A constitutive model was proposed to study the effects of fiber waviness on the elastic properties of unidirectional composite materials. The predictions showed that the degree of fiber waviness significantly affected the elastic properties of composite materials. A special fabrication technique was developed for thic composite materials with various fiber waviness ratios. Tensile, compressive and flexural tests were conducted to obtain the elastic properties of composite materials with fiber waviness experimentally. The experimental result were in good agreement with the predictions.

The effects of chopped kenaf fiber concentration on mechanical property of polypropylene (PP) composite are investigated. The addition of kenaf increased the tensile strength, flexural modulus, impact strength, specific gravity, and HDT, while decreased the elongation%, flexural strength, and melt flow index. The increase of mechanical properties is due to increased surface area contacting between fiber and polymer matrix and fiber-fiber interaction. Volatile extractives in the kenaf seemed to decrease the interfacial adhesion between kenaf surface and PP.

Dyeing and fastness properties of 800nm sea-Island type PET nanofilament fabrics have been investigated. The dye uptake of nanofilament commended at lower temperatures and showed faster rate of dye uptake. The build up and wet fastness propertied of disperse dye on nanofilament were relatively poor since the more dye was needed to achieve a given depth of shade due to the large surface area.

In this work, pellets consisting of cellulose-based natural fiber bamboo and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was prepared by extrusion process and then bamboo fiber/PLA biocomposites with various fiber contents were produced by injection molding process. The water treatment effect of bamboo fibers on the flexural, tensile, and impact properties and heat deflection temperature of the biocomposites were investigated. The thermal stability of bamboo and the flexural properties, tensile modulus, and impact strength depended on the presence and absence of water treatment as well as on the fiber content, whereas the heat deflection temperature are influenced mainly by water treatment. The increase of the mechanical and impact properties of biocomposites is ascribed to the improvement of the interfacial adhesion between the bamboo fibers and the PLA matrix by the water treatment. The result suggests that the pre-treatment of natural fibers by using water, which is environment-friendly and labor-friendly, may contribute to enhancing the performance of biocomposites.

In this study, out-of-plane properties and CTEs were predicted for 8-harness satin weave textile composites. The properties were calculated by unit cell analysis for configurations with varied waviness ratio and phase shifts. Macro elements were employed to reduce the computer resource requirement. It was found that the out-of-plane properties and CTEs were varied as the phase shift changed. However the dependency was much weaker than the in-plane properties.

Fiber waviness is one of manufacturing defects encountered frequently in thick composite structures. It affects significantly on the behavior as well as strength of thick composites. Thick composites with fiber waviness have two kinds of nonliearity. One is material nonlinearity, and the other is geometrical nonliearity due to fiber waviness. There are only a few studies that have considered both material and geometrical nonlinearities. In this paper, a FEA model was proposed to predict nonlinear behavior and strength of thick composites with fiber waviness.

편성물은 신축성이 좋으므로 의류용 소재로써 다양하게 사용되어지고 있다. 편성물의 장점으로는 직물과는 달리 루프 형태로 얽힌 편환으로 구성되어 있기 때문에 제편 과정에서 필요한 형태로의 성형이 용이해서 제품의 다양화를 기대할 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 신축성과 유연성, 다공성, 구김안정성 등이 우수하여 인체의 여러 가지 활동에 따른 구속감이 적으며 인체의 굴곡을 아름답게 나타내어 주는 등의 장점이 있어 의복 소재로써 차지하는 비중이 높다. (중략)

전기방사 탄소섬유와 s-VGCFs는 그 미세구조의 특성 때문에 응용분야가 서로 다르다. 전기방사 탄소나노섬유는 유기물을 섬유화하고 그것을 탄화하기 때문에 VGCFs에 비해서 낮은 가격에 대량생산이 가능하고 촉매를 사용하지 않기 때문에 전극으로 사용할 경우 금속불순물에 대한 부반응의 우려가 없다. 한편, 결정성이 낮고 세공이 잘 발달되어 비표면적이 크기 때문에 이온을 흡착해서 에너지를 저장하는 전기화학 캐패시터나 가스 흡착 분리나 촉매의 지지체로 사용하는데 장점이 있다. 이에 비해서 s-VFCFs는 섬유의 직경이 기존의 VGCF에 비해서 작으면서 잘 발달된 흑연구조가 동심원 구조를 하고 있어 굴곡강도가 크고 열 및 전기전도도가 우수하여 납축전지나 Li 이온전지의 충전제로 사용하여 역학적 특성과 향상시켜 주는 역할을 한다. 또한, 금속과 복합화하여 가벼우면서도 강도를 증가시켜주는 보강재로 사용가능하다.

In this paper, elastic behavior of woven fabric composites with various fiber yarn structure were predicted through a theoretical calculation model. A representative volume elements (RVE) that can represent the mechanical properties of the woven composites were selected and crimp angle of the weave yarn was defined by several sinusoidal functions. The effective material properties of the woven composite such as young's modulus, shear modulus and poisson's ratio was predicted by classical laminate theory (CLT). The fiber volume fractions were calculated according to the shape and pattern (plain, twill weave) of the fiber yarn, and the elastic behavior of each woven composite was obtained through a theoretical calculation model. Also, to verify the theoretical predictions, woven composite specimens of plain and twill weave were fabricated by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process and then mechanical test was conducted. As a results, a good correlation between theoretical and experimental results for the elastic behavior of woven composites could be achieved.
