A systematic study has been carried out to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of jute, bamboo and coir (brown and white) single fibers. The tensile properties (tensile strength, Young’s modulus and strain to failure) were determined by varying span length. Scanning electron microscopic analysis was also carried out to determine the physical properties of fibers in order to correlate with its strength, Young’s modulus and strain to failure. The Young’s modulus and strain to failure were corrected using newly developed equations. The study revealed that with increasing test span length the Young’s modulus increased and tensile strength as well as strain to failure decreased. This is because no extensometer could be used in this test set-up and machine displacement (denoted by α) was used for the modulus determination. It is also attributed that larger span length helps to minimize the machine displacement compared to smaller ones due to the reduced relative effect of slippage in the clamps. Among all fibers, the Young’s modulus of bamboo fiber was the highest. Jute fiber had smoother surface compared to other three examined fibers.  相似文献

1-Ally-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([AMIM]Cl) was successfully synthesized and was used as a green spinning solvent for cellulose. The celluloses of various degrees of polymerization (DP) were dissolved in the [AMIM]Cl to obtain 5 % (w/w) cellulose solutions, which were regenerated to cellulose fibers through wet spinning process. Of three different regenerated cellulose fibers with different DPs, a DP of 2,730 was gave the strongest regenerated fiber without drawing having a tensile strength of 177 MPa and an elongation at break of 9.6 % respectively, indicating that celluloses of higher molecular weight can be entangled and oriented more easily. Also maximum draw ratio of the as-spun fibers increased from 1.2 to 1.7 with increasing degree of polymerization leading to a tensile strength and modulus of 207 MPa and 48 GPa, respectively. Particularly the tensile modulus was substantially higher than those of lyocell and high performance viscose fibers of 20 GPa or less. The higher DP of pristine cellulose was critical in increasing the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break of the as-spun fibers coupled with higher tensile modulus after drawing.  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

The surface topography, tensile properties, and thermal properties of ramie fibers were investigated as reinforcement for fully biodegradable and environmental-friendly ‘green’ composites. SEM micrographs of a longitudinal and cross-sectional view of a single ramie fiber showed a fibrillar structure and rough surface with irregular cross-section, which is considered to provide good interfacial adhesion with polymer resin in composites. An average tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and fracture strain of ramie fibers were measured to be 627 MPa, 31.8 GPa, and 2.7 %, respectively. The specific tensile properties of the ramie fiber calculated per unit density were found to be comparable to those of E-glass fibers. Ramie fibers exhibited good thermal stability after aging up to 160°C with no decrease in tensile strength or Young’s modulus. However, at temperatures higher than 160°C the tensile strength decreased significantly and its fracture behavior was also affected. The moisture content of the ramie fiber was 9.9%. These properties make ramie fibers suitable as reinforcement for ‘green’ composites. Also, the green composites can be fabricated at temperatures up to 160°C without reducing the fiber properties.  相似文献

This paper focuses on the influence of temperature conditions and the clay contents on enhancement of mechanical characterization of polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites. The nanocomposites were prepared using the melt mixing technique in a co-rotating intermeshing twin screw extruder followed by injection moulding. Nanocomposites properties such as impact strength and ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, failure strain, Young’s modulus and toughness are calculated. The addition of clay to PP matrix was showed remarkable enhancement in mechanical properties at the temperature of 25 oC and 120 °C. Nearly 36 % and 160 % increase in the Young’s modulus and about 45 % and 62 % increase in the impact strength were observed at both room temperature (RT) and high temperature (HT), respectively. But, the tensile strength was not affected much. The basal spacing of clay in the composites was measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to assess the surface morphology of the fractured surfaces and dispersion of the nanoclay.  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

