Abstract

Polymer composites are mainly employed as an industrial material because of their chemical and corrosion resistance, especially in mining applications. As a result of the growing demand for biodegradable, ecological, and recyclable materials, organic fibres are widely used as reinforcement in polymer composites in recent years. The challenges arising from polymer composites, like environmental impact, moisture absorption, Thermomechanical property deterioration, lower durability in mining applications are discussed in this review. This work analyses the influence of certain physicochemical modifications on the reinforcement and matrix in polymer composites for mining purpose. This investigation was to understand the effectiveness of physicochemical modifications, specifically cryogenic treatment, on reinforcements and matrix to overcome the above mentioned challenges. This study also highlights the morphological and thermal changes due to the modifications. Results show the effect of these modifications on the composite and its constituents, cryogenic treatment on the organic fibre reinforcements showed increased moisture resistance, higher cellulose composition and mechanical properties, exposing the potential of using organic fibre-reinforced polymer composite in Mining applications.
