Abstract:
The content, length, composition, and orientation of the natural fibers as well as the strength of the interfacial region between the matrix and fiber are some of the main factors of the mechanical properties of a plant-based natural fiber-reinforced polymer composite. This communication focused on the influence of fiber geometries such as fiber length and content on the mechanical properties of vinyl ester composites reinforced with fragrant screw pine fibers. Using the hand lay-up method, fragrant screw pine fiber/vinyl ester composites with fiber lengths of 3 mm and 13 mm were developed for the range of 8.43 to 45.3 vol.% by volume fraction. Mechanical tests on composite samples were conducted; the composite’ mechanical properties were evaluated. Increase of fiber content up to 35.57vol.% increases the tensile, flexural, and impact strength of composite; after that, it began to decrease for two cases of fiber length. Fiber content increased from 8.43 to 45.3 vol.% increasing the tensile and flexural modulus values. For all fiber contents, composites with fiber lengths of 13 mm exhibit the highest mechanical properties in comparison to composites having a fiber length of 3 mm. This study found that the optimal fiber content for achieving the best mechanical performance in FSP/vinyl ester composites is 35.57 vol.%.
