Seawater ageing of infused flax fibre reinforced acrylic composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents results from an experimental study of the mechanical behaviour flax fibre reinforced acrylic composites after immersion in seawater. First, in-plane design data are presented. Then, seawater diffusion kinetics shown, influence on properties is quantified and flexural fatigue performance described. Finally compared with those for glass composites. Seawater saturated specimens show a large drop stiffness (>50%) due to plasticization, but smaller drops strength (<30%). The relevance tests discussed alternative unifacial exposure test recommended these new materials sustainable marine applications.

Chemical Modification of Flax Reinforced Polypropylene Composites
This paper presents an experimental study on the static and dynamic mechanical properties of nonwoven based flax fibre reinforced polypropylene composites. The effect of zein modification on flax fibres is also reported. Flax nonwovens were treated with zein coupling agent, which is a protein extracted from corn. Composites were prepared using nonwovens treated with zein solution. The tensile, ...
متن کاملOverview of Flax Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
Flax fibres are oftenly used for reinforcing thermoplastic to manufacture biocomposite materials exhibiting numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradability. The mechanical properties of a biocomposite material depends on the nature and orientation of the fibres, the nature of the matrix and mainly on the adhesion between fiber and the polymer matrix. The...
متن کاملEffect of Chemical Treatments on Flax Fibre Reinforced Polypropylene Composites on Tensile and Dome Forming Behaviour
Tensile tests were performed on two different natural fibre composites (same constituent material, similar fibre fraction and thickness but different weave structure) to determine changes in mechanical properties caused by various aqueous chemical treatments and whether any permanent changes remain on drying. Scanning electronic microscopic examinations suggested that flax fibres and the flax/p...
متن کاملImage 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...
