Determination of Fiber Size Distributions of Injection Moulded Polypropylene/Natural Fibers Using X‐ray Microtomography
Source abstract
Abstract
Microstructural analysis is of particular importance to understand the mechanical behaviour of short fiber reinforced composites. A non-destructive, high resolution X-ray microtomography (Micro-CT) technique was used to determine length, width and volume distributions of the wood and hemp fibers in polypropylene (PP) based composites. Results show that the use of the MAH-PP coupling agent decreased the fiber breakage in the composite considerably. Noticeable small width distribution and higher aspect ratio were obtained for the carded and enzyme separated hemp fibers.
