Manufacturing Technique and Property Evaluation of Eco-Friendly Kevlar/PET/Nylon Composite Geotextile

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study produces composite geotextile, and evaluates its effectiveness of being used for soil protection. Kevlar fibers, high strength polyethylene terephthalate (HPET) fibers, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) fibers, and nylon grids are made into Kevlar/PET/Nylon composite geotextiles, which are then tested for air permeability, and tensile, tearing, and bursting strength. The experimental results show that when the ratio of Kevlar fibers to HPET is 0/40, the resulting composite geotextile has the optimum mechanical properties, where the tensile strength is approximately 990 N, tearing strength is approximately 890 N, bursting strength is approximately 3700, and an air permeability is around 35 cm3/cm2/s.
