Paraffins, PE and metals, such as Pb and Sn, have microhardness values below 100 MPa. Semicrystalline polyoxymethylene, PET, chain-extended PE, poly(ethylene 2,6 naphthalate) and metals, such as Al, Au, Ag, Cu and Pt, have values between 100 and 300 MPa. The microhardness values of carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer composites are about 900 MPa and those for the common metals Zn and Co are 2000 and 4000 MPa, respectively, while for white steel it is 5000 MPa.

One of the most important characteristics of polymer materials is that they are lightweight. The term lightweight construction is often used in connection with so-called lightweight construction materials such as fibre-reinforced polymer composites. These are important because of their high strength at relatively low density. However, conventional construc-... [Pg.420]

Tensile strength is the maximum stress that a material can withstand without tearing apart. It is a measurement of the ability of a material to withstand forces that tend to pull it apart. Tensile strength is measured in unit of force per unit area. Tensile properties of fibre reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) can be determined according to ASTM D638 or according to... [Pg.298]

In the case of natural fibre reinforced polymer composites,in 1996 this material was used for making aeroplane seats and fuel tanks. The last decade has been used widely because of biodegradability and high specific properties. Currently, nanobiofibre composites are also provided for material revolution in technical application which is taking place in the automobile and packaging industrial. [Pg.819]

Therefore, the first and the most important problem is the fibre-matrix adhesion. The role of the matrix in a fibre-reinforced composite is to transfer the load to the stiff fibres through shear stresses at the interface. This process requires a good bond between the polymeric matrix and the fibres. Poor adhesion at the interface means that the full capabilities of the composite cannot be exploited and leaves it vulnerable to environmental attacks that may weaken it, thus reducing its life span. Insufficient adhesion between hydrophobic polymers and hydrophilic fibres result in poor mechanical properties of the natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites. Pre-treatments of the natural fibre can clean the fibre surface. [Pg.676]

Natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites are considered as replacement for metals or carbons in situations where they have better mechanical properties. But the thermal properties of these composites are in general much lower than that of metals. Consequently, it is more difficult to dissipate the heat, and in some situations this can be an important consideration, particularly if electronic components... [Pg.681]
