Abstract

The demand for natural composite products to make various industrial and commercial products and protect the environment is continuously increasing. In this paper, a hybrid plant fiber composite (HPFC) is produced by a hand lay-up molding method using 64 wt% resin matrix and 36 wt% natural fibers (kenaf, Grewia and human hair). The influences of the weight of the natural fibers on tensile, flexural and impact strengths were investigated by the simplex lattice method. It was revealed that the percentage contribution of kenaf and human hair fibers to tensile strength, flexural and impact strengths is higher than that of Grewia fiber. The optimum weight percentage of fibers is 13.5 wt% kenaf, 15.3 wt% human hair and 7.2 wt% Grewia to produce a HPFC with desirable mechanical properties. The mechanical properties of the HPFC were compared with those of HPFC without human hair. The tensile, flexural, and impact strengths of the HPFC were 17.95%, 11.1% and 19.79% higher than the HPFC without human hair. The predicted optimum HPFC for making commercial products to fulfill consumer demand is recommended.

人发对红麻和绿麻纤维基杂化天然复合材料影响的实验研究

为了制造各种工业和商业产品以及保护环境，人们对天然复合材料的需求不断增加。本文以64 wt%的树脂为基体，36 wt%的天然纤维(红麻、绿麻和人发)为原料，采用手工铺层成型的方法制备了一种杂交植物纤维复合材料(HPFC)。采用单纯形点阵法研究了天然纤维重量对拉伸、弯曲和冲击强度的影响。结果表明，红麻纤维和人发纤维对拉伸强度、弯曲强度和冲击强度的贡献率均高于格蕾维亚纤维。为了生产具有理想机械性能的HPFC，纤维的最佳重量百分比为13.5%的红麻，15.3%的人发和7.2%的格雷威亚。并与不含人毛的HPFC进行了力学性能比较。拉伸强度、弯曲强度和冲击强度分别比未加头发的HPFC高17.95%、11.1%和19.79%。提出了生产满足消费者需求的商业产品的预测最优HPFC。
