Investigation on Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber Composite Using RTM Manufacturing Method

Abstract:

In this study, an investigation on mechanical properties of flax/vinyl ester natural fiber composite was performed. Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) manufacturing method was adopted for manufacturing the flax fiber composite specimen. The mechanical properties of the manufactured flax composites were compared with flax composite data cited from some references. Based on this, the experimental data showed that the flax/vinyl ester composite has some advantages when it is applied to environment-friendly structure.
