Abstract

A method of manufacturing a natural composite material multilayer structure includes: manufacturing a felt layer; spraying a thermosetting resin onto one surface or both surfaces of the felt layer; forming an intermediate layer of the sprayed thermosetting resin to form a composite material; heat-pressing the composite material through a heated mold; and cold-pressing the heat-compressed composite material.

Claims (25)

1. A method of manufacturing a natural composite material multilayer structure, the method comprising:

manufacturing a felt layer;

spraying a thermosetting resin onto one surface of the felt layer;

folding the felt layer such that the felt layer has an upper layer and a lower layer;

forming an intermediate layer having the sprayed thermosetting resin between the upper layer and the lower layer of the felt layer by folding the felt layer such that the sprayed thermosetting resin contacts the upper layer and the lower layer of the felt layer to form a composite material of the sprayed thermosetting resin and the felt layer;

heat-pressing the composite material through a heated mold; and

cold-pressing the heat-compressed composite material.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the felt layer includes natural fiber.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the natural fiber includes one or more of jute, hemp, bamboo, and sisal.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the felt layer includes a mixture of natural fiber and synthetic fiber.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the synthetic fiber includes polypropylene.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the synthetic fiber has a content exceeding 0% by weight and being 50% or less by weight with respect to the overall weight of the felt layer.

7. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the synthetic fiber includes polyester.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a polypropylene-based film is applied to the one surface of the felt layer.

9. The method according to claim 8 , wherein the polypropylene-based film has a weight of 50 to 200 g/m 2 .

10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the felt layer further includes glass fiber.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the thermosetting resin has a content of 10 to 60% by weight with respect to the overall weight of the natural composite material multilayer structure.

12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the thermosetting resin is one selected from the group consisting of urethane, epoxy, and acrylic resin.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the thermosetting resin is one of mixtures of two or more of urethane, epoxy and acrylic resin.

14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of spraying the thermosetting resin includes spraying onto both surfaces of the felt layer.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a polyolefin-based film is applied to the one surface of the felt layer.

16. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the polyolefin-based film has a weight of 50 to 200 g/m 2 .

17. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a non-woven fabric is applied to the one surface of the felt layer.

18. The method according to claim 17 , wherein the non-woven fabric has a weight of 50 to 200 g/m 2 .

19. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the felt layer further includes carbon fiber.
