The reasons for inferior strength and modulus at higher filler content are as follows: (a) poor interfacial adhesion between the hydrophilic natural filler and hydrophobic matrix and (b) agglomeration of fillers causes improper wetting of the resin and produces regions lacking in resin.
However, the Cu particles are acting as reinforcement fillers for flexible PU matrix via enhancing the storage modulus of the composites. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, modulus, and hardness of composites improved as Cu content increased.
Hence, higher filler loading reduced the properties of the composites . According to some researchers, increasing the rice husk (RH) content in the polyester matrix resulted in a drop in the tensile strength up to 20 wt% while the maximum Young’s modulus was obtained at 15 wt% followed by a decline in values with a further increase of RH.
Fillers can be used to improve dimensional stability, mechanical properties, thermal stability, etc. However, the changes in properties of the composites are subjected to various factors such as the filler composition, surface, size, concentration, shape, and dispersion in the matrix.
The minimum and maximum modulus for rigid PU was 771 and 524 MPa at the Cu wt% of 0 and 12, respectively (a reduction of 32% as compared to pure rigid PU). The overall modulus of rigid PU/Cu was higher than any of the flexible/PU composites.
In a similar manner, the effect of filler loading (5–25 wt%) on cellulose-based composites with the agro waste fillers such as STLP , SCBP , TNP , and BPP was also studied. A same kind of trend was also reported that the increase in filler loading enhanced the tensile properties of the biocomposites.
