In recent years, the use of natural fiber as reinforcement in polymer composites to replace synthetic fiber such as glass fiber is receiving increasing attention. Because of increasing usage according to the high demand, the cost of thermoplastic has increased rapidly over the past decades. We used a thermoplastic polymer(polypropylene) as the matrix and a lignocellulosic material(rice-husk flour) as the reinforcement filler to prepare a particle-reinforced composite to examine the possibility of using lignocellulosic material as reinforcement filler and to determine data of test results for physical, mechanical and morphological properties of the composite according to the reinforcement filler content in respect to thermoplastic polymer, In this study, PLA/PP rice-husk fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites that made by the hot press molding method according to appropriate manufacturing process was evaluated as mechanical properties.

섬유강화 열가소성수지 복합재료는 열경화성수지 복합재료의 강도 수준에 근접할 뿐만 아니라 열경화성수지 복합재료의 취약점으로 지적되고 있는 생산성, 리사이클, 내충격성 등이 우수하다. 일방향 섬유강화 복합재료의 강도계산을 위한 연구와 섬유배향상태를 측정하여 정량적으로 나타낼 수 있도록 연구하여 발표하였으나, 섬유함유율에 따른 섬유배향상태와 복합재료의 기계적 성질을 예측을 할 수 있는 데이터베이스 구축은 되어있지 않으므로 이에 대한 체계적인 연구가 필요하다 본 연구에서는 섬유함유율에 따른 섬유배향상태를 변화시켜 섬유강화 열가소성수지 복합판재를 제작한 후, 섬유함유율 및 섬유배향상태가 복합판재의 인장강도에 어떠한 영향을 주는지에 대해서 고찰하였다. 섬유강화 열경화성수지 복합재료의 $0^{\circ}$ 방향에서 인장강도 비는 등방성에서 이방성으로 갈수록 섬유배향함수와 섬유함유율에 관계없이 일정하게 나타났으나, $90^{\circ}$ 방향에서 인장강도 비는 인장 하중이 강화섬유 길이방향의 수직방향으로 작용했을 때 섬유필라멘트 분리에 의해 감소하였다.

Composite materials are created by combining two or more component to achieve desired properties which could not be obtained with the separate components. The use of reinforcing fillers, which can reduce material costs and improve certain properties, is increasing in thermoplastic polymer composites. Currently, various inorganic fillers such as talc, mica, clay, glass fiber and calcium carbonate are being incorporated into thermoplastic composites. Nevertheless, lignocellulose fibers have drawn attention due to their abundant availability, low cost and renewable nature. In recent, interest has grown in composites made from lignocellulose fiber in thermoplastic polymer matrices, particularly for low cost/high volume applications. In addition to high specific properties, lignocellulose fibers offer a number of benefits for lignocellulose fiber/thermoplastic polymer composites. These include low hardness, which minimize abrasion of the equipment during processing, relatively low density, biodegradability, and low cost on a unit-volume basis. In spite of the advantage mentioned above, the use of lignocellulose fibers in thermoplastic polymer composites has been plagued by difficulties in obtaining good dispersion and strong interfacial adhesion because lignocellulose fiber is hydrophilic and thermoplastic polymer is hydrophobic. The application of lignocellulose fibers as reinforcements in composite materials requires, just as for glass-fiber reinforced composites, a strong adhesion between the fiber and the matrix regardless of whether a traditional polymer matrix, a biodegradable polymer matrix or cement is used. Further this article gives a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites. Coupling agents in lignocellulose fiber and polymer composites play a very important role in improving the compatibility and adhesion between polar lignocellulose fiber and non-polar polymeric matrices. In this article, we also review various kinds of coupling agent and interfacial mechanism or phenomena between lignocellulose fiber and thermoplastic polymer.

