Woven Kenaf/Kevlar Hybrid Yarn is the combination of natural and synthetic fibers in the form of thread or yarn. The yarn is weaved to form a fabric type of fiber reinforced material. Then, the fabric is fabricated with epoxy as the resin to form a hybrid composite. For composite fabrication, woven fabric Kenaf/Kevlar hybrid yarn composite was prepared with vacuum bagging hand lay-up method. Woven fabric Kenaf/Kevlar hybrid yarn composite was fabricated with total fiber content of 40 % and 60 % of Epoxy as the matrix. The fiber ratios of Kenaf/Kevlar hybrid yarn were varied in weight fraction of 30/70, 50/50 and 70/30 respectively. The composites of woven fabric Kenaf/Epoxy and woven fabric Kevlar/Epoxy were also fabricated for comparison. The mechanical properties of five (5) samples composites were tested accordingly. Result has shown that of value of strength and modulus woven fabric Kenaf/Kevlar Hybrid Yarn composite was increased when the Kevlar fiber content increased. Therefore, among the hybrid composite samples result showed the woven fabric Kenaf/Kevlar Hybrid Yarn composites with the composition of 30/70 ratio has exhibited the highest energy absorption with 148.8 J which 28 % lower than Kevlar 100 % sample. The finding indicated there is a potential combination of natural fiber with synthetic fiber that can be fabricated as the composite material for the application of high performance product. 相似文献

Natural fibers are largely divided into two categories depending on their origin: plant based and animal based. Plant based
natural jute fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) matrix composites (20 wt% fiber) were fabricated by compression molding.
Bending strength (BS), bending modulus (BM), tensile strength (TS), Young’s modulus (YM), and impact strength (IS) of the
composites were found 44.2 MPa, 2200 MPa, 41.3 MPa, 750 MPa and 12 kJ/m2, respectively. Animal based natural B. mori silk fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) matrix composites (20 wt% fiber) were fabricated in the same way and the mechanical
properties were compared over the silk based composites. TS, YM, BS, BM, IS of silk fiber reinforced polypropylene composites
were found 55.6 MPa, 760 MPa, 57.1 MPa, 3320 MPa and 17 kJ/m2 respectively. Degradation of composites in soil was measured upto twelve weeks. It was found that plant based jute fiber/PP
composite losses its strength more than animal based silk fiber/PP composite for the same period of time. The comparative
study makes it clear that mechanical properties of silk/PP composites are greater than those values of jute/PP composites.
But jute/PP composites are more degradable than silk/PP composites i.e., silk/PP composites retain their strength for a longer
period than jute/PP composites. 相似文献

The aim of the presented research was to study the influence of surface layer material on improvement of impact, dielectric, EMI shielding and sound absorption properties of sandwich composites. The sandwich composite structure consisted of Kevlar or Carbon woven fabric at the surface layer, recycled high loft nonwoven in the center and a mixture of carbon particles/epoxy matrix as a binder to hold the surface layer and core together. The carbon particles were incorporated in epoxy in order to improve failure mechanism and enhance dielectric properties or electromagnetic shielding of sandwich composites. The biggest improvements on impact properties of sandwich composites were obtained when Kevlar fabric was used as surface layer. However, surface layer of carbon fabric was found to provide better dielectric properties and improve EMI shielding of sandwich composites against Kevlar fabric surface layer. 相似文献

This work aims to predict the mechanical properties of woven jute/banana hybrid composite. Woven fabrics are arranged in three layers of different sequence. Resin used in this work is Epoxy LY556 with hardener HY951. Composite specimen are prepared by hand-layup techniques. The effect of layering sequence on the mechanical properties namely tensile, flexural and impact was analysed. It is found that the tensile and flexural strength of hybrid composite (Banana/Jute/Banana) is higher than that of individual composites. Similarly, the impact strength of Jute/Banana/Jute hybrid composite is better than other types of composite. It is found that the moisture absorption of woven banana fiber composite is lesser than the hybrid composite. Fractography study of the fractured specimen is carried out using scanning electron microscope to analyse the fracture behaviour of the hybrid composite. 相似文献

