A New Developed Environmentally Friendly High
Performance Composite. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Feb 2009, Pages: 220
With increasing concerns about environmental
protection, natural renewable materials become more
and more popular in many applications including a
variety of building products, automotive,
infrastructure, and other industries. Natural fiber
polymer composites have drawn a great deal of
interest in recent years because these materials
posses high potential to achieve great property
improvement. The resulting composite has technical
advantages during production and performs much better
compared to those made with synthetic fibers.
In this book, the design fundamentals of
manufacturing high performance hemp/acrylic
composites were explored. The effects of various
fiber treatments on physical and mechanical
properties of the hemp/acrylic composite were
investigated. A detailed study of some thermo-
physical properties, including density, heat
capacity, and thermal conductivity of the fiber,
resin, and composite were described. A three-
dimensional finite element model was developed to
simulate the heat transfer and cure behavior of a
complex geometry of the composite during
manufacturing and compared with
experimental results.
