Definitions
- the invention relates to a fiber-reinforced composite material containing a thermoplastic polymer matrix of at least one styrene (co)polymer and at least one natural fiber component.
- This composite material can, for. B. be produced by pressing in the layer structure using pressure and heat.
- the material combines structural rigidity, good workability and pleasing aesthetics, making it suitable for a variety of applications, including high performance.
- the fiber-reinforced composite material is also characterized by its high surface gloss.
- Fiber-reinforced composite materials have been known for years and consist of a large number of reinforcing fibers embedded in a polymer matrix.
- the areas of application for fiber-reinforced composite materials are diverse. For example, they are used in the automotive and aviation industries.
- the materials are intended to prevent the matrix from breaking or otherwise fragmenting and to reduce the risk of accidents caused by scattered component pieces.
- Many fiber-reinforced composite materials are able to absorb relatively high forces under load before the material fails.
- the fiber-reinforced composite materials of the present invention are characterized by high strength and rigidity combined with low density and other advantageous properties, such as good resistance to aging and corrosion.
- the strength and stiffness of the composite materials are adjustable to the direction and type of loading.
- the fibers are particularly important for the strength and stiffness of the fiber composite material.
- the fiber arrangement determines the mechanical properties of the fiber composite material.
- the matrix serves in particular to direct most of the forces to be absorbed to the individual fibers and to keep the spatial arrangement of the fibers in the desired orientation. Since both the type of fibers and the matrix materials can be varied, numerous combinations of fibers and matrix materials are possible.
- Endless fiber-reinforced composites are used for the highest demands on strength and rigidity of the fiber composite materials.
- the length of the fibers is limited only by the final component, which is introduced in particular as a woven or non-crimp fabric and with a high resulting fiber volume content. This results in a high degree of specific interface between the fiber system and matrix in the component or semi-finished product.
- good impregnation of the continuous fibres, fabrics or gels with the polymer matrix is often technically challenging.
- fiber-reinforced materials have the potential to be used in various areas, it should be possible to produce them with high-quality surfaces without the need for additional, complex work steps.
- Good optical properties are important for many applications, such as the possibility of using the fiber-reinforced composite materials to achieve elements or components with smooth surfaces (e.g. low surface waviness, lack of holes or depressions), decorativeness and high transparency. Up to now, these optical properties could not be achieved with many fiber-reinforced composite materials.

- the reinforcing fibers are each used with different adhesion promoter compositions, which cause different fiber-matrix adhesions.
- the reinforcing fibers must be introduced into the matrix as complex networks. Such an approach requires an undesirably complex and labor intensive manufacturing process.
- WO 2008/119678 discloses glass fiber-reinforced compositions whose mechanical properties are improved by using maleic anhydride-containing styrene copolymer. However, the use of short fibers is taught.

- the natural fiber component (B) used in the tests was:
- Flax fiber fabric flax fiber twill fabric 2/2, basis weight 300 g/m 2 ,
- flax fiber fabric (ampliTex 5040, 300 g/m 2 , 300 tex) was used as natural fiber fabric (B), and SAN copolymer film (150 ⁇ m) as thermoplastic component (A) in the example according to the invention (see above ); or a PP thermoplastic film (135 ⁇ m) in the comparative example, as characterized above.
- the layers were pressed at a temperature of 210° C. under a pressure of 20 bar for a period T 1 of 5 s.
- the tool was then cooled to 60° C. over a period T 2 of 25 min at a pressure of 20 bar.
- the composite material was then removed and examined mechanically, optically and with regard to the surface.
- the SAN layer in the composite material according to the invention (in each case) had an average thickness of 0.150 mm.
- the PP layer in the comparative composite material (each) had an average thickness of 0.135 mm.
- the flax fiber fabric (in each case) in the composite material according to the invention had an average thickness of 0.207 mm.
- the flax fiber fabric also had an average thickness of 0.207 mm in the comparison composite material.
- Table 1 shows parameters for manufactured fiber-reinforced composite materials (K)
- the total thickness measured after experimental fabrication was slightly greater than the calculated thickness of each composite material.
- the composite material according to the invention contained about 45% by weight polymer matrix and about 55% by weight fibrous tissue.
- the PP-based composite material contained about 37% by weight polymer matrix and about 63% by weight fibrous tissue.
- the fiber-reinforced composite materials (K) obtained were mechanically examined and characterized by means of gloss measurements according to the ISO 2813 (2015) standard.
- Mechanical characterization can be done via impact strength, notched impact strength and others.
- the storage stability at different temperatures and humidities can also be examined comparatively.
- Table 2 shows the results of the gloss measurement to characterize the fiber-reinforced composite material (K) It has been shown that the fiber-reinforced composite material (K) with styrene copolymer as the thermoplastic polymer matrix (A) according to the invention can be used in a simple production process to produce a composite material with low density, good mechanical properties and also significantly increased gloss (e.g. gloss 20° or gloss 60°) is obtained.
- This material is also ecologically beneficial, e.g. it can easily be fed into a recycling process.
- Analogous composite materials can also be easily produced with other natural fiber fabrics in a corresponding manner, in particular based on cotton fiber, kenaf fiber, jute fiber, hemp fiber, cellulose fiber, sisal fiber, chitin fiber, keratin fiber, bamboo fiber, coconut fiber and/or from pretreated natural fibers.