In this paper, the composite reinforced with three dimensional orthogonal woven fabric/epoxy resin was fabricated with vacuum assisted resin transfer model. The tensile behavior in 0° and 90° directions were experimentally executed. The tensile behavior of 3D orthogonal woven composite was numerical simulated based on the unit cell model and compared with the experimental result, the influence of crack damage and stress on fiber, resin and fiber/resin interface was analyzed. The maximum differences between experimental and simulated results are 3.23 % and 7.94 %. The verified model can be used to simulate the other static and dynamic mechanical properties and analyze the influence of the behavior of component material on the mechanical material properties of 3DOWC. 相似文献

Bio-materials have ignited a quest among research fraternity to be used in every possible field of applications like automobile, sports, medical, civil and textile industry. Application spectrum of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites is spreading globally in every field of engineering having structural and tribological applications. The present work investigates the tribological performance of regionally available inexpensive plant based natural fiber reinforced polymer composites. In this work, three different types of natural fibers (jute, hemp, and flax) were reinforced with epoxy matrix to fabricate natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRP) and their hybrid composites (jute/hemp/Epoxy, hemp/flax/epoxy and jute/ hemp/flax/epoxy) using hand-layup technique. Tribological performance of the developed bio-composites were evaluated in terms of frictional characteristics and sliding wear under dry contact condition at different process parameters, such as applied load (10-50 N), sliding speed (1-5 m/s) and sliding distance (1000-2000 m). Experimental results of wear analysis confirmed that incorporation of natural fibers into epoxy polymer matrix significantly improved the wear behavior of the developed NFRP composites in comparison to neat epoxy polymer. Among all the developed composites, jute/epoxy composite achieved the highest coefficient of friction, frictional force and specific wear rate. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) was also analyzed to evaluate the viscoelastic behavior of the developed composites. The surface morphology of samples after wear test was examined by scanning electron microscopy to investigate and propose the possible wear mechanism of the developed composites. 相似文献

A commercially available polyester resin was reinforced with cabuya fibers. The experimental variables were the fiber loading and the length of the fiber. Tensile strength, flexural strength, and the Izod impact resistance were measured for the samples and compared to the polyester resin performance without reinforcement. Mechanical properties of the cabuya fiber reinforced material were also compared with the same resin but reinforced with glass fibers. An increase in fiber load decreases the tensile strength for the cabuya reinforced composite, where a value of 52.6 MPa corresponded to the tensile stress of the resin without reinforcement and a value of 34.5 MPa for the best reinforcement achieved with cabuya. An increase in both fiber load and length increases the Young’s modulus of the cabuya reinforced material, and a maximum value of 2885 MPa was obtained. The Young’s modulus and impact resistance values for the cabuya composite (2885 MPa and 100.87 J/m, respectively) reached higher values than those obtained for non-reinforced polyester material (2639 MPa and 5.82 J/m, respectively), and lower than the glass fiber composite (5526 MPa and 207.46 J/m, respectively); while the tensile and flexural strength obtained for the cabuya composite (34.5 MPa and 32.6 MPa, respectively) were lower than the unreinforced (52.6 MPa and 62.9 MPa, respectively) and glass fiber reinforced polyester (87.3 MPa and 155 MPa, respectively). 相似文献

Different contents of carbon nanotubes were incorporated in an epoxy matrix that was then reinforced with carbon woven fabric and foam to manufacture the carbon woven fabric-foam sandwich composites. The transverse impact characterizations of the sandwich composites were reported. The split Hopkinson pressure bar apparatus were employed to test the transverse impact behaviors. The impact wave signals were recorded and the impact load versus displacement curves and impact damages of the sandwich composites were observed to analyze the energy absorption and the impact damage mechanisms. It was found that the failure area and energy absorption is increased as the increase of impact velocity and decrease of carbon nanotubes content. The main failure modes are foam breakage and the interface delamination between the woven fabric and foam. 相似文献

