Flax/Polylactic Acid(PLA)Core/Sheath Structural Composite Yarn Fabricated by Spindle Braiding Technique
The increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly materials has driven research towards the development of green composites.In this work,the flax/poly lactic acid(PLA)braided yarns were fabricated by braiding PLA filaments with 4 to 24 spindles on flax yarns.After curing at different temperatures(180 ℃ and 190 ℃),the core/sheath structural flax/PLA composite yarns were manufactured.According to the results of the tensile test,the flax/PLA composite yarn with 4-spindle PLA yarns as a sheath layer and at a curing temperature of 180 ℃ reached the maximum elastic modulus of about(5.79±0.65)GPa and the maximum tensile strength of about(162.17±18.18)MPa.This flax/PLA composite yarn with good mechanical properties would be suitable for green composites in the automobile manufacturing industry and building materials.
