The objective of this proposal is to develop hemp fiber reinforced composites for motorcycle parts to substitute current glass fiber composites of similar construction and specifications.
The objective of this project is to develop a high-performance hemp fabric with significant performance benefits so that military personnel’s mobility, maneuverability, survivability and performance in operations can be substantially improved. The major objective is to demonstrate the performance levels of hemp fabrics compared with the existing uniform fabrics. Hemp containing yarns and fabrics will be fabricated and tested.
The overarching goal of this project is to enable engineered manufacturing of sewn and embroidered e-textiles. It can be achieved by conducting sewability assessment of commercially available conductive yarns and providing optimal sewing parameters to ensure electrical performance and mechanical durability.