Present technological development and innovation needs a better class of material that meets all the practical applications along with its environmental friendly nature and economical value. Hybrid natural fiber composites, a sector of natural composites meets these requirements. This paper deals with fabrication, mechanical characterization of a hybrid (Jute+Flax+GFRP) composite and also the comparison of it with the (Jute+GFRP) based composite. These composites are fabricated using hand lay-up technique. The arrangement of hybrid composite is such that a layer of vertically laid flax fiber is flanked between layers of horizontally laid jute fiber. Epoxy resin alongside with HY951 hardener is used as the binding agent throughout the layer. Glass fiber laminates are used on both sides for improving the surface finish and surface hardness. The volumetric fraction is such that one third of total volume is occupied by Jute and Flax fibers. Test results shows that the hybrid natural composite has excellent properties under tensile, flexural loading. At last failure morphology analysis is done using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and the internal structure of the broken specimen is discussed. 相似文献

Denim, a twilled cotton fabric, was used to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The
denim fabric reinforced composites with different numbers of denim layers were fabricated by using a hand layup method. The
impact, tensile, and dynamic mechanical properties of the composites were observed with increasing denim layers to examine
the reinforcing effect of denim fabrics. Numerical analysis was carried out to model the elastic modulus of the composite
by using a commercial software. Three-dimensional geometry of the denim fabric reinforced PLA composite was generated through
a CAD program, and the elastic modulus was calculated by applying uniform deformation on one surface. The impact strength,
tensile strength, and thermal properties of the composites were improved by piling denim fabrics. The denim fabric reinforced
composites exhibited outstanding impact strength due to the retarded crack propagation as well as large energy dissipation.
The 3 layer denim reinforced composite showed best results among all specimens, and its impact strength, tensile strength,
and tensile modulus were measured to be 82 J/m, 75.76 MPa, and 4.65 GPa, respectively. The PLA/denim composites have good
mechanical properties and can substitute traditional composites such as glass fiber or carbon fiber reinforced composites. 相似文献

Sugar palm fiber is one of the most abundant natural fibers used in biocomposites. However, prediction of the mechanical properties of such natural fiber reinforced composites is still challenging. Most of the theoretical modelings are based the micromechanical method. There have been little studies involving statistical approach for prediction of mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced composites. In this study, the tensile properties of short sugar palm fiber-reinforced high impact polystyrene (SPF-HIPS) composites obtained by means of statistical approach were investigated and compared with the experimental observations and with micromechanical models available in the literature. Statistical approach was used to predict the performance of the composite part with different fiber loadings. A two-parameter Weibull distribution function was used to model the fiber length distribution in the composite. For the experimental validation, the composites were prepared by hot compression technique for different fiber loadings (10 %, 20 %, 30 %, 40 % and 50 % by weight). Tensile testing of the composites was carried out according to ASTM D638 to obtain the composites tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Experimental results showed that the tensile strength of the composite reduced due to the addition of sugar palm fibers, whereas the elastic modulus increased by a factor of up to 1.34. The current statistical model predicted the tensile properties of SPF-HIPS composite close to the experimental values. It was found that statistical approach with standard micromechanical models can be used to predict the mechanical properties of sugar palm fiber reinforced HIPS composites. Hence, this study could assist in decisions regarding the design of natural fiber reinforced composite products. 相似文献

