Abstract | This problem can be solved by converting the plant fibres into yarns or fabrics. Plant fibres in the form of fabric are the most convenient material for a reinforcement considering its good fibre distribution as well as easy to handle during composite fabrication. The selection of fabric criterion on top of fibre type is also essential to ensure its suitability as reinforcement. In this work, three types of fabrics were analysed for their characteristics. Fabrics were analysed in terms of their physical characteristics such as fabric density, weight, thickness, yarn size and yarn crimp. The analysis continued with the fibre density and cloth cover factor determination which are related with the resin penetration. Tensile property characterisation was also done on the fabric which is important to predict their contribution on the composite materials. Fabric characteristics are important to be determined as we need to decide which fabric is more suitable as reinforcement and could give desired composite properties. |
