Abstract

In this study, an investigation on mechanical properties of flax/vinyl ester natural fiber composite was performed as a precedent study on the design of eco-friendly structure using flax/vinyl ester composite. Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding(VARTM) manufacturing method was adopted for manufacturing the flax fiber composite specimen. The mechanical properties of the manufactured flax composites were compared with flax composite data cited from some references. Based on this, the experimental data showed that the flax/vinyl ester composite has some advantages when it is applied to environment-friendly structure.

본 연구에서 아마/비닐에스테르(Flax/vinyl ester)를 적용한 친환경 구조물 설계를 위한 선행 연구로서 아마/비닐 에스테르 자연 섬유 복합재료의 기계적 물성치를 분석하였다. 시편 제작을 위해 VARTM 제작 공법이 적용되었다. 참고문헌에서 제시한 자연 섬유 복합재료의 물성치와 본 연구에서 제작된 시편의 물성치를 비교하였다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 아마/비닐 에스테르 복합재료가 친환경 구조물에 적용하는 것이 유리함을 확인하였다.
