The Effect of Surface treatment on the Properties of Woven Banana Fabric based Unsaturated Polyester Resin Composites
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to study the effect of silane treatment on woven banana fabric based unsaturated polyester resin composites. The fabric was treated with vinyl triethoxysilane. Woven banana fabric (WBF) reinforced unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) composites were fabricated by hand lay-up technique. The fabric content in the composite was kept constant to 35 %. The variation in the mechanical properties (Tensile and Flexural strength) and water absorption were studied. Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) was utilized to characterize the chemically modified fibers. Reduction in water absorption of silane treated WBF/UPR composite was observed. The improved fiber–matrix interaction after silane treatment is evident from the enhanced tensile and flexural

متن کاملHot Mercerizing of Cotton/Polyester Blend Fabric Effect of Alkali Treatment Temperature on Ttensile Properties , Weight Loss and Shrinkage of Fabric
The presence of defects in cold mercerizing of cotton goods led to the creation of a new method, called hot mercerizing in which caustic soda solution is used at a high temperature. Hot mercerizing is successfully used in cotton blended with some other fibers. In cotton/polyester blend fabrics, this treatment serves a dual purpose: subjectively, it imparts a silklike soft handle to the po...
