Role of Fiber Sizing in Interfacial Relaxation, Water Uptake and Fatigue Properties of Acrylic‐Matrix Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Characterisation of glass fibre reinforced acrylic with acrylic‐tailored or multi‐compatible sizing agents. ABSTRACT Fiber‐reinforced infusible acrylic monomer resins are of interest as recyclable alternatives to epoxy and other thermoset resin composites, but the novelty of these resins causes published studies on acrylic‐matrix composites to often ...

Mechanical properties of flax fiber‐reinforced composites at different relative humidities: Experimental, geometric, and displacement potential function approaches

, 2020
Due to the good mechanical properties, flax fiber-reinforced epoxy composites are being widely used as a green alternative to glass fiber composites. However, plant fibers absorb moisture from the environment, being in a higher moisture uptake as the ...

Characterisation of the transverse thermoelastic properties of natural fibres used in composites

, 2010
To predict the properties of a composite, it is necessary to identify the properties of the constituent materials, especially those of the fibre. Mechanical properties of natural fibres (NF) are anisotropic and cannot be characterised in the same way as ...

Acid Sulfite Pulping of Hemp: Effects of Processing Conditions on Lyocell Pulp Quality

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Industrial hemp is emerging as a promising renewable source for next‐generation textile fibers. This study evaluates whether acid sulfite pulping can produce hemp‐based dissolving pulp suitable for lyocell manufacturing. While the process is historically linked to increased cellulose accessibility, it did not achieve the low lignin content and ...
