Question

What determination the properties of any fibre give few such properties of any fibre

Answer 1

Excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

Highest resistance to heat of any fibre.

Very low creep.

Very low elongation (2,4%).

Poor abrasion resistance.

Susceptible to axial compression fatigue.

Non conductive.

Answer 2

Fibres are broadly classified into two types - natural and synthetic fibres. 

Properties of natural fibres -

✳ The hydrophilic nature of natural fibres is incompatible with hydrophobic polymer matrix and has a tendency to form aggregate.These hydrophobic fibres exhibit poor resistant to moisture, which leads to high water absorption, subsequently resulting in poor tensile properties of the natural fibre reinforced composites .

Properties of Synthetic fibres -

✳ Superior melt processability , can produce microfibers.

✳ Low moisture absorption , rapid wicking ,excellent hand drape and resilience.

✳ Wrinkles resistance.
