Mechanical characterization of a new Kevlar/Flax/epoxy hybrid composite in a sandwich structure

Natural fibers are inexpensive, biodegradable, and have similar specific properties to some synthetic fibers. Hardly any previous investigations exist of a composite made of multiple layers of pure Kevlar fiber fabric and pure Flax fiber fabric in a “sandwich structure”, but it only measured impact properties. The composite was made of 12 Flax/epoxy layers at the core in 3 possible configurations (i.e. [0]_12F, [0/90]_6F, or [±45]_6F) that were sandwiched by 2 Kevlar/epoxy layers (i.e. plain weave) on each side. This study showed maximum change in the mechanical properties with respect to Flax/Epoxy for tension (+137.85% in E_T, and +171.22% in σ_UT), compression (+171.22% in E_c, and −10.6% in σ_UC), 3-point bending (−11.54% in E_B, and +2.19 in σ_UB), torsion (−5.31% in G, and 395.82% in τ), and water absorption (60.04%). This novel hybrid composite may be useful for research and industry applications.

Determination of dynamic properties of flax fibres reinforced laminate using vibration measurements

Experimental and numerical methods to identify the linear viscoelastic properties of flax fibre reinforced polymer (FFRP) composite are presented in this study. The method relies on the evolution of storage modulus and loss factor as observed through the frequency response. Free-free symmetrically guided beams were excited in the dynamic range of 10 Hz to 4 kHz with a swept sine excitation focused around their first modes. A fractional derivative Zener model has been identified to predict the complex moduli. A modified ply constitutive law has been then implemented in a classical laminates theory calculation (CLT) routine. Overall, the Zener model fitted the experimental results well. The storage modulus was not frequency dependant, while the loss factor increased with frequency and reached a maximum value for a fibre orientation of 70°. The damping of FFRP was, respectively, 5 and 2 times higher than for equivalent carbon and glass fibres reinforced epoxy composites.     

A universal kinetic equation for characterising the fractal nature of delignification of lignocellulosic materials

A kinetic model was developed, based on the power law of growth and Avrami’s nuclei growth concepts, to describe the heterogeneous nature of pulping kinetics, taking into account the effects of chemical concentration and temperature. The general form of the kinetic equation is first order with a time-dependent rate coefficient. The model was statistically tested using published data obtained from delignification of lignocellulosic materials (hemp woody core, giant reed, wheat straw, cottonwood, bamboo and flax fibres). The activation energies of the delignification range from 71 to 136 kJ/mol. The p-values obtained from the regression analysis are significantly small indicating that all the estimates of the model parameters were significant with very high levels of confidence. The correlation coefficients R ² for these models range from 0.76 to 0.98.     

Investigating the origin of the raw material of rag paper by Raman spectroscopy

The analysis of a historical document of a registry office from nineteenth century through Raman spectroscopy was performed by comparing with an ensemble of standard samples synthesized from cotton and linen raps. Structural parameters of the fibers of the cellulose, such as crystallinity, chain length, intermolecular interactions and packing, were obtained by the measurement of intensity ratios of some marker features. The results suggested the historical document has a cellulosic support originated from cotton, probably produced without basic pH treatment of the raw material.     

Chemical Modifications on Linen for Unsaturated Polyester Composites

Linen was chemically modified by oleoyl chloride(OC) and stearoyl chloride(SC) to graft fatty moieties onto fiber via ester connections. Pyridine was used as solvent. The reaction was simplified by reacting the compounds in air at 60℃ for 6 h. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and thermal gravimetric analysis were conducted to characterize the treated fiber. The FTIR result confirms that the fatty portions have been successfully grafted onto the fiber after the chemical modification. The thermal stability of the SC-modified linen(SCL) was similar to that of the flax modified by oleoyl chloride(OCL). SCL and OCL demonstrated a temperature of 5% mass loss, which was above 200℃ and could meet the requirements of the processing conditions for most composites. Thereafter, the SCL-reinforced unsaturated polyester(UPE) composites were prepared and characterized. The composite presented a much better impact strength of 61.1 J/m and tensile modulus of 1.69 GPa than those of UPE with applicable thermal stability. SCL has been shown to be a promising choice as reinforcing material for composites.     

Improving Accessibility and Reactivity of Celluloses of Annual Plants for the Synthesis of Methylcellulose

Pretreatments (water-soaking, pre-mercerization, mercerization under a pressure of 15 bars and steam explosion) were used to improve the accessibilities and reactivities of celluloses of bleached flax, hemp, sisal, abaca and jute pulps for the synthesis of methylcellulose. Degrees of crystallinity were determined by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) spectra. The iodine adsorption accessibilities of pulps were low and accessible fractions ranged from 1.3 to 5.2%. Accessible fractions in amorphous cellulose were calculated in the 5–18% range. The accessibilities of these pulps were hemp pulp > flax pulp > sisal pulp > jute pulp > abaca pulp. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra showed that mean hydrogen bond strengths were weakened and relative crystallinity indexes were decreased by pretreatments. The accessibility and reactivity of the abaca pulp were improved by water soaking, mercerization under 15 bars pressure, steam explosion and preliminary mercerization, of which steam explosion and pre-mercerization were the best treatments. Species was the main factor for the accessibility and reactivity.     

Kinetics of water sorption in flax and PET fibers

Composite materials are usually reinforced by synthetic fibers as carbon, glass etc…. Because of their good mechanical properties and low density, natural fibers are being considered more preferentially as reinforcement. The application of natural fibers as reinforcements in composite materials requires a strong adhesion between the fiber and the matrix. The poor resistance towards water absorption is one of the drawbacks of natural fibers which makes it more important to understand the dynamic properties of penetration of water molecules through these heterogeneous materials. Water vapour sorption kinetics in natural flax fibers have been performed at 25 °C by using an electronic microbalance (IGA, Hiden). By using the Fickian model for a complete cylinder water diffusion coefficients have been determined and calculated at short times (first half-sorption) and long times (second half-sorption) of kinetic curve and for different water activities. The values obtained for D₁ and D₂ are rather similar on the all range of water activity. Generally, water diffusivity increases and then decreases with water activity. The increase of diffusivity at low water activities may be explained on the basis of the dual mode sorption (Langmuir and Henry sorption’s combination) whereas the decrease for the higher activities can be attributed to the immobilization of sorbed water molecules due to the water clustering.
