Study on Biomimetic Composites by Imitating Shell Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

The ethoxy resin-based composite was made by imitating the structure of shell in the paper, and its structure and mechanical properties were studied . The results showed that the mechanical properties of the ethoxy resin-based composite with bamboo fibre and hemp fibre are higher than that of the ethoxy resin-based composite, and higher the toughness. The toughening mechanisms of the bamboo fibre and hemp fibre reinforced ethoxy resin-based composite have crack stagnation, microcrack, interface stripping, fiber extraction an
