound resilience, and static tensile strength of the obtained composites were tested, as well as the effect of accelerated aging under artificial seawater conditions. The results revealed changes in the material’s properties (minimal density changes, hardness variation, overall decreasing resilience, and decreased tensile strength properties). The aging test revealed certain bioactivities of the obtained composites. The degree of material degradation was assessed on the basis of the strength characteristics and visual observation. The investigation carried out indicated the impact of the filler’s type, chemical composition, and grain size on the obtained materials’ properties and shed light on the possibility of acquiring ecological silicone-based materials.

AbstractThis study deals with the determination of new natural fibers extracted from the Corypha taliera fruit (CTF) and its characteristics were reported for the potential alternative of harmful synthetic fiber. The physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, and morphological characteristics were investigated for CTF fibers. X-ray diffraction and chemical composition characterization ensured a higher amount of cellulose (55.1 wt%) content and crystallinity (62.5%) in the CTF fiber. The FTIR analysis ensured the different functional groups of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin present in the fiber. The Scherrer’s equation was used to determine crystallite size 1.45 nm. The mean diameter, specific density, and linear density of the CTF fiber were found (average) 131 μm, 0.86 g/cc, and 43 Tex, respectively. The maximum tensile strength was obtained 53.55 MPa for GL 20 mm and Young’s modulus 572.21 MPa for GL 30 mm. The required energy at break was recorded during the tensile strength experiment from the tensile strength tester and the average values for GL 20 mm and GL 30 mm are 0.05381 J and 0.08968 J, respectively. The thermal analysis ensured the thermal sustainability of CTF fiber up to 230 °C. Entirely the aforementioned outcomes ensured that the new CTF fiber is the expected reinforcement to the fiber-reinforced composite materials.

The possibilities of applications of vibrational spectroscopy techniques (Raman spectroscopy) in the analysis and characterization of polymers are more and more used and accurate. In this paper, our purpose is to characterize Low Density Poly(Ethylene) (LDPE) grades by Raman spectroscopy and in particular with CH2 Raman vibration modes. With temperature measurements, we determine different amorphous and crystalline Raman assignments. From these results and on the basis of the evolution of CH2 bending Raman vibration modes, we develop a phenomenological model in correlation with Differential Scanning Calorimetry and in particular with crystalline lamella thickness determination.

This paper reports the microscopic fracture behavior of natural fiber-reinforced green composites. The acoustic emission (AE) method of nondestructive and real-time testing was applied to detect small-scale energy release phenomena during tensile deformation of the green composites. The unidirectional abaca fiber was embedded in a starch-based biodegradable resin matrix. Two kinds of pre-damaged abaca fibers as well as as-received (i.e. undamaged) fiber were used to examine the effect of the pre-damaged abaca fiber on the overall fracture behavior of the unidirectional green composites. In the case of the green composites reinforced with as-received abaca fiber, both of the tensile strength and fracture strain were relatively high. In the case of the green composites reinforced with pre-damaged abaca fiber, however, showed relatively smaller tensile strength and fracture strain. In addition, a wide range of amplitude AE events were measured during the tensile deformation. This tendency was enhanced in the composites reinforced with heavily damaged abaca fiber. The experimental results showed that the AE activity in the early deformation stage was associated with such the microscopic fracture of pre-damaged abaca fibers.
