    Assessing the moisture uptake behavior of natural fibres

    , Interface Engineering of Natural Fibre Composites for Maximum Performance, Pages: 275-288

    Various methods for the determination of moisture uptake and water sorption behaviour of natural fibres are discussed; namely through simple weight gain measurement and dynamic vapour sorption (DVS), respectively. Simple weight gain measurement provides the equilibrium moisture content at a specified relative humidity. DVS, on the other hand, provides water sorption/desorption behaviour of natural fibres. Not only can the water sorption behaviour of natural fibres be determined, water sorption hysteresis can also be studied. A novel method of determining the accessible hydroxyl groups utilising heavy water using DVS apparatus was also discussed. This technique could potentially be applied to study the water sorption kinetics and mechanism of natural fibres.

    Electrokinetic characterisation of interfacial properties of natural fibres

    , Interface Engineering of Natural Fibre Composites for Maximum Performance, Pages: 205-221

    The benefits of electrokinetic measurements in the study of electrostatic interface forces and electrokinetic surface properties for many industrial, biological and medical applications are reviewed. Measuring ζ-potentials is a useful tool for the characterisation of natural fibres, including acid/base surface characterisation, and evaluating the relative acid/base strength as well as the swelling behaviour of natural fibres.

    Curing of composite materials using the recently developed Hephaistos Microwave

    Carbon-fibre reinforced epoxy prepreg laminates were cured using the VHM (Vötsch Hephaistos Microwave) microwave, which the manufacturer claims has tackled key issues associated with microwave processing of composites, such as nonhomogeneous microwave distribution, the difficulty of using metallic tooling and vacuum bagging in a microwave environment, and arcing, thus providing a very significant difference to other systems in the past. The different, and sometimes relatively inconclusive, results obtained in past work could be attributed to the different systems employed. The VHM system has allowed researchers to more accurately assess the real effects of microwave technology for processing polymer matrix composites (PMCs). The performance of the samples produced was evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy and mechanical testing. The results have been compared to samples cured conventionally.