Recently fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites have attracted great interest from industry and study because they offer unique properties such as high strength, modulus, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, and damping reduction which are difficult to obtain in single-component materials. The demand for plastics is steadily increasing not only in household goods, packaging materials, but also in high-performance engineering plastic and recycling. As a result, the technology of recycling plastic is also attracting attention. In particular, many paper have studied recycling systems based on recycled thermoplastics. In this paper, properties of Glass Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic(GFRTP) materials were evaluated using recycled PET for injection molding bicycle frame. The effect on thermal and mechanical properties of recycled PET reinforced glass chop fiber according to fiber cross section and fiber content ratio were studied. And it was compared void volume and torque energy by glass fiber cross section, which is round section and flat section. Mechanical characteristics of resulting in GF/rPET has been increased by increasing fiber contents, than above a certain level did not longer increased. And mechanical properties of flat glass fiber reinforced rPET with low void volume were most excellent.

탄소섬유 강화 열가소성 수지 복합재료(Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites; CFRTPs)의 물성은 다양한 요인들에 영향을 받는다. 그 중에서도 탄소섬유 표면에 Sizing되어 있는 에폭시(Epoxy) 층은 열가소성 수지와 상호 작용(Interaction)이 없어 매우 취약한 계면을 형성하며, 열가소성 수지의 높은 용융 점도(Melting viscosity)는 탄소섬유 다발(Bundle) 사이로 함침(Impregnation)이 어려워 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료 내부에 기공(Void)를 형성한다. 이와 같이 탄소섬유와 열가소성 수지 간의 낮은 계면전단강도(Interfacial shear strength)은 탄소섬유강화 열가소성 복합재료(Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites; CFRTPs)의 기계적 물성을 저하시키는 가장 중요한 요인 중 하나이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 열가소성 수지와의 상호작용이 없는 탄소섬유 표면의 에폭시 층을 열풍을 통해 제거하고, 열가소성 수지의 점도를 낮춰 함침도를 향상시키기 위해서 용액형 열가소성 수지를 제조하여 탄소섬유 표면에 Sizing 처리 함으로써 CFRTPs의 물성을 향상시켰다. CFRTPs의 층간전단강도(Interlaminar shear strength; ILSS) 및 굽힘 강도(Flexural strength)를 통해 이를 검증하였으며, 수지의 함침도는 기공률(Void content)의 계산을 통해 분석하였다.

Characteristics of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic sheet depend on the quantity and shape of fibers. During a molding process of composites, the fiber-maxtrix separation and fober orientation are caused by the flow during the molding process. As a result, the product tends to be nonhomogeneous and anisotropic. Hence, it is very important to clarify the relations between separation-orientation and molding conditions. The correlation between the separation and the orientation have to be clarified for designing the fiber structure. In this paper, the degree of nonhomogeneity which is a measure of the separation is obtained using one-dimensional rectangular shaped part compression molding. And the orientation function is defined and measured by the image processing using soft X-rayed photograph and image scammer. Correlation between the degree of nonhomogeneity and the orientation function is discussed.

The Compression molding process is widely used in the automotive industry to produce parts that are large, thin, light-weight, strong and stiff. Compression molded parts are formed by squeezing a glass fiber reinforced polypropylene sheet, known a glass mat thermoplastic(GMT), between two heated cavity surfaces. In this study, the anisotropic viscosity of the Unidirectional Fiber-Reinforced Plastic Composites is measured using the parallel plastometer and the composites is treated as an incompressible Newtonian fluid. The effects of molding parameter and fiber contents ratio on longitudinal/transverse viscosity are also discussed.

Carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials have been widely used in various industrial fields because the design variables can be adjusted according to the application of the required structure. Thermosetting and thermoplastic resins are used as the base materials of CFRP composites for the lightweight construction of automotive components. Thermoplastics have several advantages such as no curing and recyclability compared to thermosetting resin. In this study, CFRP composites were made using the Long-Fiber Thermoplastic-Direct (LFT-D) process. The LFT-D process includes an in-line production system that directly impregnates a thermoplastic resin, extrudes the composite material, and molds it. This process increases the strength and decreases the molding time. The tensile strength characteristics on the mechanical properties of CFRP were analyzed according to the parameters of LFT-D based on thermoplastics. To analyze the properties of CFRP, the specimens were prepared based on the tensile test standard ASTM 3039 of composite materials.
