Research progress in mechanical property modification of plant fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites
The research progress in recent years on improving the compatibility between plant fibers and unsaturated resins and enhancing the interfacial bonding strength and mechanical properties of plant fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester composites by physical methods,alkali treatment,chemical coupling,grafting,and nanomaterial reinforcement were reviewed.The studies using three-dimensional textile structure technology to prepare plant fiber reinforced unsaturated resin composites to improve their mechanical properties were also introduced.The future research and development directions of plant fiber composite materials were prospected.
