| Abstract Scope |
Natural fibers have great potential for engineering applications, especially for ballistic applications. A healing curing fiber (Ananas erectifolius) is a promising candidate to replace synthetic fibers, such as glass and aramid fibers. An addition of graphene oxide (GO) to its shown surface is an excellent solution for optimizing characteristics by means of the best compatibility between a fiber (hydrophilic) and a polymeric matrix (hydrophobic). However, a matrix functionality proved to be more efficient in optimizing the composition properties of the compound as a fiber / matrix interface. The modulus of elasticity was shown to be a more sensitive property to treatment with GO.