This paper presents the influence of the gage length on the kenaf fiber Young’s modulus and the tensile strength characterization. Four different gage lengths of 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm and 25.4 mm are selected in this study and the tensile testing is performed at a quasi-static loading rate of 1 mm/min. The cross-sectional area of the fiber after failure is considered for the stress calculations. Weibull probability distribution is used to characterize the tensile strength of the kenaf fiber. The Weibull parameters are obtained for the two parameter, three parameter and Weibull of Weibull models and the average tensile strength of the fibers are evaluated. The predicted average tensile strength from all the three approaches are in good agreement with the experimental results for the obtained parameters.  相似文献

Biodegradable polymer was prepared as thermoplastic starch (TPS). Due to poor mechanical properties and high water absorption of TPS, thermoplastic rice starch (TPRS) was modified by reinforcing with natural silk protein fibers, as an alternative choice of fiber reinforcement. Different contents and lengths of silk fibers were varied and used as the reinforcement. Internal mixer and compression molding machine were used to mix and shaped the TPRS/silk composites. It was found that stress at maximum load and Young??s modulus of the TPRS/silk composites significantly increased with the incorporation of silk fibers. Water absorption of the TPRS/silk composites was also dropped by the addition of silk fibers. Moreover, thermal degradation temperatures of the TPRS/silk composites shifted to higher temperatures by the inclusion of the silk fibers. Functional group analysis and X-ray diffraction patterns were analyzed by FI-IR and XRD techniques, respectively. Furthermore, color measurement, morphology and biodegradation by soil burial test were carried out for different TPRS/silk composites.  相似文献

We successfully prepared optically transparent silk fibroin-cellulose nanofiber (CN) composite films from solvent casting using a stable CN suspension in an aqueous silk fibroin solution. The transmittance of the silk fibroin composite films was observed by a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The secondary structural change of the silk fibroin caused by the incorporation of CNs was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. A tensile test was carried out to investigate the mechanical properties. The results showed that the composite film exhibited visible-light transmittance of 75 %, and its mechanical strength and Young’s modulus were increased by 44 % and 35 %, respectively, as compared to a neat silk fibroin film.  相似文献

Composites were prepared with 13, 23 30 and 40 % fiber and evaluated the mechanical performance in tensile, flexural and impact. The mechanical properties of these composites were also evaluated function of time at 110 °C thermal exposure. Caroa fibers were characterized by techniques such as thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the best mechanical properties were achieved for composites containing 23 to 30 % fiber. The incorporation of 23 % fiber caroa increased both the modulus of elasticity in the tensile test as the flexural strength and impact, the composite with 30 % fiber caroa showed higher tensile strength. The results show that the tensile and flexural strength of the composite decreased with time of thermal exposure. The thermal aging at 110 °C caused a decrease in tensile properties of the composites.  相似文献

Chemical treatment of natural fibers is a well-defined means of mechanical property improvement in natural fiberreinforced composites. An understanding of mechanical and thermal properties in these media is essential for evaluating heat transfer, thermal degradation, and overall performance of these composites over their product lifetime. However, very little information is available illustrating the effect of such treatment on the thermal properties of kenaf composites. Also, no study to date has reported the thermal conductivity of individual kenaf fibers. This study reports the effects of fiber treatment (in 6 % NaOH) on thermal transport in unidirectionally oriented kenaf-epoxy composites and individual kenaf fibers. The effective thermal conductivities and thermal diffusivities of chemically treated fiber composites show a general increase over untreated fiber composites (0.210 to 0.232 W/m/K at 28 °C, 0.206 to 0.234 W/m/K at 200 °C). This improvement may be attributed to improved interfacial contact between the fibers and epoxy matrix shown in microstructural images after chemical treatment. The thermal conductivity of individual fibers was evaluated at room temperature using two techniques. Results from both techniques showed slight increases after chemical treatment (0.58±0.53 to 1.0±0.13 W/m/K and 1.2±0.54 to 1.6±0.28 W/m/K) but lacked statistical significance. Any improvement in surface crystallinity after chemical treatment does not appear to affect overall fiber thermal conductivity. A better understanding of thermal transport in kenaf fibers and composites enables better estimation of the performance of these composites in different applications. Moreover, the thermal conductivities of individual fibers are useful in understanding the fiber’s contribution to conduction in different fiber reinforcement configurations.  相似文献

