Effect of natural filler materials on fiber reinforced hybrid polymer composites: An Overview

ABSTRACT

In past decades researchers found many difficulties while providing environmentally supportive materials for product making. Natural fibers possess many advantages over synthetic fibers such as ease of availability, bio-degradability, low cost, lesser density, minimal health hazards, and eco-friendly in nature. Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are the new innovative class of sustainable materials having good mechanical properties for practical applications. Further to increase the performance of a composites, researchers pointed out that using filler materials essentially increases the mechanical properties and in turn minimizes the organic contents in the composite laminates. This literature outlines the effect of natural fillers on the fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites and also discusses on physical, chemical, thermal, and mechanical properties in terms of XRD, FTIR and SEM characterization. The main motive of this article is to discuss the different combinations of materials along with natural fillers and to assess their suitability for potential engineering applications.

摘要

在过去的几十年里, 研究人员在为产品制造提供环境支持材料时发现了许多困难. 与合成纤维相比, 天然纤维具有易得性, 可生物降解性, 成本低, 密度小, 对人体健康危害小, 生态友好等优点. 天然纤维增强聚合物复合材料是一类具有良好力学性能的新型可持续材料. 为了进一步提高复合材料的性能, 研究人员指出, 使用填充材料本质上提高了复合材料层合板的机械性能, 进而使复合材料层合板中的有机物含量降至最低. 本文概述了天然填料对纤维增强聚合物基复合材料性能的影响, 并用XRD, FTIR和SEM表征了其物理, 化学, 热学和力学性能. 本文的主要目的是讨论材料与天然填料的不同组合, 并评估其在潜在工程应用中的适用性.
