Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of fibre treatment on wettability and mechanical behaviour of flax/polypropylene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different treatments on the fiber-matrix compatibility in terms of surface energy and mechanical properties of composites were analyzed by Infrared Spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of flax fibre/polypropylene composites. Influence of fibre/matrix modification and glass fibre hybridization
Aitor Arbelaiz,Beatriz Fernández,Guillermo Cantero,Rodrigo Llano-Ponte,A. Valea,Iñaki Mondragon +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of fiber treatments and matrix modification on mechanical properties of flax fibre bundle/polypropylene composites has been investigated and the results suggest that matrix modification led to better mechanical performance than fibre surface modification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flax fiber surface modifications: Effects on fiber physico mechanical and flax/polypropylene interface properties
Aitor Arbelaiz,Guillermo Cantero,Beatriz Fernández,Iñaki Mondragon,Piedad Gañán,Jose Maria Kenny +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface modification on tensile properties of single fibers and also on fiber-matrix interfacial shear strength (IFSS) has been analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A systematic investigation on the influence of the chemical treatment of natural fibers on the properties of their polymer matrix composites
J. Biagiotti,Debora Puglia,Luigi Torre,Jose Maria Kenny,Aitor Arbelaiz,Guillermo Cantero,Cristina Marieta,Rodrigo Llano-Ponte,Iñaki Mondragon +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of fiber treatment on the crystallinity of the matrix were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy, and the mechanical properties of the composites obtained were studied using tensile and bending tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Behavior of Wood/Polypropylene Composites: Effects of Fibre Treatments and Ageing Processes
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of wood treatment on the mechanical properties of composites made with wood flour and polypropylene (WF/PP) were investigated, and two different fiber treatments (mercerization with a 10% NaOH solution and functionalization with Epolene E-43 MAPP copolymer) and two compounding methods have been studied.