A water and dye-free heat treatment method was used to color wool fibers. The heat effect changed wool fibers to different colors from white in a nitrogen atmosphere. The influences of heating temperature and time on the colors of wool were investigated and the mechanical property of colored wool fibers was evaluated. The color strength of wool fibers increased as heat treatment temperature and time increased. The tensile strength retention rate of wool fiber was relatively high (≥90 %) when the heat temperature was below 200 °C. The surface morphologies of wool fibers scarcely changed during the heat treatment. The carbon content of fibers was found to reduce by heat treatment, indicating oxidization of components in the wool fibers in the process of coloration. Heat treatment may provide a water and dye-free approach to color wool and other textile fibers, albeit within a limited color range.  相似文献

An organic polymer electrical interconnect is demonstrated. The ionomer mixture poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS; 1:2.5, w:w) was cast onto silk fibers from a 50:50 (v:v) ethylene glycol solution by a dip-coating process. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results show that Young’s modulus and mechanical strength are maintained during the coating process from acidic solution (pH ∼1). DMA dynamic temperature scans reveal two new thermal transitions once PEDOT:PSS is applied to the silk fiber, and they are assigned to the glass transition temperature (59 °C) and melting point (146 °C) of the ionomer pair. Electrical conductivities of 8.5 S/cm were achieved with four cycles of the dip-coating process, only 10x less than Ag-coated thread control samples. SEM imaging of the PEDOT:PSS-coated fibers show slight texturing to the fibers due to the coating, as well as significant charging in the uncoated samples when compared to PEDOT:PSS-coated samples. The conductive fibers fabricated by this process were successfully applied as electrical interconnects in flexible, fully functional 555 timer circuits stitched into fabric substrates.  相似文献

Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fibers prepared by dry-jet wet spinning processes have a notable response to very brief heat treatment (seconds) under tension. The modulus of the as-spun fiber can be greatly affected by the heat treatment conditions (temperature, tension and duration). The crystallite orientation and the fiber modulus will increase by this short-term heating under tension. The present research reports the heat treatment techniques, devices and its process conditions. It reports in details the structural relationships between the fiber properties which are influenced by the heat treatment process. In particular, focuses deeply on the effect of the crystal orientation changes of the fibers, on the mechanical properties and, also, investigates the thermal degradation steps & behaviours of the heat treated fibers. The heat treated PPTA fibers have a molecular orientation higher than that for the as-spun one.  相似文献

Multi-functional comonomer from pentaerythritol (PE) and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC) was synthesized and used for polymerization of poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) copolymer. PBO copolymer fibers were prepared from PBO copolymers using a dry-jet wet spinning. The tensile strength of PBO copolymer fibers was higher than that of PBO, and showed 42 % increase at 0.5 mol% loading of comonomer. The tensile modulus of PBO copolymer fiber at 0.5 mol% loading showed 192 % increase compared to PBO fiber. The compressive strength of PBO copolymer fiber had values between 0.46 GPa and 0.6 GPa with the comonomer content. 64-114 % increase in compressive strength of PBO copolymer fibers was observed compared to PBO fiber.  相似文献

Fully biodegradable and environment-friendly green composite specimens were made using ramie fibers and soy protein concentrate (SPC) resin. SPC was used as continuous phase resin in green composites. The SPC resin was plasticized with glycerin. Precuring and curing processes for the resin were optimized to obtain required mechanical properties. Unidirectional green composites were prepared by combining 65 % (on weight basis) ramie fibers and SPC resin. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of these composites were significantly higher compared to those of pure SPC resin. Tensile and flexural properties of the composite in the longitudinal direction were moderate and found to be significantly higher than those of three common wood varieties. In the transverse direction, however, their properties were comparable with those of wood specimens. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs of the tensile fracture surfaces of the green composite indicated good interfacial bonding between ramie fibers and SPC resin. Theoretical values for tensile strength and Young’s modulus, calculated using simple rule of mixture were higher than the experimentally obtained values. The main reasons for this discrepancy are loss of fiber alignment, voids and fiber compression due to resin shrinking during curing.  相似文献

