In this study, the impregnated fibre bundle test, a common method used by carbon and glass manufacturers to determine properties of fibres in composites, was adapted for natural validated round robin test on one type fibres, namely flax fibres. Five European laboratories have carried out parallel same batch hackled (long fibres), check applicability reliability modified The results were compared more traditional single elementary back-calculated stiffness shows very low scatter between five...
Hemp is a sustainable and environmental friendly crop that can provide valuable raw materials to large number of industrial applications. Traditionally harvested at full flowering for textile destinations, nowadays hemp mainly seed maturity dual-purpose applications has great potential as multipurpose crop. However, the European fibre market stagnating if compared growing seeds phytocannabinoids. To support growth market, agronomic techniques well genotypes post-harvest processing should be...
Fibre reinforced composites have excellent specific properties and are widely sought after by engineers seeking to reduce mass. However, end of life disposal is a significant problem so research into more sustainable natural fibre extremely topical. This paper examines the applicability for high performance structural applications. Woven flax regenerated cellulose (Cordenka) textiles were pre-impregnated with commercially available epoxy resins consolidated test laminates in an autoclave...
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a bast-fiber crop well-known for the great potential to produce sustainable fibers. Nevertheless, hemp fiber quality complex trait, and little known about phenotypic variability heritability of traits in hemp. The aim this study gain insights into within germplasm estimate genetic components, environmental genotype-by-environment (G×E) interactions on To investigate these parameters, panel 123 accessions was phenotyped 28 relevant at three locations Europe,...
Given the vast amount of available research in area natural fibre composites, a significant step forward development next-generation plant fibre-based products would be to devise framework for rational design. The authors use top-down approach, starting with an example final product define specifications high-performance hemp fibre-reinforced composites. Thereafter, all process steps are critically analysed: from textile preform and reinforcement yarn production, extraction agricultural...
In this research the adhesion and resulting interfacial shear strength (IFFS) between natural fibres flax, hemp cotton polymer matrices polypropylene with coupling agent (MAPP) polylactide acid (PLA) was surveyed single fibre fragmentation test (SFFT). The MAPP good enough to produce fragments, whereas PLA flax too weak transmit tension for cracks which is clearly visible on SEM-photographs. Comparing IFFS values of in an equal diameter shows that value highest 7.09 N/mm2 followed by 6.13...
This research aims to enhance fibre-matrix adhesion in bio-based fibre-reinforced polyolefins without using promoters. The primary focus is establish a cross-linking mechanism between cellulose fibres and polyethylene by applying UV irradiation UV-transparent matrix UV-absorbing fibres. influence of treatment on the composite properties evaluated tensile, interfacial interlaminar shear strength tests. decreases critical fragment length single fibre fragmentation tests, indicating an improved...
This study conducts a meta-analysis of over 1000 abstracts to examine the use and consistency terminology in biomimetics, bioinspiration, biomimicry, bionics, focusing on how these terms impact biological design. Despite increasing research areas, ambiguous definitions key complicate design interdisciplinary collaboration. The primary aim this work is analyse studies fields are conceptualised evaluated, particularly concerning inconsistent terminology. By identifying discrepancies term...