The concept of reinforcing soil with natural fibers was originated in ancient times. However, short natural and synthetic fiber soil composites have recently attracted increasing attention in geotechnical engineering for the second time. Consequently in this work, shear behavior of fiber reinforced soil composite was modeled by using force-equilibrium method. The proposed model indicated that fiber percentage, fiber diameter, fiber aspect ratio, Elastic Modulus of fiber, coefficient of friction between fiber and matrix, the thickness of shearing zone and vertical compressive stress determine the shear resistance of a fiber reinforced soil composite. In the next step, a set of laboratory direct shear tests was performed on different samples including both neat soil and fiber reinforced treatments. In order to compare model outputs and experimental results, it was necessary to measure the coefficient of friction between fiber and soil. Therefore, a novel apparatus based on fiber pull-out test was designed to determine the interfacial shear stress between fiber and soil. Since, soil considers as a soft material and its mechanical properties depend on vertical stress, therefore, the Instron Tensile Tester was modified to provide fiber pull-out test through the soil matrix. Consequently, the proposed model adequately predicted shear behavior of fiber reinforced soil composite based on fiber pull-out test results. 相似文献

Chemical treatment is an often-followed route to improve the physical and mechanical properties of natural fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites. In this study, the effect of chemical treatment on physical and mechanical properties of jute fiber reinforced polypropylene (PP) biocomposites with different fiber loading (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%) were investigated. Before being manufactured jute fiber/PP composite, raw jute fiber was chemically treated with succinic anhydride for the chemical reaction with cellulose hydroxyl group of fiber and to increase adhesion and compatibility to the polymer matrix. Jute fiber/PP composites were fabricated using high voltage hot compression technique. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) tests were employed to evaluate the morphological properties of composite. Succinic anhydride underwent a chemical reaction with raw jute fiber which was confirmed through FTIR results. SEM micrographs of the fractured surface area were taken to study the fiber/matrix interface adhesion and compatibility. Reduced fiber agglomeration and improved interfacial bonding was observed under SEM in the case of treated jute fiber/PP composites. The mechanical properties of jute/PP composite in terms of Tensile strength and Young’s modulus was found to be increased with fiber loading up to 15 wt% and decreased at 20 wt%. Conversely, flexural strength and flexural modulus increased with fiber loading up to 10 wt% and start decreasing at 15 wt%. The treated jute/PP composite samples had higher hardness (Rockwell) and lower water absorption value compared to that of the untreated ones. 相似文献

Mechanical properties of chopped carbon fiber (CF) reinforced PC/ABS composites were investigated. Tensile strength and elastic
modulus of the composites were enhanced with increasing CF contents. On the contrary, impact strength of the composite was
decreased with increasing CF fraction. Film insert molding was introduced in order to improve impact strength. Film insert
molded composite specimens have higher impact strength than conventional injection molded composite specimens because inserted
film acted as a cushion to absorb the impact energy. Large warpage which was observed after molding and known as a disadvantage
of the film insert molded part can be prevented by controlling the amount of filled CFs. Therefore, fiber reinforcement and
film insert molding can be applied simultaneously to reduce warpage of the film insert molded part and enhance impact strength
of the CF reinforced composite. 相似文献

For marine structural applications which poses significant challenges to the choice of materials due to presence of corrosive seawater, polymer matrix based fiber reinforced composites are increasingly becoming the material of choice. However the performance properties of composites are greatly influenced by the moisture absorbed by the composite. In the current study, the long term performance is assessed by determining the amount of moisture absorbed and the reduction of mechanical properties over 12 months in a simulated sea-water environment at different temperatures. Three commonly used thermoset resins with different chemistry such as unsaturated polyester (USP), epoxy resin (EP) and vinylester (VE) are chosen. The effect of fiber reinforcement on the long term performance is investigated. A suitable method for manufacturing glass reinforced composite with good interfacial bonding and high volume fraction is also developed in current study. It is observed that vinylester plaques and composites absorb lesser moisture compared to USP and Epoxy systems resulting in lesser reduction in flexural strength and making the best performing among polymers studied. It is also found that sea-water diffusion into the composite follows non-Fickian behaviour and diffusion relaxation model fits well with the experimental data and corresponding model parameters are evaluated. 相似文献

