Fiber-reinforced polymer composite

Though short fiber-reinforced mbber composites find application in hose, belt, tires, and automotives [57,98,133,164] recent attention has been focused on the suitability of such composites in high-performance applications. One of the most important recent applications of short fiber-mbber composite is as thermal insulators where the material will protect the metallic casing by undergoing a process called ablation, which is described in a broad sense as the sacrificial removal of material to protect stmcrnres subjected to high rates of heat transfer [190]. Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are potential ablative materials because of their high specific heat, low thermal conductivity, and ability of the fiber to retain the char formed during ablation [191-194].

Another approach to exploit the properties of nanocarbons consists in integrating them in standard fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPC). The rationale behind this route is to form a hierarchical composite, with the nanocarbon playing a role at the nanoscale and the macroscopic fiber providing mainly mechanical reinforcement. This strategy typically aims to give FRPCs added functionality, improve their interlaminar properties and increase the fiber surface area. The first two properties are critical for the transport industry, for example, where the replacement of structural metallic... 

Ranby and Shi also studied hyperbranched methacrylated polyesters and their use in photopolymerizations of films and fiber-reinforced polymer composites. The resins were found to have low viscosities and higher curing rates than those of corresponding linear unsaturated polyesters [131-133].

As first described in Section 1.4.2, there are a number of ways of further classifying fiber-matrix composites, such as according to the fiber and matrix type—for example, glass-fiber-reinforced polymer composites (GFRP) or by fiber orientation. In this section, we utilize all of these combinations to describe the mechanical properties of some important fiber-reinforced composites. Again, not all possible combinations are covered, but the principles involved are applicable to most fiber-reinforced composites. We begin with some theoretical aspects of strength and modulus in composites. 

The manufactured 90 mm x 90 mm x 10 mm three-layered B4C/B4C-30wt%SiC tiles were tested as armor [67], The photographs of the experiment set-up of the ballistic test as well as a residual impression in the clay box that was used as one of the criteria in the ballistic performance of laminates are shown in Fig. 7.17. The ballistic penetration tests were performed to evaluate the ballistic performance of the laminates. Depth of penetration tests were used to evaluate the ballistic performance of the composite laminates. In addition, pure B4C monolithic ceramics were used as a standard for the test. Test panels were made using the three-layered B4C/B4C-SiC laminate and B4C monolithic ceramic material as the hard face. While the B4C monolithic tile had 100% of its theoretical density, the three-layered B4C/B4C-30wt%SiC laminates had about 3-4% of porosity. A commonly used Spectra fiber-reinforced polymer composite was used as backing plates. The targets were mounted on clay and the projectile was shot at the target at a specific velocity.

Eulaliopsis binata fiber-reinforced polymer composites are more eco-friendly and cost effective compared to the traditional synthetic fiber-reinforced composites. The aim of the present work was to study the reinforcing potential of the Euiaiiopsis binata fibers in the short fiber form. The mechanical performance of these Euiaiiopsis binata fiber polymer composites was found to be higher than that of the pure polymer. However challenges still exist In further improving the mechanical properties of these composites to make them competitive to their synthetic counterparts.
