“…It is known that the formation of voids is one of the most common production defects observed in composites. These voids let the composites absorb more moisture and become more sensitive to environmental conditions while reducing their mechanical strengths [32]. Mechanical strength test results also support the change in performance around 30BIO samples.…”

“…According to the statistical analysis, there is no significant difference (p=0.896) among the fiber weight ratios of the samples from 0BIO to 40 BIO however, above 40 wt% AESO content, the decrement is found statistically significant (p=0.000). AESO resin, which has a very viscous structure, presents difficulties in production, and studies to reduce its viscosity by using together with other synthetic polymeric resins/components (styrene, methacrylated isosorbide, etc) as a solution to this situation are included in the literature [32,34]. The slight decrement of the fiber weight ratio of the 50BIO sample can result from the excess resin on the fabric.…”

“…In that study, AESO with 30 wt% styrene content composites manufactured by vacuum infusion technique has the lower tensile strength with higher elongation values than pure epoxy composites. The reason for this was explained by higher flexibility of the AESO resin and incomplete curing of the AESO resin that results in free movement of polymer chains and thus higher elongation [32].…”

“…This data is also supported by the stress-strain curves of composites ( figure 6). The pure epoxy content (0BIO) has the characteristic peaks of a brittle material while the 90BIO with its high AESO content has a specific ductile material curve [32].…”

“…In another study, Temmink et al (2018) reinforced bio-epoxy and AESO resin with post-consumer denim waste with four different manufacturing techniques (compression molding, vacuum infusion, resin transfer molding and hand lay-up). The results showed that bio-epoxy composites have superior properties compared to AESO composites, while both bioepoxy and AESO-based composite materials are found suitable for structural applications [32]. In a study of Niedermann (2014), the impact of the addition of epoxidized soybean oil on mechanical, storage modulus and glass transition temperature of jute fabric reinforced epoxy composites was investigated.…”

In our world, where environmental factors are taken into consideration more and more, the interest in biomaterials leaves its place to the need and this leads the researchers to search for new materials. The aim of this study is to produce an environmentally friendly, sustainable material with the use of a plant oilbased bio-resin (acrylated epoxidized soybean oil). In this context, bio-composites containing different proportions (from 0 to 100 wt%, in 10% increments) of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and epoxy resin are reinforced with four-ply jute woven fabric and produced by the vacuum infusion method. The bio-composites produced within the scope of the study analyzed physically (fiber weight ratio), mechanically (tensile strength, flexural strength, drop-weight impact resistance, and Charpy impact strength), instrumentally (differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy) and morphologically (scanning electron microscopy). According to the results, the tensile and flexural strength values of the composites containing more than 30 wt% AESO resin decrease due to the ductility of the structure; subsequently, composites with AESO content above 50 wt% are found to exhibit superior impact resistance. Composites with pure AESO resin absorb 7 J energy which is almost 3 times higher than pure epoxy composites. The maximum tensile strength (63 MPa) of composites are achieved for 30 wt% AESO content indicating the newly formed hydrogen bonding leading to enhanced fiber-matrix interface. The bio-composites designed and produced in the project have been a promising alternative for various end-use areas, from construction elements to the automotive sector and sports equipment, where human health and environmental elements are considered.

This research reports thermoset composites reinforced with cotton and polyester fibers (recovered from pre‐consumer textile waste). The carded web of cotton and polyester fibers and epoxy resin were used to develop the composites using the compression molding technique. The polyester/epoxy composites show average tensile and impact strength higher than cotton/epoxy composites. However, cotton/epoxy composites show average flexural strength higher than polyester/epoxy composites. The bearing strength in a pinned joint for polyester/epoxy composites is higher than cotton/epoxy composites. The equilibrium water content of polyester/epoxy composites was found much less than the corresponding cotton/epoxy composite. The cotton/epoxy and polyester/epoxy composites are thermally stable enough.
