Dynamic Mechanical Analysis of Thermoplastic Composites Reinforced with Flax Fiber
Résumé
Flax Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FFRP) composites have gained attention for their environmentally sustainable qualities and mechanical performance, making them promising candidates for the construction sector. This research examines the dynamic mechanical properties of thermoplastic FFRP compo-sites using a Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) device. The study initially focuses on the influence of temperature on the material's viscoelastic behav-iour, essential for applications where materials are exposed to fluctuating environmental conditions. Additionally, frequency sweep tests are performed to assess the composite’s response to different frequencies. Data are further analysed using the TimeTemperature Superposition Principle (TTSP) to es-timate long-term performance. These findings provide valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of FFRP composites, highlighting their poten-tial for applications requiring durability and flexibility across varying tem-peratures and stress conditions.
