3008 Tensile deformation properties of textile green composites using plain woven fabric of ramie fibers
Details
In recent years, research and development of materials using biomass sources is much expected to construct sustainable society. The so-called green composite (GC) consisting of natural fibers and biodegradable resin, is one of the most promising materials in biomass ones. The purpose of this study is thus to develop a textile GC material using ramie woven fabrics, and clarify its deformation behavior and mechanical properties. Generally, it is said that deformation behavior of textiles is determined by fabric density, crimp angle of yarns, yarn twisting and so on. Therefore, this study focuses on how these parameters affect the deformation behaviors and mechanical properties. The results show that yarns tension occurring in the fabric during weaving affects the tensile strength and Young's modulus, while the fabric density also affects their mechanical properties.
