VARTM制备麻纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料研究

通过对黄麻纤维热处理、碱处理、硅烷偶联剂处理和异氰酸酯处理进行表面改性,并对改性黄麻纤维布进行热压工艺处理,最后采用VARTM成型工艺制备黄麻纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料,并对其性能进行了系统研究.通过扫描电镜(SEM)分析表明,热处理和碱处理的黄麻纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料的界面粘结未得到明显改善,而通过硅烷偶联剂和异氰酸酯处理的黄麻纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料的界面粘结性能得到了显著的提高.将硅烷偶联剂和异氰酸酯处理的黄麻纤维布通过热压处理不仅可以增加复合材料中黄麻纤维体积含量,而且可以提高复合材料的综合性能,复合材料力学性能研究表明,经硅烷偶联剂处理后的黄麻纤维增强复合材料拉伸强度、模量和弯曲强度分别提高了18.6%,71.4%和50.2%.经异氰酸酯处理的黄麻纤维增强复合材料的拉伸强度、模量和弯曲强度分别提高了16.3%,34.0%和50.3%.

Preparation of Jute Fibers Reinforced Epoxy Resin Composites by VARTM

In this research, the jute fibers were first treated with heating, alkali, silane coupling agent and isocyanate respectively, then the jute fibers fabrics were treated with hot pressing process, and finally, the jute fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites were fabricated with VARTM molding process. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis shows that the interface bonding of jute fibers treated with heating and alkali reinforced epoxy resin composites has not been improved, but the interface bonding of composites has been significantly improved with the jute fibers treated with silane coupling agent and isocyanate. The hot-pressing process can not only increase the jute fibers volume content in the composites but also improve the performance of composites by the jute fibers treated in advance with silane coupling agent and isocyanate. The mechanical properties of the composites show that tensile strength, modulus and flexural strength of the jute fiber treated with the silane coupling agent reinforced composite increase by 18.6%, 71.4% and 50.2%, respectively, and the tensile strength, modulus and flexural strength of the jute fiber treated with the isocyanate reinforced composite increase by 16.3%, 34.0% and 50.3%, respectively.
