  W pracy omówiono wyniki badań fizyko-mechanicznych kompozytów otrzymanych z mieszanek zawierających kauczuk naturalny oraz statystycznie zdyspergowane krótkie włókno sisalowe. Włókno naturalne przed użyciem poddano merceryzacji.Otrzymane wulkanizaty poddano badaniom wytrzymałościowym w warunkach statycznych w celu określenia wpływu parametrów wulkanizacji i ilości dodanego włókna na właściwości otrzymanych produktów. Stwierdzono...

  The paper reviews the properties of cement composites reinforced with short fibres. The effect of natural fibres was investigated: cotton, sisal, jute, ramie, bamboo, and synthetic fibres: polymer and polypropylene. It was noticed that the fibres change the consistency of the mixture up to 15%. In the composite flexural strength tests, a change in strength by +/− 8% was observed, depending on the type of fibres used. The research...

  Bio-composites are materials which possess unique properties and undergo biodegra-dation under specific conditions. Bio-composites belong to the group of materials produced with the use of renewable raw materials. They contain reinforcement, mainly in the form of natural fiber, which has high stiffness and resistance; filler powders are less frequently used. Significant features of natural fibers are elongation, density, thermal...

  In this paper the results of the mechanical properties of polyurethane biocomposites reinforced with short sisal fibers are presented. The fillers were added in different amount: 5, 10 and 15% by mass. Tensile test, hardness, abrasion resistance, elasticity were determined according to the standards.
