“…These results suggest that utilising polymers with minimal additions of reinforcement can create high strength parts at a fraction of the cost and manufacturing time required for metal AM parts. Using natural fibres such as flax or basalt in combination with PLA also provides options with lower environmental impact [20].…”

Abstract:Additive manufacturing (AM) provides many benefits such as reduced manufacturing lead times, streamlined supply chains, part consolidation, structural optimisation and improved buyto-fly ratios. Barriers to adoption include high material and processing costs, low build rates, isotropic material properties, and variable processing conditions. Currently AM polymer parts are far less expensive to manufacture than AM metal parts, therefore improving the properties of polymer parts is highly desirable. This paper introduces a design methodology used to integrate continuous reinforcement into AM polymer parts with the aim of improving their mechanical properties. The method is validated with the design and testing of three case studies, a pulley housing, hook and universal joint used to demonstrate the applicability of the method for tensile, bending and torsion loading types respectively.Physical testing showed that it was possible to improve the strength of parts by over 4000%,

“…Uporabljajo se v avtomobilski industriji za izdelavo notranjih delov, za ohišja gospodinjskih aparatov, za proizvodnjo predmetov za široko potrošnjo, embalaže in medicinskih pripomočkov. Nadaljnji razvoj lesno-plastičnih kompozitov predstavlja velik potencial, saj omogoča boljšo izkoriščenost razpoložljive lesne biomase ob hkratnem zmanjšanju vplivov na okolje zaradi nadomeš-čanja fosilnih surovin z obnovljivimi (Gurunathan et al, 2015, Zule et al, 2016, Žepič et al, 2016.…”

med predelavo, se zaradi visoke kurilnosti bukovine običajno namenjajo pridobivanju toplotne energije, torej v energetske namene. Na tržišču se pojavljajo v obliki drv, peletov in briketov, ki kot energenti ne dosegajo visoke dodane vrednosti. Iz surovine višje kakovosti je mogoče izdelati številne polizdelke in izdelke z visoko dodano vrednostjo, kar pa terja predvsem učinkovito delovanje gozdno-lesne verige in je podrobneje predstavljeno v prispevkih Kropivšek in Čufar (2015) ter Čufar et al. (2017) in je bilo temeljiteje preučevano v sklopu CRP projekta Racionalna raba lesa listavcev s poudarkom na bukovini. Poleg mehanskih in ostalih (tudi obdelovalnih) lastnosti pa lahko s pridom izkoriščamo tudi kemijsko strukturo bukovine za pridobivanje niza tržno zanimivih spojin (Zule, 2015). S tem se odpira široko področje inovativnih rab bukovine s poudarkom na celovitejši izrabi surovine slabše kakovosti in lesnih ostankov, ob hkratnem zagotavljanju načel krožnega gospodarstva (European Commission, 2017).

“…However, grafting can also be a remedy to this problem. Because of hydrophilicity, natural fibres are not compatible with the hydrophobic resins, which lead to the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the composites [31]. Later, in another work [32], researchers grafted jute fabric with laccase-mediated hydrophobic dodecyl gallate (DG) to ameliorate the compatibility of hydrophilic jute fibre with hydrophobic resin.…”

Abstract Extensive efforts have been made in the last decade for the development of natural fibre composites. This development paved the way for engineers and researchers to come up with natural fibre composites (NFCs) that exhibit better mechanical properties. The present review is based on the mechanical properties of jute, abaca, coconut, kenaf, sisal, and bamboo fibre-reinforced composites. Before selecting any NFC for a particular application, it becomes necessary to understand its compatibility for the same, which can be decided by knowing its mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. This review paper emphasises on the factors influencing the mechanical properties of NFCs like the type of matrix and fibre, interfacial adhesion, and compatibility between matrix and fibre. Efforts are also made to unveil the research gaps from the past literatures, as a result of which it is inferred that there is very limited work published in the field of vibration incorporating potential fillers such as red mud and fly ash with NFCs.
