Harakeke fibre as reinforcement in epoxy matrix composites and its hybridisation with hemp fibre
(University of Waikato, 2016)Over the last few decades, due to increasing global awareness of environmental issues, there has been great interest and motivation in research to develop natural fibre composites to replace glass fibre composites in certain ... -
High performance aligned short natural fibre - Epoxy composites
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2016-02-01)Aligned short harakeke fibre (New Zealand flax) mats were produced using dynamic sheet forming, impregnated with epoxy resin, then pressed and cured on a compression moulder to manufacture composite materials. These ... -
The manufacture and mechanical properties of aligned long harakeke fibre reinforced epoxy composites
(2012-07-09)Aligned long harakeke fibre reinforced epoxy composites were prepared using hand lay-up followed by compression moulding. Densities of harakeke fibre and epoxy resin were determined for the purpose of composite design. The ... -
The potential of harakeke fibre as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites including modelling of long harakeke fibre composite strength
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015-05-30)Mechanical properties of aligned long harakeke fibre reinforced epoxy with different fibre contents were evaluated. Addition of fibre was found to enhance tensile properties of epoxy; tensile strength and Young's modulus ... -
A review of recent developments in natural fibre composites and their mechanical performance
(Elsevier, 2015-01-01)Recently, there has been a rapid growth in research and innovation in the natural fibre composite (NFC) area. Interest is warranted due to the advantages of these materials compared to others, such as synthetic fibre ...
