Tipo de material: TextoTextoSeries ; Journal of Natural Fibers, 1(3), p.23-65, 2005Trabajos contenidos:

Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: Natural abundance, much higher strength per unit weight than most inorganic fillers, lower density and their biodegradable nature make natural fillers attractive as reinforcements of engineering polymer systems. However, certain drawbacks such as incompatibility with the hydrophobic polymer matrix, the tendency to form aggregates during processing and poor resistance to moisture greatly reduce the potential of natural fibres to be used as reinforcements in polymers. In this review, the main results presented in literature are summarized, focusing on the processing behaviour and final properties of natural fibres with polymeric matrices (thermoplastics, thermosets and biodegradables)and paying attention to the use of physical and chemical treatments for the improvement of fibre-matrix interaction and composite mechanicaln properties. This work mainly focuses on the use of natural fibres for automotive applications.
