scholarly journals Variation in Heat Deflection Behaviour of Alkali Treated and Untreated Hybrid Fibre Reinforced Composites

Regular Fiber fortified composites discovers place in numerous applications as they have the benefits of being light, solid, modest and progressively ecological well disposed. This investigation planned to decide the impact of antacid treatment on normal fiber and its effect on the warmth diversion conduct of the regular and glass fiber fortified cross breed composites ,in this work two kind of half and half composite are made with glass, sisal and flax fiber ,the crossover strengthened composite covers were manufactured by hand lay-up technique. Examples are cut from the manufactured cover and their warmth diversion conduct was tried by ASTM D648 benchmarks. From the outcome it is comprehended that the basic treatment has improved the warmth avoidance withstanding limit of flax/glass half and half composite and don't have much impact on sisal/glass mixture composite.

The paper evaluated the possibility of potential reinforcing of poly(oxymethylene) (POM) by glass fiber and the influence of fiberglass addition on mechanical properties under dynamic load. Four types of composites with glass fiber and another four with carbon fiber were produced. The fiber content ranged from 5% to 40% by weight. In the experimental part, the basic mechanical and fatigue properties of POM-based composites were determined. The impact of water absorption was also investigated. The influence of fiber geometry on the mechanical behavior of fiber-reinforced composites of various diameters was determined. To refer to the effects of reinforcement and determine the features of the structure scanning electron microscopy images were taken. The results showed that the addition of up to 10 wt %. fiberglass increases the tensile properties and impact strength more than twice, the ability to absorb energy also increases in relation to neat poly(oxymethylene). Fiber geometry also has a significant impact on the mechanical properties. The study of the mechanical properties at dynamic loads over time suggests that composites filled with a smaller fiber diameter have better fatigue properties.

Temperature and moisture can cause degradation to the impact properties of plant fiber-based composites owing to their complex chemical composition and multi-layer microstructure. This study focused on experimental characterization of the effect of important influencing factors, including manufacturing process temperature, exposure temperature, and water absorption, on the impact damage threshold and damage mechanisms of flax fiber reinforced composites. Firstly, serious reduction on the impact damage threshold and damage resistance was observed, this indicated excessive temperature can cause chemical decomposition and structural damage to flax fiber. It was also shown that a moderate high temperature resulted in lower impact damage threshold. Moreover, a small amount of water absorption could slightly improve the damage threshold load and the damage resistance. However, more water uptake caused severe degradation on the composite interface and structural damage of flax fiber, which reduced the impact performance of flax fiber reinforced composites.

The effect of the combined chemical treatment of sisal fibres through the subsequent processes of mercerisation (alkali treatment), then silane treatment and eventually acid hydrolysis, on sisal fibre was investigated. The effect of the treated fibres on the impact toughness and hardness of their composites with epoxy resin was also studied. Scanning electron microscopy of the surfaces of the treated and untreated fibres showed that the chemical treatment processes enhanced the removal of surface impurities and therefore increased the roughness of the surfaces of the fibres. This avails an increased surface area for interlocking with matrix and is, therefore, expected to enhance adhesion of the two. The treated fibre reinforced composites were observed to have higher values of impact toughness and hardness than the untreated fibre reinforced composites. These higher values were attributed to better interfacial bonding due to better mechanical interlocking between the treated fibres and epoxy resin arising from the increased roughness of the treated fibres.