Maize stalk has become one of the major sources of fibers from the agricultural residues. Use of these fibers as a reinforcement in the polymer is described in this paper. The present work is focused on establishing the properties such as physical, chemical, morphological structure and thermal properties of maize stalk fiber using different characterization techniques. Simple hand layup method was followed for processing the composite material. Chemical treatments of fibers were carried out to study the interaction of fibers with the matrix. The results revealed that maize fibers can also be used as a traditional fiber as reinforcement in a natural fiber reinforced composite materials. 相似文献

Enhancement of the mechanical and vibrational properties of glass/polyester composites was aimed via matrix modification technique.
To achieve this, unsaturated polyester was modified by incorporation of oligomeric siloxane in the concentration range of
1–3 wt%. Modified matrix composites reinforced with woven roving glass fabric were compared with untreated glass/polyester
in terms of mechanical and interlaminar properties by conducting tensile, flexure, and short-beam shear tests. It was found
that after incorporation of 3 % oligomeric siloxane into the polyester matrix, the tensile, flexural, and interlaminar shear
strength (ILSS) values of the resulting composite increased by 16, 15, and 75 %, respectively. The increases in ILSS as well
as in tensile and flexural properties were considered to be an indication of better fiber/matrix interaction as confirmed
by SEM fractography images. Furthermore, the effect of oligomeric siloxane incorporation on the vibrational properties of
the composites was investigated by experimental modal testing and the natural frequencies of the composites were found to
increase with increasing siloxane concentration. 相似文献

The chemical and morphological properties of ramie fibers treated by chemical surface modification were examined with Fourier
transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The mechanical and thermal decomposition properties were evaluated with respect to
tensile strength, tensile modulus and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Surface morphological changes were investigated with
scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Finally, the capabilities of composites reinforced with various chemically treated fibers
were analyzed by investigating tensile and impact strengths. Additionally, the thermal mechanical properties of the composites
were investigated with thermal mechanical analysis (TMA). Based on the results of these analyses, we concluded that pectin,
lignin and hemicellulose were removed and thermal stability was increased with chemical treatments. The composites reinforced
with ramie fiber showed better properties compared with pure PLA matrix with respect to tensile and impact strengths. The
peroxide-treated fiber composite had the smallest thermal expansion. 相似文献

Composite woven fabric satisfies what people require. Bamboo charcoal (BC) has been identified as a multifunctional material
that has far-infrared ray, anions, deodorization and etc. BC fibers and yarns were made of bamboo charcoal powders and have
further become a pervasive materials used in textile industry. In this study, cotton yarns, stainless steel/cotton (SS/C)
complex yarn, bamboo charcoal/cotton (BC/C) complex yarns were woven into the plain, twill and Dobby composite woven fabrics.
The warp yarn was composed of cotton yarns, and the weft yarn was made up of BC/C and SS/C complex yarns with a picking ratio
of 1:1 and 3:1. Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) film was then attached to the composite woven fabrics, forming the BC/SS/TPU
composite woven fabrics. Tests of electromagnetic shielding effectiveness (EMSE), far-infrared emissivity, anions, water resistance,
and water vapor permeability measured the single-layer, two-layer and four-layer composite woven fabrics, obtaining a far-infrared
emissivity of 0.95 by 39.8 counts per minute, an anion count of 149 amount/cc, an EMSE of −11.87 dB under frequency of 900
MHz, a surface resistivity of 8×10−6 Ω/square, a water resistance of −8219 mmH2O, and water vapor permeability of 989 g/m2·h and 319 g/m2·24 h in accordance with JIS L 1099 A1 and ASTM E96 BW. 相似文献

In this paper, the bending properties of woven carbon/glass and carbon/aramid fabric-reinforced polymer laminates is studied using a combination of experimental analysis and fracture observation. Six types of each hybrid composite were manufactured by lamination of the carbon/aramid fabric and carbon/glass fabric using VARTM. Bending behaviors were fundamentally evaluated for the six types of monolithic composites laminated by the same fabric. The objective was to achieve a good bending strength by effective combination of composite structures using limited amounts of a raw material. It was shown that the bending property was different, depending on the type of fiber, lamination structure, and the number of layers. 相似文献
