ABSTRACT

The present study proposes variety ofnovel composites fabricated from Rambans (Agave) fibers and recognizes its physical and mechanical behavior by varying its proportion in the fiber-reinforced polyester resin composite. The physical and mechanical properties of composites are determined . The mechanical properties (hardness, tensile, flexural and impact-resistant) and the scanning electron microscopy for fractured surfaces were analyzed to further characterize the composite surfaces. The maximum tensile strength of the composite is found to be 95.27 MPa with 4.7 Jm−2 impact strength. It is concluded that the above composite composition leads to better mechanical properties, which can be used in many applications in place of conventional natural fibers.

摘要

本研究提出了一种新的复合材料使用兰班 (龙舌兰) 纤维, 并认识到其物理和机械行为, 通过改变其比例的纤维增强聚酯树脂复合材料. 用形态分析法测定了它们的物理力学性能. 对断裂表面的机械性能 (硬度, 拉伸, 弯曲和抗冲击) 和扫描电子显微镜进行了分析, 以进一步表征复合材料表面. 复合材料的最大拉伸强度为95.27mpa, 冲击强度为4.7Jm-2. 结果表明, 上述复合材料具有较高的力学性能, 可替代传统的天然纤维应用于许多领域.
