Description
Summary:Protective textiles require massive consumption of fibers and fabrics, which is responsible for diverse highstrength fabric waste. Wrongly arranged disposal of textile waste is equivalent to the waste valuable resource while causing environmental pollutions. Aramid selvages are worthwhile recycling and used in this study. They are scattered into Aramid staple fibers and mixed with low melting point polyester (LMPET) fibers to form the Aramid matrices employing the nonwoven process. The matrices are added to different combinations to form Aramid composite matrices and hybrid-fiberreinforced composite boards. The process of shearing, crowding, and friction helps improve the mechanical properties of the composite boards according to the evaluations of conducted tests. With the premise of minimum damage to the fibers, this study uses recycled Aramid waste to produce composite boards that have features of high performance and low production cost. As a test result, the hybrid-fiber-reinforced composite boards with 90 wt% of recycled Aramid fibers have the optimal mechanical property and static puncture resistance.
