    Mechanical Properties of Alfa, Sisal, and Hybrid Alfa/Sisal Fiber Satin Cloth Reinforced Epoxy
    (Springer Nature, 2024) Baali, Besma R.; Gherbi, Mohammed Tahar; Nour, Abdelkader; Casimir, J.B.; Saci, Rachid; Aguib, Salah; Attia, Nourhane; Aribi, Chouaib
    The mechanical behavior of composites, made of an epoxy resin matrix reinforced by 30 and 40% of a satin cloth from long Alfa, sisal and hybrid Alfa/sisal fibers was studied. The fibers are obtained by extraction with elimination of binders such as pectins and lignin. For each type of fibers, appropriate and optimal chemical and thermal treatments were conducted within NaOH solution, to enhance both the fiber surface quality and the interfacial bonding between fibers and matrix. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and chemical decomposition of treated and untreated fibers lead to prove the treatment efficiency. The thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses showed better thermal stability. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) made it possible to quantify the enthalpy changes which showed an increase in the amount of heat as a function of the increase in weight fraction of natural fibers. The endothermic reaction of the composites studied containing 30 wt% fiber reinforcement was less than that containing 40 wt% fiber reinforcement. The composite materials were produced by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) method due to hydrophilic nature of the fibers. The results of static tests were compared to those of pure epoxy resin. It showed a significant increase for 40 wt% woven A1lfa/epoxy of about 333, 113, and 81% in tension, 3-points bending and compression tests respectively. SEM morphology analysis revealed good interfacial adhesion between the treated fibers and the matrix.

    A comparative study of the creep behavior of laminated composites : effect of type of fiber and matrix
    (Academic Journals, 2017) Basaid, D.; Aribi, C.; Kari, J.; Benmounah, A.; Safi, Brahim
    This paper presents the effect of matrix type on creep behavior at 80% loads of ultimate tensile strength of two laminated composites at different fiber and matrix system. For this, two types of laminated composites were manufactured based on two types of fibers (carbon fabric and glass fabric) with different matrix systems EPOCAST 50-A1 (EP50-A), Epoxy STR (STR) and Epoxy INJ812 (INJ). The tensile and creep behavior of each laminated composite was studied in the same test conditions. A microstructural study was also investigated by SEM-microscopy on the morphology of composite specimens after creep rupture failures at 80% of applied load. The obtained results showed clearly the influence of matrix type used on the tensile and creep behavior of studied composites. Indeed, it was noted that no creep rupture failures were observed in short-term (less than 4 h) for INJ/Carbon composite at tensile creep tests at 80% loads of ultimate tensile strength. At the same ultimate tensile strength, EP50/Carbon composite showed a best creep behavior up to 30 h and had a creep modulus higher than other laminated composites. The observation of rupture facets of all composite samples showed clearly that the rupture will take place in the direction of loading, creating voids at the interface resin/fiber. These are observed based on the nature of the matrix used