In this research, results of an experimental and artificial neural network fuzzy interface system (ANFIS) modeling of operating parameters on tensile strength of the carbon fibers are investigated. To do these experiments, the commercial polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fiber of Polyacryl Iran Corporation (PIC) was used as the precursors. The results show that increasing all of parameters improves tensile strength performance. ANFIS was applied to predict tensile strength of carbon fibers as a function of stabilization temperature at first stage (STFIS), stabilization temperature at second stage (STSS), stabilization temperature at third stage (STTS), stabilization temperature at fourth stage (STFOS), and carbonization temperature (CT). The optimum levels of influential factors, determined for tensile strength are STFIS 200 °C, STSS 225 °C, STTS 240 °C, STFOS 260 °C, CT, and 1400 °C. The modeling results showed that there is an excellent agreement between the experimental data and the predicted values. Furthermore, the fiber process is optimized applying differential evolution (DE) algorithm as an effective and robust optimization method.  相似文献

A series of PU fibrous membranes were fabricated by using electrospinning method. The microstructure of the membranes was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectrum. Their mechanical properties were tested by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and stress-strain behaviors. The solution concentration, the applied voltage and the tip-collector distance had an effect on the crystallinity degree and molecular orientation of PU, the size and distribution of the fiber diameter and the point-bonded structures between the fibers, leading to the change in the microstructure and the mechanical properties of the fibrous membrane. Fibers with a smaller diameter had higher strength but lower ductility. The fibrous membranes indicated the similar stress-strain behaviors, which slopes in the initial stage were low and that in the later stage were high. The initial elastic behavior with the low Young’s modulus were attributed to the network structure of the fibrous membranes and that with the high Young’s modulus was from the electrospun PU fibers.  相似文献

Sponge-gourd (SG) natural fibers obtained from Luffa cylindrica plant were chemically treated separately using alkali (5, 10, and 15 wt%), acetic anhydride (5, 10, and 15 wt%), and benzoyl chloride (5, 10, and 15 wt%). Both untreated and chemically treated SG fibers (SGFs) were subsequently characterized using a field emission scanning electron microscope, a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, an X-ray diffractometer, a universal testing machine, and a thermogravimetric analyzer. Surface analysis by scanning electron microscopy shows that the alkali treatments promote better outer surface layer than other treatments of the SGF with the exposition of inner fibrillar structure, thereby increasing roughness of the fiber surface. Alkali treatment also improves the crystallinity and exhibits new chemical bond formation in the SGF. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus have been analyzed through a two-parameter Weibull distribution model, where a significant increase in mechanical property of benzoylated fibers has been observed. The thermal stability of the modified fibers is also found to increase by acetic anhydride treatment.  相似文献

Sansevieria (genus) cylindrica (species) belongs to Agavaceae family plant fiber first time used as a reinforcing agent in the epoxy system. Fibre extracted from leaves, fairly lesser density, porosity, higher strength to weight ratio (hereafter called SCF) and these fibers were alkali-treated and yet impregnated on the epoxy system using wet hand lay up technique in order to compare with untreated fiber on performance. DMA, TGA, DSC, FTIR, SEM, degradation temperature, flexural and tensile tests were performed for untreated and alkali-treated epoxy composites using different SCF volumes viz. 1 vol.%, 5 vol.%, 7 vol.% and 9 vol.%. Alkali treated fibre were found to have higher initial and final degradation temperatures and flexural and tensile strength. The removal of the amorphous hemi-cellulose on alkali treatment was played an instrumental in improving properties. A 3 °C increase in glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature were recorded respectively and over all treated SCF composites reinforced on the epoxy were shown significant results than untreated. Storage modulus and tan ?? were observed well at 9 vol.% treated SCF while flexural and tensile were increased by 35 and 13 % for SCF treated composites respectively.  相似文献
