Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composites are emerging as low-cost, lightweight, recyclable, and eco-friendly materials. These are biodegradable and non-abrasive. Due to eco-friendly and biodegradable characteristics of natural fibers, they are being considered as potential candidates to replace the conventional fibers. The chemical, mechanical, and physical properties of natural fibers have distinct features depending upon the cellulose content of the fibers which varies from fiber to fiber. The mechanical properties of composites are influenced mainly by the adhesion between matrix and fibers. Several chemical and physical modification methods of fiber surface were incorporated to improve the tiber-matrix adhesion resulting in the enhancement of mechanical properties of the composites. This paper outlines the works reported on natural tiber reinforced composites with special reference to the type of fibers, polymer matrix, processing techniques, treatment of fibers, and fiber-matrix interface.

천연섬유복합재료는 저비용, 경량, 재생성, 친환경적인 재료로 최근 제조되고 있다. 또한 이들 재료는 생체분해성과 비연마 특성을 갖고 있다. 천연섬유의 친환경적이고 생체분해성으로 인해 천연섬유복합재료는 기존의 섬유를 대체할 잠재적인 대체재로 관심을 받고 있다. 천연섬유의 화학적, 기계적, 물리적 특성은 다양한 섬유의 셀룰로스양에 따라 명확한 특정이 구분되며, 이러한 복합재료의 기계적인 물성치는 기지재와 섬유간의 접착에 의해 주로 영향을 받고 있다. 천연섬유표면의 여러 화학적인 물리적인 개질방법은 섬유와 기지의 접착력 향상에 영향을 주어 결국 복합재료의 기계적인 물성치를 향상시킬 수 있다. 본 논문은 최근 개발되고 있는 천연섬유복합재료의 섬유종류, 고분자기지, 제조기술, 섬유의 처리, 섬유 기지간 계면등에 관한 최근의 연구결과들을 정리하여 소개한 것이다.
