Thermoplastic Natural Fiber Based Composites
Résumé
This chapter is devoted to natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites. First, the various fibers used to prepare thermoplastic-based composites and their main properties are presented and analyzed. The problems to solve (fibers degradation, compatibility with the matrix) are discussed. Then, the methods of preparation of natural fiber-based composites are introduced. As it is the topic of Chapter 2, we focus mainly on the melt compounding by twin-screw extrusion and its specific difficulties: dispersion of the fibers, breakage mechanisms, and thermal degradation. Finally, an overview of the main properties of the natural fiber-based composites is included.
