Not Only Delicious: Papaya Bast Fibres in BiocompositesLautenschläger, Thea, Kempe, Andreas, Neinhuis, Christoph, Wagenführ, André, Siwek, Sebastian 01 February 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Previous studies have shown favourable properties for papaya bast fibres, with a Young's modulus of up to 10 GPa and a tensile strength of up to 100 MPa. Because the fibres remain as residues on papaya plantations across the tropics in large quantities, their use in the making of green composites would seem to be worthy of consideration. This study aims to show that such composites can have very suitable mechanical properties, comparable to or even better than the common wood plastic composites (WPCs), and as such, represent a promising raw material for composites and a low-cost alternative to wood.

Triumfetta cordifolia: A Valuable (African) Source for BiocompositesGrosser, Peter, Siegel, Carolin, Neinhuis, Christoph, Lautenschlaeger, Thea 26 April 2019 (has links)
The tradition of using naturally occurring plant fibers is still alive in Africa. In the Uíge province of northern Angola, bast fibers from Triumfetta cordifolia serve as the basis for everyday objects, such as baskets, mats, fishing nets, and traditional clothing. The fibers exhibit a Young’s modulus of 53.4 GPa and average tensile strength of 916.3 MPa, which are comparable to those of commercial kenaf fibers. These values indicate a high potential for use as a reinforcement in biocomposites. Based on this promising mechanical and physical profile of individual fibers, different biocomposites were produced with polylactide (PLA) as a matrix. The obtained composites were analyzed mechanically, physically, and visually. Unidirectionally arranged PLA/33% T. cordifolia composites with continuous fibers showed the highest Young’s modulus (10.79 GPa ± 1.52 GPa) and tensile strength (79.37 MPa ± 14.01 MPa). These composites were comparable to those of PLA/30% hemp composites (10.9 GPa and 82.9 MPa, respectively) and therefore have economic potential.
