چکیده
Physical, mechanical and dynamic properties of composites produced from coconut fibres using pure water sachet (LDPE) as matrix were evaluated in this study order to assess its suitability for use particleboards. The LDPE (waste sachets) coir/fibre collected, shredded milled into pellets. Five compositions with fibre loading 5, 10, 15, 20, 25%, corresponding 95, 90, 85, 80 75%. A sixth sample 100% was also control. samples heated at 170°C 30 minutes, each melted solution loaded the mixture stirred poured a pre-designed metallic mould, pressed cured air 24 hours. results show that absorption, swelling thickness flaking concentration increased with, while density decreased. bending strength decreased loading, tensile strength, compressive modulus elasticity increasing point before decreasing sharply. analysis storage loss shows temperature these reduced except damping factor which increased. On whole, showed 15% 85% exhibits more desirable compared others. These imply can be used particleboards well areas other applications automobile industries. This will improve on savings foreign exchange mitigate environmental degradation result indiscriminate disposal portable sachets fibres.

Image Characterization of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composites
A new methodology to detect fibres orientation in composite materials, using image processing tools is introduced. Several examples with manufacturing defects are studied using RIMAPS technique and the Variogram method. The characterization is made from digitized images of the samples. Combined use of RIMAPS and Variogram analyses identified the orientation of fibres and determined the values o...
متن کاملProperties of Hemp Fibre Reinforced Concrete Composites
This research is concerned with the mechanical and physical properties of hemp fibre reinforced concrete (HFRC). An experimental program was developed based on the statistical method of fractional factors design. The variables for the experimental study were: 1) mixing method; 2) fibre content by weight; 3) aggregate size; and 4) fibre length. Their effects on the compressive and flexural perfo...

Thermophysical properties such as, effective thermal conductivity (A,,) and effective thermal diffusivity (Xc) of untreated reinforced phenol formaldehyde with different weight per centages of oil-palmfibre (x) are measured simultaneously using the transient plane source (TPS) technique between 80 to 120"C. The composites investigated contain 20, 30 and 50 weight per centage of oil-palm-fibre. ...
