Abstract
This work describes the use of the airlaying process as a manufacturing method for fibrous composites from cellulose. Relatively dense composite sheets were prepared with the short fiber airlaying technique from fluff pulp (75 wt% and 25 wt%) and conventional thermoplastic PP/PE bicomponent fibers (25 wt% and 75 wt%) as a mixture of 3mm and 12 mm long fibers. The effect of the fiber mixture ratios on the tensile and impact strength properties of composites was investigated. The results show that these properties were proportional to weight ratios of components.
