Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
IMPREGNATION OF FABRIC FOR ADVANCED MECHANICAL, TRANSPORT, AND FUNCTIONAL PROPERTIES
A method includes a) impregnating a woven, non-woven, or knitted fabric with a silk fibroin solution. A method includes b) curing the silk fibroin solution, thereby forming the cured silk polymer matrix having the woven, non-woven, or knitted fabric embedded therein. The fiber-reinforced polymer composite includes the cured polymer matrix in an amount by weight that is at least 25%, at least 50%, at least 75%, or at least 100% of the woven, non-woven, or knitted fabric. The cured polymer matrix comprises silk fibroin in an amount by weight of at least 10%.
