Abstract
En 中文
Biopolymer nanocomposites made of nettle and bamboo fibres reinforced by bio-based hybrid polymer make good alternatives to traditional synthetic composites because of their performance and sustainability. The synergistic benefits in the mechanical behaviour are owed to the complementary nature of nettle fibres, which possess high cellulose content and toughness, and bamboo fibres, which are known to be better in terms of stiffness and dimensional stability. Nanoscale reinforcements include montmorillonite clay and carbon nanotubes are used to further increase interfacial bonding, crack resistance, and multi-length scale multifunctional performance. The literature has shown a tremendous enhancement in tensile strength (up to a few tens of MPa), flexural modulus (even more than 10 GPa), impact resistance, thermal and moisture resistance with the use of an optimum fibre ratio and nanofiller load. Life-cycle analyses have always shown that there is less energy usage and a lesser environmental footprint than that of glass- and carbon-fibre-based composites. This review summarizes the existing information related to material chemistry, processing methods, structure-property relationship, and application prospects with nettle-bamboo hybrid nano-composites. The potential opportunities used in the automotive, construction and in lightweight structural applications showed high mechanical integrity along with environmental sustainability.
