Physico-Mechanical Characterization of Composite Materials Based on Date Palm Tree Fibers

ABSTRACT

The aim of this research is to characterize physico-mechanically fibers extracted from different parts of a palm; This characterization shows that the physico-mechanical properties of this kind of fibers are different from one to another depending on the part from which the tested fiber was extracted. Furthermore, we performed the physico-mechanical characterization of a composite material based on these fibers and matrix Epoxy. Tensile strength tests carried out for composites with different fiber percentages (4, 7, 10 and 15%) reveal that there is an improvement in the mechanical properties of the virgin resin proportional to the fiber mass ratio up to 10%; while a degradation of these properties is observed for a fiber mass ratio of 15%. The rate of 10% corresponds to the highest value of composite modulus of elasticity with an increase of 73% compared to the virgin resin. The results of mechanical and thermo-gravimetric analysis obtained are used to valorize these fibers for possible industrial applications such as thermal insulation.

摘要

本研究的目的是对从棕榈树不同部位提取的物理机械纤维进行表征这种表征表明，这种纤维的物理机械性能因被测纤维提取部位的不同而不同. 预计起飞时间. 此外，我们还对一种以纤维和环氧树脂为基体的复合材料进行了物理力学性能表征. 对具有不同纤维百分比（4%、7%、10%和15%）的复合材料进行的拉伸强度试验表明，与纤维质量比高达10%成比例的原始树脂的机械性能有所改善，而对纤维而言，观察到这些性能的退化.质量比为15%. 10%的比例对应于复合弹性模量的最高值，比原始树脂增加73%. 所获得的机械和热重分析结果可用于对这些纤维进行估值，以用于隔热等可能的工业应用.
