Abstract Bioplastics and biocomposites are eco‐friendly alternatives to their petrochemical derived commodity material, but tend have inferior mechanical thermal properties. In this work, short‐fiber self‐reinforced bioplastic composites (SRBCs) been developed that seek overcome some of these shortcomings. The SRBCs leverage melt‐spun drawn poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) fibers with axially‐oriented crystalline structures exhibit a ≈6.7 °C higher melt temperature than the same PHBV in isotropic form. This enables controlled‐temperature compounding process preserves structure without distortion ensures uniform distribution within matrix. resultant display ≈35% increase ultimate tensile strength ≈55% impact resistance compared neat polymer. monolithic‐type composite system, characterized by high interfacial compatibility strong fiber‐matrix adhesion, also supports high‐value recycling while preserving its properties across multiple lifecycle uses. By focusing upon discontinuous short fiber reinforcement, work provides unprecedented opportunities for scaling through application pathways such as injection molding, compression 3D printing.

Next-generation all-organic composites: A sustainable successor to organic–inorganic hybrid materials

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 269, С. 132129 - 132129

Опубликована: Май 7, 2024

This Review presents an overview of all-organic nanocomposites, a sustainable alternative to organic-inorganic hybrids. All-organic nanocomposites contain nanocellulose, nanochitin, and aramid nanofibers as highly rigid reinforcing fillers. They offer superior mechanical properties lightweight characteristics suitable for diverse applications. The discusses various methods preparing the organic nanofillers, including top-down bottom-up approaches. It highlights in situ polymerization preferred method incorporating these nanomaterials into polymer matrices achieve homogeneous filler dispersion, crucial factor realizing desired performance. Furthermore, explores several applications fields food packaging, performance-advantaged plastics, electronic materials. Future research directions-developing production methods, expanding biomedical applications, enhancing resistance against heat, chemicals, radiation permit their use extreme environments-are explored. offers insights potential drive growth while meeting demand high-performance materials across industries.
