섬유강화 복합재료의 사용이 점점 증가함에 따라 구조용 및 내장재 등으로 사용된 수명이 다한 섬유강화 복합재료의 사용후 폐기가 문제가 되고 있다. 특히, 자동차 부품, 건축자재 및 전기절연재 등으로 가장 많이 사용되는 유리섬유 복합재료의 폐기물이 급격히 증가하여 환경 오염문제가 심각해지고 있어서, 환경 친화적인 새로운 복합재료에 대한 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 천연섬유를 이용한 천연섬유/생분해성 수지계 복합소재를 대상으로 환경적합성이 우수하고 자연환경에서 완전한 생분해성을 가지며, 유리 섬유복합재료를 대체할 물성이 우수한 새로운 Biocomposite를 개발하고자 하였다.

Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of environmentally friendly natural fiber reinforced polymer composites plays a very important role in controlling the overall mechanical performance. The IFSS of various Ramie and Kenaf fibers/epoxy composites was evaluated using the combination of micromechanical test and nondestructive acoustic emission (AE) to find out optimal conditions for desirable final performance. Dynamic contact angle was measured for Ramie and Kenaf fibers and correlated the wettability properties with interfacial adhesion. Mechanical properties of Ramie and Kenaf fibers were investigated using single-fiber tensile test and analyzed statistically by both uni-and bimodal Weibull distributions. An influence of clamping effect on a real elongation for both Ramie and Kenaf fibers were evaluated as well. Two different microfailure modes, axial debonding and fibril fracture coming from fiber bundles and single fiber composites (SFC) were observed under tension and compression.

In recent years there has been a growing interest for the use of natural fibers in composite applications due to their low cost, environmental friendliness, and good mechanical properties. The purpose of this study is to determine the characteristic of bending strength on bamboo fiber reinforced polymer composites. The parameters of RTM process depend on the weight ratio of bamboo fiber and resin, the number of bamboo ply and amount of hardening agent. Mechanical properties was investigated for each process factor of polymer composites. Test result shows that bending strength was a maximum(approximately 85MPa) value when composite thickness was 6mm and weight ratio of resin was 13%.

In recent years, the use of natural fiber as reinforcement in polymer composites to replace synthetic fiber such as glass fiber is receiving increasing attention. Because of increasing usage according to the high demand, the cost of thermoplastic has increased rapidly over the past decades. We used a thermoplastic polymer(polypropylene) as the matrix and a lignocellulosic material(rice-husk flour) as the reinforcement filler to prepare a particle-reinforced composite to examine the possibility of using lignocellulosic material as reinforcement filler and to determine data of test results for physical, mechanical and morphological properties of the composite according to the reinforcement filler content in respect to thermoplastic polymer, In this study, PLA/PP rice-husk fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites that made by the hot press molding method according to appropriate manufacturing process was evaluated as mechanical properties.

세계적으로 석유 기반 자원의 고갈에 따른 부족, 기후변화협약 및 환경규제 강화에 의해 세계적으로 바이오소재를 이용하고자 하는 연구와 더불어 유리강화복합재료의 대체물질로 적합한 천연섬유를 보강재로 사용하는 바이오복합재료의 연구 또한 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 최근 새로운 신재생에너지원으로 각광 받고 있는 바이오에너지 중 해조류는 가장 자연친화적이고 생산력이 뛰어난 바이오매스로 알려져 있다. 해조류는 바닷물 속에 녹아 있는 탄소를 흡수할 뿐만 아니라 광합성을 통해서도 탄소를 흡수하면서 성장하기 때문에 탄소흡수원의 역할을 하게 되며, 해조류 바이오에너지를 생산할 경우 화석연료를 대체하여 지구온난화의 주범인 온실가스를 감축하는 기능을 한다. 본 연구에서는 해조류를 이용한 바이오에너지 생산 공정에서 2차적으로 발생하는 부산물을 보강재로 사용한 바이오복합재료의 제조와 제조된 바이오복합재료의 열적 특성 및 동역학적 특성을 분석하였다. 해조류 부산물의 화학적 전처리에 따른 Thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) 분석 결과로 cellulose 함량이 가장 높고 불순물이 적은 황산 처리한 파래를 이용해 파래/Polypropylene(PP) 바이오복합재료를 다양한 보강비율 (20-50wt%)로 압축성형 하였다. 파래/PP 바이오복합재료의 저장탄성률은 파래 함량이 40wt%일 때 4.0 Gpa으로 최대값을 보였으며 이는 PP 매트릭스와 비교했을 때 약 8.1% 향상된 결과이다. 파래/PP 바이오보합재료의 열팽창 특성은 파래 함량이 증가함에 따라 열팽창계수가 낮아지는 경향으로 50wt%일 때 가장 낮은 값을 나타내었으며 이는 PP 매트릭스와 비교했을 때 약 56% 향상된 결과이다. 따라서 비생분해성 고분자에 새로운 신재생 바이오매스인 해조류를 보강재로 사용하여 열적 특성 및 동역학적 특성이 향상된 친환경적인 바이오복합재료의 제조 가능성을 확인하였다.

This paper is concerned with a fracture strength study of composite adhesive lap joints. The tests were carried out on specimen joints manufactured hybrid stacked composites such as the polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer. The main objective of the work was to test the fracture strength using hybrid stacked composites with a polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer. Tensile and peel strength of hybrid stacked composites are tested before appling adhesive bonding. From results, Natural fiber reinforced composites have lower tensile strength than the original polyester. and The load directional orientation and small amount and low thickness of bamboo natural fiber layer have a good effect on the tensile and peel strength of natural fiber reinforced composites. The failure strength of these materials applied adhesive bonding is also affected by fiber orientation and thickness of bamboo natural fiber layer. There for, Fiber orientation of bamboo natural fiber layer have a great effect on the tensile-shear strength of natural fiber reinforced composites including adhesive bonded joints.

Polypropylene (PP), a thermoplastic resin with excellent mechanical, thermal, chemical, and water resistance properties, has been attracting attention due to its economic efficiency and recyclability. However, repeated processing of thermoplastic resins can lead to property degradation, and the point at which quality degradation occurs varies depending on the processing conditions. In this study, we evaluated the performance changes of composite materials with repeated processing by blending PP resin with various additives and conducting extrusion and injection processes repeatedly. In addition, we evaluated the mechanical properties of composite materials to evaluate the effect of MFI value change during repeated processing on fiber impregnation in composite material processing.

The tests were carried out on specimen joints manufactured hybrid stacked joints such as the polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer. The main objective of the work was to test the fracture strength using hybrid fiber composites with a polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer adjacent to the spew fillet of adhesive bonded joints and hybrid stacked joints. The results are presented using tensile-shear strength graph and finite element analysis. The failure mechanisms are discussed in order to explain that spew fillet at the end of the overlap reduces greatly the adhesive shear and effects the tensile-shear strength in hybrid stacked joints.

This paper is concerned with a study on fracture strength of composites in an adhesive single lap joint. The tests were carried out on joint specimens made with hybrid stacked composites consisting of the polyester and bamboo natural fiber layer. The main objective of this work was to evaluate the fracture properties adjacent to adhesive bonded joint of natural fiber reinforced composite specimens. From the results, natural fiber reinforced composites have lower tensile strength than the original polyester. But tensile-shear strength of natural fiber reinforced composites with bamboo layer far from adhesive bond is as high as that of the original polyester adhesive bonded joints. Spew filet at the end of the overlap reduced the stress concentration at the bonded area. Spew fillet and position of bamboo natural fiber layer have a peat effect on the tensile-shear strength of natural fiber reinforced composites including adhesive bonded joints.
