Characterisation of Hemp Fibres Reinforced Composites Using Thermoplastic Polymers as Matrices

Lucia Stelea et al.

Summary: Composite materials with hemp fibers as reinforcing agents and different polymeric matrices were prepared by needle punching and heat pressing. The properties of the composites were analyzed with respect to the hemp/matrix ratio and the nature of the matrix. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the composites were affected by both the hemp/matrix ratio and the nature of the matrix, and the thermal stability of the composites decreased as the amount of hemp increased.

Mechanical properties of oil palm fibre-reinforced polymer composites: a review

M. R. M. Asyraf et al.

Summary: In recent years, the use of natural fibres and biopolymers in many products has gained acceptance due to the serious reduction in petroleum resources and concerns about synthetic plastics. Lignocellulosic fibre polymer biocomposites, particularly those made from oil palm fibres (OPFs), have attracted attention for their wide availability, low carbon emission, and biodegradability. However, the mechanical properties of OPF biocomposites and the factors influencing their performance have not been thoroughly examined.

Improving Polypropylene Matrix Composites Reinforced with Aligned Hemp Fibre Mats Using High Fibre Contents

Tom Sunny et al.

Summary: The main goal of this study was to improve the mechanical performance of polypropylene (PP) matrix composites through high hemp fiber content. Decreasing the overall thickness of fiber mats within the stacking arrangements improved the fiber wetting and therefore enhanced the tensile properties. The strongest composite had a fiber content of about 60 wt% and showed significantly higher tensile strength and Young's modulus compared to the control samples.

Thermal and Mechanical Characterization of Coir Fibre-Reinforced Polypropylene Biocomposites

Mariana Ichim et al.

Summary: This study aimed to produce and characterize biocomposites made of coir fibers as reinforcing material and polypropylene as matrix through thermoforming, analyzing their physical-mechanical properties, thermal stability, and structural changes. Results showed that as the content of coir fibers increased, the strength of the biocomposites decreased, accompanied by a decrease in melting temperature and an increase in thermal stability. The modifications in the structure of the biocomposites were highlighted through ATR-FTIR and SEM analysis by altering the ratio of coir fibers to matrix.
