天然树木和竹子纤维材料的力学性能及仿生研究进展
摘要
Natural bio-fiber composites have the characteristics of simple elements and sophisticated structure, superior mechanical properties of high strength, high toughness and low coefficient of friction, and are the inspirational sources for the design of new materials. Biomimetic fiber composites have been widely used in modern industry. At present, studies of learning from the natural biological material structure-functional characteristics to manufacturing biomimetic structure—Functional integration material have originated lots of results, such as imitating wood porous ceramic material, imitating shell multi-layer composite materials and imitating bone porous scaffolds, etc. However, a lot of problems still exist, such as fiber is brittle and easy to be pulled out, the size selection of the whisker is difficult, the choice of ceramic matrix composite toughening methods is difficult, etc. To guide advanced biomimetic materials designs, it is important to reveal the relationships between the distribution, angle and density of cellulose, structure and binding mode of interface and the mechanical and frictional properties of the biological fiber composites. Wood and bamboo are the most common natural biological fiber composites which have excellent mechanical properties. They have been widely used in a variety of traditional architectural and ship parts. In this manuscript, recent researches on the mechanical properties of the wood and bamboo as the typical representatives of the natural biological fiber composites have been reviewed. The biomimetic composites of natural fiber materials have been briefly summarized. This tentative review might provide a reference for the design and preparation of biomimetic high strength, wear-resistant fiber composites. Trees and bamboo with excellent tribological properties relies not only on its internal structure, but also on its biological activity. If purely from a mechanical point of view to achieve the purpose of the bionic, it i
