Multi-Functional Properties of Wool Fibre Composites

Abstract:

Composites sheets based on short wool fibres and polypropylene were fabricated by extrusion process. A three-factor two-level experimental design using Taguchi method was applied in manufacturing the composites to explore the contribution of each parameter on mechanical properties. Fire retardant behaviour of the composites with different fibre weight ratios was investigated by horizontal burning test and cone calorimetric analysis without the addition of any fire retardant agent. Reduction of burning rate with increase in the wool fibre content was observed and suitable formulation of the composites was selected for evaluation of mechanical properties.
