“…The authors successfully demonstrated a unique way of fabricating aramid fiber-reinforced PA prepregs for the IM technique. Fabricated composites showed decent tribological properties, which make them suitable for manufacturing components, such as gear wheels, deflection pulleys, etc., subjected to tribological loads [53]. Alumina nanoparticle-filled epoxy matrix and AF (Kevlar 49)-reinforced composite laminates were fabricated using RTM.…”

This review focuses on the fabrication and mechanical characterization of fibrous composites for engineering applications. Fibrous composites are materials composed of two or more distinct phases, with fibers embedded in a matrix. The properties of these materials depend on the properties of both the fibers and the matrix, as well as the way they are combined and fabricated. The various fabrication methods, along with the process parameters, used to manufacture synthetic and natural fibrous composites for engineering applications, including hand lay-up, compression molding, resin transfer molding, additive manufacturing, etc., are discussed. The mechanical characterization of fibrous composites, including their strength, stiffness, and toughness of both synthetic and natural fibrous composites are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of fiber reinforcement are discussed, along with their influence on the resulting mechanical characteristics of the composites. It can be observed that the mechanical properties of fibrous composites can be tailored by controlling various factors, such as the fiber orientation, fiber volume fraction, and matrix type. Although fibrous composites offer significant advantages, several challenges hinder their widespread use in engineering applications. These challenges include high manufacturing costs, limited design guidelines, and difficulties in predicting their mechanical behavior under various loading conditions. Therefore, despite their unique properties, these challenges must be overcome for fibrous composites to realize their full potential as high-performance materials.

Effect of micro‐/nano‐scale aramid fibrillated fibers on the tensile properties of styrene‐butadiene latex

et al. 2020

Micro−/nanofibers attract extensive attention of being used as reinforcing agents in polymer composites. Fibrillated fibers have a hierarchical network structure, and a larger specific surface area. Thus, they provide additional anchorage sites in the composite, enhancing the bonding strength between different constituents. In this work, aramid fibrillated micro−/nanofibers (AFMNs) were prepared by a refining process. Styrene-butadiene latex (SBL) was used as the matrix, and it was mixed with AFMNs, formed AFMN/SBL composites. The mass fractions of AFMNs in the matrix are adjusted to 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%. The microstructure of AFMNs and the fracture surfaces of AFMN/SBL composites were investigated by microscopical techniques. The results showed that the elastic modulus and tensile strength of AFMN/SBL composites are higher than that of the pure styrene-butadiene latex film, except tensile strain. With the increase of fiber content, the elastic modulus and tensile strength of AFMN/SBL composites increased from 5.15 MPa to 19.66 MPa and 2.35 MPa to 4.23 MPa, respectively. However, the tensile strain decreased from 101% to 35%. The calculated elastic modulus of Halpin-Tsai equation is close to the experimental values when the mass fractions of AFMNs is less than 6%.
