NATURAL FIBRE COMPOSITES: A REVIEW ON FLAX FIBRES
Journal Title: Annals of the University of Oradea. Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In the composite industry, generally glass and carbon fibres are most widely used materials because of their high strength to weight ratio. On the other hand, in recent years, the use of natural fibres as reinforcement in composites have shown some esteem due to their properties such as light weight, low cost, recyclability, biodegradability and an increasing requirement for developing sustainable materials. Some of these natural fibres, such as jute, flax is cost-effective and can be much more in demand due to their specific mechanical properties comparable to the glass fibres. This study focuses on natural fibre composites (NFCs) in which polymeric resins are used as matrix materials. NFCs materials have at least one primary component originated from a biological source. Here, fundamentals of NFC materials are presented according to the reinforcement preforms, matrix resins, which are thermosets or thermoplastics, composite manufacturing techniques and characterization. Since NFCs based on renewable resources can provide feasible low-cost structural components and eco-friendly alternatives to conventional structural materials for many applications such as equipment housings, roofing and in large diameter piping. This review is especially carried out in more detail on the flax fibres which are the recently emerged offers for automotive industry. Additionally, fibre/matrix interfaces of these studies are reported.
