composite's materials are part of our everyday lines they are found in such as
wide-ranging a strong sports construction and sport
composition cereals are obtained by just supposing one or more types of fibers
common flaxen sont with organic matrix deepok series and others
in southern bristling at the university of louisville recession christoph daily
has been looking for over fifteen years old plant fibers
which are increasingly used in the development of composition to realize
although the material composite's our fascination materials
working with plants working with the living products moldova it's also a
change in the way we look at materials
it changes your point of view about the earth
at visual vinaka using renewable materials because they will be no way to
manufacture or waste synthetic products the day the oil runs out
flax is one of the leading plant fibers
unless we are lucky to have such a beautiful plant which produces
high-quality five a six and if you know how to select the right ones
you can create a product with mechanical properties equivalent to those of
fiberglass france has a large crock region
so the material is available today if we want to develop materials for tomorrow
the fibers must be available tomorrow night flux is available which makes it a
useful part of the fascinating launching
flax fibre is a complex natural material
requiring various types of physical and chemical analyses
on a wide ranging scale
news of all
weaver carrying out studies at gmail crystal peak level arun from that we go
down to the level of the elementary fighter
measured in microns systemically fiber is about twenty microns and a half forty
so it's about half the size of the book then we want to see what happens inside
the fiber and we change scale this picture
speeches his data
city
and overseas here we're using comic roles microscope this more than lies i
suppose it's an extremely sophisticated instruments video starting the
interaction between a minor congress table polymer
and uh... microparticles senators i think the main component of faxes which
makes up about eighty percent of the fiber
someone's border none
after the atomic level confused looking at the interaction between this
microparticles senators
and the polymer thread
begin next week and things that he millimeter scale well and even complex
structures of the metric scale there is a large variations subject matters
physics since the pilots have to be impregnated by a polymer chemistry
because we develop formulas and bio chemistry and biology because we have to
understand exactly what flax fibre is
market for composite's materials of cancer returned
is continually growing as new buying criteria such as respect for the
environment lower prices and greater technical efficiency make them
increasingly attractive
induction currently emerging markets are the traditional composite's materials
and plastics markets
plastic manufacturers to make parts have no choice but to innovation they have to
make progress they have to stay ahead of the curve
so they are focusing on he could design trying to make high-performance parts
that have less of an impact on the environment in order to get a leader of
the competition woes
we are in contact with a large number of manufacturers who either come to learn
from our work or to work together with us to develop new technologies
fail because they have capital
it's not one example is the has more company both manufacturer interested in
our materials but they want to programs that they have a concept of and we're
exchanging ideas working together sharing information
and in this way we can change scale and have higher feasibility with less risk
one of the showing that it is possible to use materials from the love are free
from research for industrial applications
cooperation we need to sample moran's substitute fax five a using the new
products that will be coming out soon
to know the holding from the whole way to flex on
female but wrong
bottlenecks both days three years ago at the paris berkshire when we showed for
the first time a prototype kayak made of flax and we were extraordinarily
surprised by the reaction
everybody wanted a kayak or larger flex final vote people very receptive to
touch harder for them it has become a symbol of the ecology
did any good
global so we produce this fax five a prototype in order to test the lifespan
of the resistance on flex final booking it
divert the water border
building boats with material which is known for the
and whose energy balances as positive as possible weeks which is what motivates
us and our customers which makes it an economically feasible plan for a
student's it's a real incentive for our customers
directly voted for us in innovating with this material is to improve upon the
weaknesses of other five is that we can use to mainly fiberglass which is
extremely common major disadvantage of fiberglass apart from the fact that it
takes a lot of energy to manufacture is that he's not biodegradable toward this
means that when the kayak or a boat arrives at the end of his life which is
fortunately extremely long
about thirty forty or fifty years
no one knows what to do with it
the greatest advantage of flax fibre compared with fiberglass is it's
biodegradable iti
yesterday tracks fibers a means of standing out from our competitors
we're going further and faster than those who still use traditional fiber
leg still available dissident it's castle more generally speaking without
thinking of our own interests if the whole water sports industry
used flex vinyl consider fiberglass
result would be much much better for the environment unilateral epithets in the
safety of the year
was that that is the dream i have and i'm convinced the fax is the future of
composition
this move now to move in and out of
wearing a perfect setting for research
ignca belfast spends his time studying flax fibre
blair stressful face there is such that we do here is on the application of
facts
in composite's materials with them and and on the properties of composite
