摘要：

Thermoplastics reinforced by natural fibres are mainly used for fitting-up products in the automotive industry. The aim of this work is to study the tensile properties of natural fibre-biopolymer composites in order to determine whether or not, biocomposites may replace glass fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester resins. The materials used are flax fibre, polylactic, acid (PLA), L-polylactide acid (PLLA), poly(3-hydroxylbutyrate) (PHB), polycaprolactone and starch thermoplastic (MaterBi (R) Z), poly(butylene succianate) (PBS) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephtalate) (PBAT). The tensile properties of the flax fibres have already been determined [C. Baley, Analysis of the flax fibres tensile behaviour and analysis of the tensile stiffness increase, Comp Part A 2002;33:939-948). The composites are manufactured using a film stacking technique. After studying the processing parameters, these are then adapted to each thermoplastic composites. Test samples are cut out from the composites to test their mechanical properties under tensile loading conditions. These tensile properties are then compared to those of similar polypropylene flax composites. Preliminary results show that the tensile properties are improved with the fibre volume fraction. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of PLLA and PLA flax composites are greater than those of similar PP/flax fibre composites. The specific tensile strength and modulus of flax fibre/PLLA composite have proved to be very close to those of glass fibre polyester composites. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
