This study focuses on determining the optimum tensile strengths of randomly oriented coir/plantain hybrid fiber reinforced polyester resin composites. The control factors of volume fraction, coupling agent and coir/plantain fiber ratio were used in forming the samples. Tensile test was conducted on the samples of Coir/plantain empty fruit bunch (CEFB) hybrid fibers and coir/plantain pseudo stem (CPS) hybrid fibers reinforced polyester resin composites respectively for the optimum tensile strengths. An OKH-600 Digital Display universal Testing Machine was used for conducting tensile tests in order to establish the control factor levels quality characteristics needed to optimize the mechanical properties being investigated. The highest signal-to-noise ratio (S/N ratio) for the quality characteristics was investigated by applying Taguchi robust design technique for the greater-the-better. The optimum values of the control factors were established for CEFB and CPS hybrid fibers reinforced polyester resin composites. The CEFB hybrid fibers reinforced polyester resin composites has the optimum tensile strength of while CPS hybrid fibers reinforced polyester resin composites has the optimum tensile strength of . The control factors contributed greatly to the tensile strength; and the CEFB hybrid fibers reinforced polyester resin composites are less in tension than that of CPS hybrid fiber.

The aim of the work was to investigate for the first time the possibility of modification of disperse mineral fillers (chalk and magnesium hydroxide) deodorizing shoulder straps containing fatty acids obtained by refining sunflower oil for create filled polymer composites. In the study of composites based on PVC found an increase in their tensile strength, strength reaches almost 50 % increases. Accordingly, the relative elongation of these polymer composites increases. Shown to increase toughness with increasing content of modifier, with a greater increase in toughness for chalk than magnesium hydroxide for polyester resin composites. The maximum increase of toughness is more than 50 %. Thermomechanical studies have shown that the heat resistance of composites mainly increases with modified fillers.

To explore the clustering phenomenon of discontinuous fibers in composite materials, this paper deduces the fiber uniform distribution coefficient and analytical expressions of fiber clustering content based on fractal theory and establishes a tensile strength prediction model of fiber/epoxy resin composite materials containing cluster fibers. With basalt fiber/epoxy resin composites (BFRP) as an example, this paper analyzes the tensile strength law of BFRP under fiber clustering effect. The results show that when the fiber volume fraction is constant, the tensile strength of the composite in the presence of agglomerated fibers is only related to the fractal dimension of the circumference and cross-sectional area of the inner fiber agglomerate. The calculated value of the composite tensile strength based on fractal theory is lower than the experimental value, but closer to the experimental value than the approximate method. The research conclusions can provide theoretical support for strength prediction of fiber/epoxy resin composites.

This paper presents the study of the tensile properties of Sansevieria trifasciata – fiber (here after called STF) reinforced polyester composites. The composite sample was fabricated with five different fiber lengths of STF (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 mm). The fabrication was made by hand lay-up technique. Mechanical properties were determined using tensile testing. An interact between fiber and matrix was observed from the SEM (scanning electron microscope) micrographs. The study reveals that the tensile strength increased with fiber length without effecting the elongation at break of the composite.

This work provides a feasibility and effectiveness analysis, through numerical investigation, of metal replacement of primary components with composite material for an executive aircraft wing. In particular, benefits and disadvantages of replacing metal, usually adopted to manufacture this structural component, with composite material are explored. To accomplish this task, a detailed FEM numerical model of the composite aircraft wing was deployed by taking into account process constraints related to Liquid Resin Infusion, which was selected as the preferred manufacturing technique to fabricate the wing. We obtained a geometric and material layup definition for the CFRP components of the wing, which demonstrated that the replacement of the metal elements with composite materials did not affect the structural performance and can guarantee a substantial advantage for the structure in terms of weight reduction when compared to the equivalent metallic configuration, even for existing executive wing configurations.

This paper presents the properties of the wood-resin composites. For improving their antibacterial character, silver nanoparticles were incorporated into their structures. The properties of the obtained materials were analyzed in vitro for their anti-biofilm potency in contact with aerobic Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis; and aerobic Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These pathogens are responsible for various infections, including those associated with healthcare. The effect of silver nanoparticles incorporation on mechanical and thermomechanical properties as well as gloss were investigated for the samples of composites before and after accelerating aging tests. The results show that bacteria can colonize in various wrinkles and cracks on the composites with wood flour but also the surface of the cross-linked unsaturated polyester resin. The addition of nanosilver causes the death of bacteria. It also positively influences mechanical and thermomechanical properties as well as gloss of the resin.

Chopped carbon fiber-reinforced low-density unsaturated polyester resin (CCFR-LDUPR) composite materials with light weight and high mechanical properties were prepared at low temperature and under the synergistic action of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP-II) and cobalt naphthenate. Optimal preparation conditions were obtained through an orthogonal experiment, which were preparation temperature at 58.0 °C, 2.00 parts per hundred of resin (phr) of NH4HCO3, 4.00 phr of chopped carbon fibers (CCFs) in a length of 6.0 mm, 1.25 phr of initiator and 0.08 phr of cobalt naphthenate. CCFR-LDUPR composite sample presented its optimal properties for which the density (ρ) was 0.58 ± 0.02 g·cm−3 and the specific compressive strength (Ps) was 53.56 ± 0.83 MPa·g−1·cm3, which is 38.9% higher than that of chopped glass fiber-reinforced low-density unsaturated polyester resin (CGFR-LDUPR) composite materials. Synergistic effects of initiator and accelerator accelerated the specific polymerization of resin in facile preparation at low temperature. Unique “dimples”, “plate microstructure” and “surface defect” fabricated the specific microstructure of the matrix of CCFR-LDUPR composite samples, which was different from that of cured unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) with “body defect” or that of CGFR-LDUPR with coexistence of “surface defect” and “body defect”.
