In terms of fibre material, the use of natural fibres offers particular potential. Currently, natural fibres are primarily used in non-structural applications. This is due in particular to the use of yarns. Yarn production is cost-intensive and implies a twisting of the fibres. This entails decisive disadvantages with regard to the achievable mechanical properties of the composite material. In this thesis, the requirements for processing natural fibres while saving on yarn production are thus developed. The solution approach involves the development of a suitable technology for processing flax fibre slivers into a high-performance ±45° multiaxial non-crimp fabric. The approach includes the necessary machine development, material qualification, ecological evaluation and economic assessment of the materials and processes. The machine development is performed according to the guideline VDI 2221. The main component of the novel system is a sliver feeder with temporary solidification by means of false twist. The proof of concept is achieved through production trials. Subsequently, the non-crimp fabric and the resulting composite material are qualified. The fabric is analysed with regard to homogeneity, drapability and impregnability. The evaluation is based on a utility analysis. The tensile, compression, bending and shear properties of the composite material are investigated on coupon level. The material is assessed using performance indices taking into account the properties of reference materials. This is followed by an ecological assessment by means of a product-related life cycle assessment according to DIN EN ISO 14040 and DIN EN ISO 14044 for an automotive demonstrator part. The evaluation is based on a contribution analysis, focussing on the CO2 equivalents caused by the materials and processes. Finally, an economic assessment is performed. The proof of market viability is provided by means of a cost comparison analysis for the fabric production as well as the material costs of the demonstrator part.}, cin = {419110}, ddc = {620}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)419110_20140620$}, pnm = {Entwicklung einer High-Performance Naturfaser-Verbundwerkstoffes für Strukturbauteile (HyPer-NFK) (19400 N) / Entwicklung von Multiaxialgelegen aus recycelten Carbonfasern - CarboReFab (21237 N)}, pid = {G:(BMWK)19400 N / G:(BMWK)21237 N}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2024-06918}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/989653}, }
