Abstract
Type IV gas cylinders are widely used in the field of vehicles due to their advantages such as light weight, cleanliness, and low cost. Ramie fiber/degradable epoxy resin composites (RFRDE) provide new ideas for the material selection of Type IV gas cylinders due to their advantages of low carbon emissions, low environmental pollution, and renewable resource utilization. However, the poor interfacial bonding strength and moisture resistance between polyethylene plastics and RFRDE have limited their application areas. This study tested the mechanical properties of ramie fibers at different heat treatment temperatures, and studied the thermal mechanical properties of RFRDE through differential scanning calorimeter and curing kinetics methods. At 180 °C, the tensile strength of fiber bundles decreased by 34% compared to untreated fibers. As the highest curing temperature decreases, the tensile strength of RFRDE increases but the curing degree decreases. At the highest curing temperature of 100 °C, the tensile strength of RFRDE is 296 MPa. The effect of the corona discharge and flexible adhesive on the surface modification of polyethylene was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. These results provide guidance for the development of natural fiber/degradable epoxy resin composite materials.