materials
which are made with flax fibre solicit efficacy them out
there is no progress without practical application of batteries of tests are
constantly proving the progress made in researching
told me we produced composite's materials this and then carry out the
chemical tests
tensile tests show up shop tests impact test fatigue tests position if you're
still contests work all to see how the flights for him as part of a compliment
here's reacts do different kinds of stress and strain
hill said this is sealed in this test we stimulate impact on kava composite's
materials
extra shocked triple and then we compare the properties of composite materials
made with flax fibers to other composite's made with carbon or glass
fiber
if you could let alone the cell phone but i was having a very interesting
advantages in the sense that they're mechanical properties in terms of
rigidity
all summer to five o'clock swedish judicial seemed a little to the fair
one of the light weight is important
flax fibre has an advantage in this respect compared with glass fiber if you
could be fair
effects of in the automotive industry for example
might which is becoming increasingly important
because fuel consumption is directly related to the weight of the car surgery
in his car parts made a fax five accomplice
if there is a distinct advantage because failed forty-three develop
sex isn't that a song
was a lawsuit
we work in the car market producing almost materials for things like door
panels communism tablets the automobile
we use on the standard reached a fax is mixed with poly prop rhythm with these
two fibers arriving three hundred kilo bales there opened and put in the carter
it over the place if i was in parallel and separate them
the fact is i'm glad to give it a certain consistency and then she's
mechanically speaking whose needles which carries fibers from the top of the
lap of the bottom in order to create hypertens
but if you had the unique characteristic of flights where there is a textile more
material please its strength
federally defined as a strong insufficiently fine to mix well with
fibers usually used in non-woven materials which makes fleck stronger
than other fibers
frost also that this was the full amount of ninety nine percent of our businesses
in the car industry our next move will be into housing
furnishing little odio textiles will horticulture and we are going to
increasingly focus on research and development in biomaterials
because we want to adopt a sustainable development policy
uh... era
international post explains some of the new of course for facts composite's
ample within there are many possible applications for composite materials
containing flax fibre vasanthi particularly whenever lightweight is
important
will face off in sport for example there is a real future for these products one
we have yet to discover
one day for example mashing there will be perhaps he's made a fax five oh
for the fact that took place
it also we can imagine in the energy sector indicating where wind turbines
are coming out of five regards healthy the fair
triple skill i think that there is also
possibility of introducing flax fibers into those applications as well
one manufacturer whose business is exclusively based on building machines
intended for harvesting
and initial processing of flax fibre
quickly understood the potential for blacks in this new movement
casual we became interested in composite's because it's a growing
sector and we believe the facts private has enormous potential socialization
have also tried to bring together all the players
both at the university level as well as in the private sector
in order to define the natural fiber and its intrinsic qualities sales in order
to implemented incompetent materials
and to find condominiums
fault polypropylene span polyimide strictly she is a case of any help
this company created in texas
of variety of flanks commonly used in plastics processing went ahead with poly
propylene it plays a key role in the creation of all kinds of products
mediation we directly implemented the injection of natural fiber and
polypropylene
using plastics processing methods
to create where parts for a fax pickups if we very quickly sold to diversify
into manufacture other products
with the same material in order to move on to other sectors such as the
automotive sports aeronautics andy often industries this is an enormous years of
research and starting to bear fruit we now have some forty eight industrial
partnerships for future applications in the field of natural composite's equity
that's right
mcdaniel according to the specialists the composition removed tomorrow will be
made with a natural fiber
for its sustainability recycle bility biodegradable iti
all of which are issues today
that will shape the society of tomorrow specific to them
live-action material pulled off the market for composite's materials is
growing extremely quickly deptford has been a remarkable increase in the use of
composite's materials acadia publicity fifty-eight yet
i'm the only thing that the composite's with flax fibers can put up a good
fighting gaining market share said that
referal for that
left activists of luxury
said to the situation is highly promising
but they will need to make a move on the market actions to show that the fax five
a composite's
we're really contain properties
which may come competitive with other composite materials icky such as those
made with fiberglass i think that the fed itself
on one hand our society is becoming increasingly concerned about respect in
the environment
and on the other
industries constantly in search of materials as in a bar higher level of
technical and economic performance
this being said
the future of natural composite's containing facts seems highly promising
given the wide range of factors of acting the development of facts in agra
materials
it is up to the state all those in the center
to organize and promote the use of plant fibers
whose products or for genuine competitive advantages in relation to
convert materials
