Effect of Processing Conditions on Flexural Strength Properties of Chicken Feather Fibre (CFF) and Its Hybrid Composites with Polypropylene Resin

ABSTRACT

This study discusses the effect of molding temperature, pressure and time on the final compression-molded hybrid composites with polypropylene resin for its flexural strength. The results of tests conducted to characterize the hybrid composites developed with different proportion of fibers and processing conditions are discussed in this study. When comparing the overall results on the flexural strength of the composites, 25:75 Chicken Feather Fiber (CFF)/Jute composite showed highest flexural strength by keeping minimum temperature, maximum pressure and medium time. The influence of pressure on flexural strength is significant compared to temperature and time. As time increases the flexural strength decreases.

摘要

研究了成型温度、压力和时间对聚丙烯树脂混杂复合材料弯曲强度的影响。本文讨论了不同纤维配比和工艺条件对混杂复合材料性能的影响。在综合比较复合材料弯曲强度的结果时，25：75的鸡毛纤维/黄麻复合材料在保持最小温度、最大压力和中间时间的情况下表现出最高的弯曲强度。压力对弯曲强度的影响与温度和时间相比是显著的。随着时间的增加，抗弯强度降低。
