doi:10.19936/j.cnki.2096-8000.20210328.020

Abstract

Abstract: Natural fibers with renewable, biodegradable and environmental-friendly features have attracted greater concern owing to the strict pollution control regulation and the increasing environmental awareness. Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFRPCs) exhibit superior vibration damping performances compared with traditional carbon fiber or glass fiber reinforced polymer composites. In this review, available literatures regarding the damping properties of NFRPCs are gathered in the latest decade. The paper starts with the analysis of multi-scale morphological characterization and damping mechanism of natural fibers. Then testing methods and characteristic parameters of NFRPCs damping performances are introduced. Moreover, influences of fiber orientation, fiber length, fiber content, surface modification and hybridization on the vibration damping performances are illustrated in details. Finally, this review identifies some technical challenges and suggestions in vibration damping domain for NFRPCs in future material.

Key words: natural fiber, polymer composites, vibration damping, dynamic mechanical performances, hybrid composites
