Abstract
Great interest has been shown lately in bio-composite materials because they are inexpensive and sustainable. Composites with matrices and natural reinforcers have been little studied. Here, we study certain mechanical properties of composite materials with a Dammar-based matrix (also named hybrid matrix) and flax fabric reinforcement. To be precise, we examine three types of resins where Dammar is the major component, with a volume proportion of 55%, 65% and 75%. In this respect, we have made composite materials reinforced by two types of flax fabric and we have measured the characteristic curves and some mechanical properties, such as the Young�s modulus, tensile strength and elongation at break using tensile tests. Based on the obtained properties, it is proposed or possible to use these materials in orthopedics.
