Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Composite Made from Hemp and Polylactide

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the research on the structure, short-term compression and tension of hemp fibers composite. The density of hemp fibers composite varied from ~40 to ~96 kg/m3. The mechanical characteristics of such hemp fibers composite mostly depend on the materials structure and density. By the mechanical tests it was determined that compressive stress of the hemp fibers composite depends on the direction of the load to the specimens face (perpendicular, across and parallel to the direction of formation).
